My Opinion Regarding Magical Gift Company...

I read couple of articles about Magical Gift Company and surprised how many people think that this is a slave labor!

The projects are difficult to make and in the beginning, it will take you many many many times to make a satisfactory piece, as everyone knows.
But I'm still happy to work for them and there are many reasons why I like this company.

So, I decided to tell you about my experience with them.

Last summer, I decided to order one kit (Wool Sheep).
When I got the kit, I realized that I needed a glue gun to make the sheep.
I didn't wanna buy an expensive one because I was still skeptical about this company, so I went to Walmart and bought a normal and 'affordable' glue gun (fine point one).

I started to make it, but it was sooooo hard!
Of course, I didn't pass the first time.
Then, I practiced wrapping the wool many times. However, I still didn't pass the second time, either.

So, I practiced more! Every day, I just practiced wrapping over and over!!
I wrapped it, unwrapped it, wrapped it...
It was very frustrating.

And then, I sent the third sample in. I passed it!! It took me about 3 months from when I first received the kit!

After that, I received the materials to make 10.
I was so happy that I could finally make some money with this wool.
But, this first 10 was very difficult, too.
It took me a week to finish!! Moreover, NEC said that the legs were too long and the heads were too big. :(
If you have made some mistake, your total shipment amount won't be increased, so I received 10 materials 3 more times after that.

I was thinking that I wanted to make $450, but I'm just making only $10 and spending a week for only $10!!!

I'm sure that everyone will think about this like me.
Even if you could pass the trial, you can't make money so easily.

Like I mentioned in the previous posts, hang in there! Don't quit yet!!

When I received materials for 50, I started to think what is the best way to make these as fast as possible and as neat as possible.

At this time, I stopped thinking about their instructions.
I made my own way to make sheep.
The difficult part is to wrap the wool. At that time, it took me an hour to wrap 1.
You know, it's funny. After I made my list, I started to improve my skills!
I could wrap 3 in an hour.

Now, I can wrap 5 or 6 in an hour.
It's been about a year since I started this crafting.
I listen to my favorite songs while I'm making sheep. I don't watch TV because I hate to be distracted by watching.
I'm sure that I will be able to wrap 10 or more next year.
That's why I am strongly telling you not to give up just after a couple months!

The first couple months, I think most of the people who try the crafting quit.
I was not good at crafting at all.
Actually, I hated crafting to be honest with you...
But, here I am! I am a crafting worker! I make some awesome pieces, too!
And also, I've never bought their DVDs. I didn't want to spend money to start working.
Don't worry, I can make it without the DVDs, you probably can, too!

Since I was approved as a sheep crafter, I ordered more projects one by one. Now, I am approved for a total of 5 projects. Then, I can solve the problem of waiting a long time for materials between projects. :)

Actually, they keep me pretty busy. In the beginning, each project made me nuts, but it will be fine as I make more of them. (I'm not planning to add more because 4 or 5 projects are enough to cover the waiting time!)

I still use the same glue gun I bought last year.
Some people buy many brands to find the good quality one, but you really don't need to do that.
Plus, the cost of supplies will be covered by the company. In the forum, you might see some people buy extra supplies to make projects. Each crafter has their own way to make them. I don't buy any extra materials because if the supplies are short, I simply call NEC and they'll send the supplies right away.
You can minimize your costs like me.

I didn't use the forum or call the company to get help for the sheep, but I could make it.
Of course, you can get help from the, they have a great forum, and I like it. They have great customer service, too.
After I started to make sheep, I realized what the people at NEC like or dislike, so the other projects were easier to pass.

It takes time to get used to it.
That's why I wouldn't call it slave labor.

*** Sorry. I tried to keep it short, but it's too long!!
