I'm so sad; today we got a bad review on iTunes from one mom who said it was too hard. Like any craft, it takes practice, but like riding a bike - once you get the hang of it, it's soo worth it! If you're enjoying making CustomBandz, would you please, please, please take a moment to give it a good review on iTunes?
