My daughter wanted this so badly. So she forked over her allowance and bought it. We've used Klutz books for ages and usually have great success. This one was a bit of a dud. It was really difficult to make the pompoms using the enclosed pompom maker. They kept falling apart and once you've cut the yarn, there isn't any way to fix it except to buy more. I've done crafts all my life but I just couldn't get how they wanted the pompom maker to work. My daughter failed and so did I. When it became unfruitful, she gave up. Since there are others who have made it work, I can only assume we were not doing something right. But if this is for kids, it should be fairly easy.

Unfortunately, it has not been touched since the first few tries.
