Disney and Hannah Montana have produced a 'Make Your Own Fashion Accessories Kit' that serves as a good first step into playing with elements of design. Unfortunately, it is also a lesson in what doesn't work. While this kit comes with everything you need, it suggests using the materials in ways that don't work as wearable objects.

Enthusiastic crafters know that the best afternoons are spent working on a DIY project with friends. It is equally rewarding to introduce young DIYers to crafting their own style. Use this kit as a jump start to crafting together. Have fun with it as you experiment with the materials, but don't expect your fashions to last.

Find out more about the ups and downs of this new kit.
