These little elves are cute and fun to make with a 6-year-old. But the dots for sticking the buttons, for example, don't hold at all. I had to use a hot glue gun. (Given the price of the dots, I wasn't happy.)
Ces lutins sont mignons et agréables à faire avec un enfant de 6 ans. Mais les pastilles pour coller les boutons par exemple ne tiennent pas du tout. J'ai du mettre de la colle au pistolet. (au prix de l'achat des pastilles je n'étais pas ravis.
