The price is reasonable, so we recommend stopping by during a date or trip to create memories just for the two of you.

We will use a special tool to round the metal. This is the most difficult step, but it's fun to watch the bangle gradually take shape. Finally, use a mallet to shape it and it's complete. ④ End/disbandment Although it's all tools that you'll be using for the first time, the staff will support you so you can make it with confidence. After you're done, you can take a commemorative photo in the photo booth in the store. The photo you took will be a gift♪
