*PRESALE - 🌟 CrystalNinja Nutcracker Collab Box 🌟

I was very excited to receive this Collab Box. I am new to blinging things and thought this would be a great way to jump in and learn the art of blinging. I guess in my excitement, I didn't absorb that this was a collab box. I'm an avid crafter and most of the projects included things I already do or have done, so I now have duplicate supplies (UV resin, UV light, 4 tubes of glitter, gold leaf, etc.). My box also arrived damaged, which was disappointing because it was a really nice box that would have been fun to reuse in some way.

The rhinestone projects were ok - one small flat wooden nutcraker ornament, a larger 3D nutcracker ornament, a purse mirror, a mini tumbler, a mini cup, two plastic ornaments, a pen, and a tumbler keychain. I completed them all except one; I could not get the glue to stick to the 3D nutcracker so I could attach the rhinestones. I did give up on that project. I had to wait for additional rhinestones to be sent to me so I could finish the pen (which was the project I enjoyed most).

The rhinestones included were wonderful - loved the colors and the variety but the box included pointed back rhinestones to use on a flat surface, which I thought was an odd choice and decided not to use. Otherwise, A+ on the rhinestones.

There were no written instructions but instead 1hr long videos for each of the 10 projects. I am not a video person so that was frustrating to me. I tried my best to watch them but really only needed 5-10 mins of the vid to see what I was supposed to do. The lady leading the videos seemed like she didn't know what to do with some of the projects leaving me thinking the projects weren't really vetted very well.

The glue in this project was not good as rhinestones started falling off of one the projects a week later and I was able to take the remaining rhinestones off pretty easily. This was despite me being fairly heavy-handed with the glue as I've never used a syringe to apply glue before. Definitely would not recommend the glue.

In the end, it just didn't feel like this box was worth the $280 price. The projects didn't justify the price, in my opinion. For exmaple,one of the daily boxes had ketchup-type cups in it. I am sad because it was my Christmas present to myself and I wish I had saved my money and bought something else.

This was an enjoyable Holiday project. This fun family kit opens your mind to a world of projects that can be done with rhinestones. The cute boxes are filled with little surprise kits to add sparkle to cute items. The collaboration of companies and their products created beautiful holiday items.

This box was absolutely amazing! There were 10 mini projects included with all of the supplies to complete each one. Plus, the Crystal Ninja herself went live to complete every project with me! It was such a blast and all of the projects turned out beautifully! I definitely recommend ordering if one comes out again!

This was truly amazing! Something for everyone beginner to advanced. Great lives! My thanks to everyone that contributed and the Crystal Ninja crew that put everything together! Can't wait till next year!

This was an amazing box and the projects were so fun and really sparkly and beautiful

Not to mention, the quality of everything was superb, which it's Crystal Ninja, who would expect any less?! I hope these come out every year because nothing will take its place from here on out, lol! Thank you to the sponsors and a huge thank you to the Crystal Ninja team, you are all so amazing! Happy Holidays!!

The amount of time and creativity put into every craft and activity in this collab is phenomenal! Crystal Ninja went above and beyond to provide an amazing Christmas variety from fabulous companies including Crystal Ninja. The video instructions are amazing!! Kellie did such an amazing job putting this together!! Thank you so much!!

Took a trip to San Diego to meet the Crystal Ninja team! What an amazing group of people. I was welcomed and given a tour of the facility. Got to see up close some incredible sparkly works of art there. The rhinestones are beautiful so managed to get some awesome ones.
