Sure, you can use your own string with the Cool Maker 2-in-1 KumiKreator. This is a pretty neat machine for making friendship bracelets and necklaces. Even though it's mainly designed to work with the spools and materials that come with the kit, some folks have had success trying it out with their own strings.
From what we've found, the initial setup can be a bit of a challenge. Getting the spools loaded can be tricky, especially for younger crafters. Things like managing the tension in the strands are really important for getting a good result, and it might take a little practice to get it right.
But once you get used to how it works, it usually becomes a lot easier. Some people say their projects turned out even better once they figured out the tension and tried using different strings.
Once you get the hang of it, the KumiKreator is pretty cool. It can quickly make some detailed designs, which can be really satisfying for creative projects. Plus, it's kind of fun to watch your creation come together.
A nice feature is that you don't need to tie knots at the end. The kit includes clasps to secure your work, which makes finishing up easier. Just a heads-up, though, some folks say the provided clasps aren't the most sturdy. A few have chosen to use their own clasps to make sure everything stays put and adds a personal flair.
Overall, if you're looking for a crafting kit that's a bit challenging but also a lot of fun, the KumiKreator is a solid choice. A little patience and practice can really help, and depending on the age and patience of the crafter, the experience can vary, but it's definitely a fun way to get creative.
