They include everything you'll need except a glue gun (small) and a dowel rod to roll the petals. I used a wooden skewer. I was really impressed. The felt is thin and stiff, which I think works well.

The one downside was the needles they send with are flimsy and one snapped in half when I was using it, but I had some of my own and just used those instead." —Ama

Promising review: "I was interested because of the clean ingredients. My daughter and I have very sensitive skin so most lip balm doesn't work or is unreasonably expensive. This seemed like a good way to control the ingredients at a great price. The product exceeded my expectations for sure and the kids had fun doing the parts they could do (ages seven and nine). Probably better for kids over 10 or kids who have long attention spans and good fine motor skills. The lip balm turned out smooth and silky. I love it!" —UKJane

The next day I received a message that my hot sauce was a hit and my friend was drowning everything in it and they couldn’t have enough.
