Everything started when our amazing school announced their upcoming Maker's Market. We decided to take on the challenge of designing and selling custom building brick sets. After all, who doesn't love brick sets? We sure do! It seemed like a fun idea, but we had no idea of some of the challenges we would face.
Have you ever thought about what all goes into designing a brick set? Some of the steps we had to figure out were: how to design and print the boxes, how to create instructions, and where to order all the pieces from. Ordering the pieces gave us a big surprise.
In order to get all the pieces for our sets and stay within our budget, we had to explore ordering from other countries. We were so excited when our first order arrived from Asia…BUT there was a catch. Instead of receiving 50 right arms and 50 left arms, we received only 80 LEFT ARMS! NOOOOOOOOOO!
Thankfully we had enough time to contact our seller and reorder the 50 right arms. After this mishap, everything fell into place but we still had to do a lot of work to complete all the sets. We wanted everything to be perfect for each customer.
We hope everyone who buys a set has as much fun building it as we did making it!
