Works great. Requires a bit more force than expected. Requires a large storage space. I don't use a three hole punch every day, but this is my third one. The first one was adjustable, allowing for two, four, 3 hole, etc. This is very handy especially for 8 1/2" x 14" documents with two-hole punch at the top. But I rarely use that format. Most of the time I just want a 3 hole punch. Both of my other ones were quite small handling about 50-80 sheets. This one can definitely handle 200 + with no problem. I used it with a number of individual documents stacked together all going into the same notebook. No problem pushing through a bit over 200 pages. The holes came out clean. Not as clean as one of the two of my smaller punches, but good enough. I was surprised at the amount of force I had to use (more than I expected). Nonetheless the long handle makes the job doable. There was no paper debris or mess. The only downside to this one is storage space because it is much larger than my previous ones. In fact the smaller one of my two other punches fits inside this one below the handle. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Chipped and cracked when arrived. I bought one of these at my local glass store and it worked great for a while. I wanted to get another one so I bought one here online! However..when it arrived it had several cracks in the top of the kiln (the black area) and the edges of the circular raised base was chipped and rounded. The one I bought at my local glass store had a very clean raised circular base, not like the one I bought online here which was rounded and chipped as if it was ground down. I just think that this wasn't shipped well and probably won't be buying one of these online again.
Edit: I changed my reviews to 3 stars because I was still able to make the small globs of glass I wanted. It just needs to be packaged better for safer shipping. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Worse than trash. One of the worst purchases I have ever made. I got this at my local Michael's and my overriding urge is to destroy it. The only positive thing I can say about it is the lever that rotates the punch sizes works well. As for the actual corner punching...it cuts inconsistent corners. It almost never cleanly cuts the corner off (I average roughly 25%). Hanging chads are more common here than in Florida. It jams frequently. There is no easy way to clear out the clippings. Keep your scissors handy! You'll need them to trim the half cuts and to try to scrape out the stuck clippings. RUN FROM THIS ITEM!!
i will never purchase another Fiskars product again. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Very happy matched what people say. I'm not much of a sculptor but I wanted to learn more about this material for casting. Here's my experience: when cold, it took some time to mix (gloves are a must) but just keep folding it on a paper plate. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and tried making some basic forms. Tip : A little bowl of water will smooth over anything with your fingers and erase finger prints. The stuff doesn't really hold its own weight much until the end (3 hours) so for example I couldn't make a cube cause it kept melting slightly.. but after a few hours I could. The next day I was astounded! This soft clay had turned into rock, feels like a fossil! Would order again, grest vendor great experience. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great combo, both are very universal. I wish there were more abstract and swirled embossing folders because they are so universal and can be used for all occasions. This set is really fun and can go from a country theme ( the burlap) to a grunge kinda steampunk twist....there are no limits, just your imagination. The swirls I find are perfect for die cut flowers. They make a perfect vine type look and you can place leaves anywhere. It's also a great background for birthday cards.
Both of these embossed wonderfully. I inked the swirls in pink and graduated to purple on the outer parts and it was so cute and pretty at the same time. These particular folders work extremely well with core'dinations papers.
I have found the patterned embossing folders easier to emboss than say something with like a flower or heart in the middle of a blank page, those seem to create unwanted creases no matter what sandwich or shims I use. Good stuff, try them out they are quite nice. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
It Won't Last. It is a great product at first. Very easy to use and mold into what you want. I didn't use this product immediately and sat on it for a few weeks after I purchased it on prime day. Today, the charger I fixed with this product is broken even worse because this stuff snapped right through the Sugru. I did nothing but keep my iPad charging on this all night. I did not try to test the elasticity or wear of the product, I used it for simple charging needs. The picture will show the damage better than I can describe but I am very disappointed. This was on my charger a month and I expected more than a quick fix that would fail so soon. A new charger it is. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
You can foil almost anything with Deco Foil...here's how. I used Therm O Web Deco Foil to enhance my cards and home dcor. It is very easy to work with. It transfers perfectly, if done according to instructions. It can be used in a laminator, or one of the new hot foil machines. You must place the foil "pretty side" up. You can use the "negative" space remaining for another project, by applying with Deco Foil adhesive. You can turn practically ANYTHING into a foiled finish. Scan black cardstock die-cuts of any work dies that you may have. You can also scan Spellbinders dies upside down onto your scanner surface. When printed with a laser printer (toner ink only), Deco foil will adhere beautifully. Your scans of Spellbinders dies, when printed, and foiled, can be further die-cut to reveal openings for stamping, or embellishment placement. Foiled die-cuts can also be embossed! I love this foil. It's a good value price vs. amount of product. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Helpful suggestions. This is a great product and the other reviews focus on its potential uses. I want to offer some suggestions for working with the product. All temps are Fahrenheit.
1) Heat water to at least 150 deg. (I usually heat to 160-170 deg. because the water will cool quickly and the hotter the water, the quicker the product softens. I use an instant temperature probe thermometer to check the temperature and I use long surgical tweezers to remove the Instamorph from the water). The instructions say heat to 140-150 degrees and never above 150 degrees, but that is for safety/liability reasons - stating you could be burned if you try to mold the stuff that is too hot. However, the hotter you get it, the longer the working time, and the hotter the water will be if you need to re-emerge the product. So, work with the hottest water you can handle, but BE CAREFUL!!
2) Mold product in warm/hot water. As others have stated, the product has a short working time. As soon as you remove it from the heated water it starts to cool, and cool/cold hands don't help. So, take a bucket or container just large enough to be able to mold the material with both hands and fill it up with water that is as warm/hot as you can stand, without hurting yourself. Then, after removing the InstaMorph from the heated water, put it in the bucket and mold it there. This will extend the working time of the product considerably, and it won't take as long to bring it back to pliable temp. once the material cools down.
3) If the bucket of water won't work for you, at least warm your hands before working with the softened product. Run warm water over your hands or hold something warm prior to removing the product from the heated water to help extend the working time.
4) Heat the tools or working surface. If you are going to use tools to shape or sculpt the material, put the tools in warm/hot water. Also, if you are using a plate or some other surface that transfers heat as a base for shaping the material, place it in hot water or heat it some other way. Pressing your item against a cool plate to give it a flat surface will cause it to cool and harden quicker. However, if you want to flatten something and have it set quickly, do not use this tip.
5) You can use a hair dryer to soften all or part of the product. You may find that you have created something that is close to what you want, but only the edges need to be changed/softened. Take a hair dryer and using warm or hot air point it at the area you want to change. You will see the area you are heating start to go from white to clear. When the area you want is clear, just shape it how you want. This will allow you to fix part of the item without softening the whole thing, and gives you an alternative when you can't put the Instamorph back in water. Also, this is great for softening rough edges.
6) Inversely, you can use cold water to harden the created item quickly. You might not want to wait for the Instamorph to harden every time you work with it - especially if you are making small changes to the edges repeatedly. If you have the shape you want, and you don't have to worry about exposure to water, simply run cold tap water over your creation and it will harden very quickly.
7) Adding the color chips (sold separately) makes the product harder, and harder to work with, and usually requires using slightly higher temperatures to work with and for softening. However, adding color is advantageous if you are going to be using the created item in an area where the heat comes close to the softening point of uncolored Instamorph because it raises the softening/melting point, and creates a harder overall product.
Like I said, this is great product. Finding ways to extend the molding time just makes it that much easier to work with. I discovered these tips through trial and error. If you know of other ways to help others improve the working time, please comment on this, or post your own review. I hope this has been helpful. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great Set For The Price. This is a nice beginning level kit for clay sculpting, especially for the price. It has 22 tools in all and has most of what you would need to practice with. The tools for carving out the clay work really nicely. The ones for cutting are a bit dull though, and do not cut nicely through the clay. They squash the clay as they slice through, which affects the overall shape of what you are trying to make. I have had to order another tool for cutting. The first time the brush with the wire bristles was used, we lost a lot of the bristles, so I don't think that one will last at all. I did find that the clay really sticks to the wooden handles and takes a little longer to clean up. Maybe a coat of varnish on them would stop this? They do have a comfortable grip to them. The tools were all set into the handles straight, which I was happy with. I think this set would work nicely for wax carving too. This set was purchased specifically for my daughter as a first set, so we could do clay sculpting together. They are great for her for right now, but her next set will need to be a higher quality set. For the price though, you really can't go wrong :) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Ok but not Great. It is a wallet, and it is made of leather, mostly...
Its an alright wallet, however this does not look and feel like one you might find at say a concert or a biker shop. I was buying it to replace the pleather wallet I bought from the mall. The outer portion of this wallet is thick leather, nicely made though the snaps are plain and not like the skull and crossbones embossed snaps in the picture.
However what is really displeasing is the interior of the wallet. Its paper thin and looks like it isn't really made of leather but rather some kind of composite material. It only has one credit card holder and two side pockets made of the same thin material as the rest of the innards of the wallet. Its a nice wallet for the price but it isn't what I am looking for. The whole reason I was replacing the pleather one is so I would have a wallet that would last for quite a while. A real well made leather wallet will last you forever. I just don't feel sure about this one. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Finally A Non-Wrinkle Solution For Collage. Fantastic formula for all things Collage. I had been struggling to find a medium to bond paper to paper without dramatic undesired warping and buckling ensuing - the solution is Yes! paste.
The reason it works so well on papers is it's thickness: unlike other gels and mediums there's a low enough liquid content in Yes! paste yet it's very workable / spreadable / applicable: the consistency of Yes! paste is that of a slightly melted glue stick and best of all you can choose any size brush to apply it.
In my experience so far there's a fantastic amount of time the paste remains workable / adjustable before hardening and providing an excellent strong grip - if you spread it thin and evenly enough you'll be achieving Perfect paper bonds. This is something you'll quickly get a feel for.
Good luck and happy pasting. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
These tiles are definitely glass, not plastic. I saw a couple reviews on here claiming these might be plastic. This made me nervous because my application absolutely requires they are real glass. I ordered them anyway and when they got here I tested them and was relieved to find they are, indeed, real glass. For the benefit of Amazon customers, who may not take my word for it, I also shattered one of the tiles inside a towel and took a photo. Plastic will not shatter like this.
Other than that, the tiles are as advertised. As some of the other reviews have mentioned, there are marks and smudges on some of them, but that's not something that matters to me. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
100% Beeswax...??? Hmmm. I have 100% Beeswax from a beekeeper here in the US. Beeswax is tacky, not sticky. If you rub it between your fingers, some of the wax will remain on your skin and feel just a little bit tacky. These pastilles just do not Feel like beeswax. I wish I could feel confident that they truly Are 100% natural beeswax. My bag has a sticker that says Orange tag beeswax Yellow Organic Pastilles. The sticker UNDER that one gives a model number and manufacture date and the origin as China. The pellets themselves feel like dry wax, no hint of a beeswax tacky feel. No honey smell... but a slight waxy chemical odor. A bee is a bee and they all do the same thing. Honey should be honey, wax may vary by region, but should be easily identifiable as Beeswax, no matter where the bees make it !! Afraid to use these for making things for a person with Soy Allergy. **I should note that in the USA a candle that is only 51% beeswax can legally be labeled and sold as Beeswax... with no telling what the other 49% is. I was trying to be lazy by ordering the pellets... and not have to saw into a pound of tacky wax. However, you get what you pay for. Back to the Beekeeper and his Beeswax I go.... | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Good Vinyl, Bad Packaging - Hinders Use. The vinyl is percect, accurate color and brand. THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE WAY YHE VINYL IS ROLLED! Please see my pictures if you're interested.
VinylHop, Please stop rolling your vinyl BACKWARDS. It makes it impossible to use in the machine without having to sit and hold it from curling. The curling affects the way the blade moves across the vinyl.
I have to unroll the vinyl and roll it the correct way. Its time consuming, annoying, and uncessecary to have to unroll 10 feet of vinyl because the seller rolls it backwards.
I don't know if it is rolled this way due to all the conplaints of the barcode sticker being on the vinyl and leaving residue, but it's not a solution. Put masking tape to hold the vinyl together (which is what came on mine). It doesn't leave residue. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Incredibly handy. After an accident with my flexible shaft drill, I realized I needed something that wouldn't spin as fast for drilling small plastic items for beads. A friend of mine suggested the Fiskars Craft Drill.
Quick vocabulary list if you haven't used drills before, the handle is the part you turn. The chuck is the part of the drill you put the bit in, it's like a collar holding an X shape, you tighten the collar around the X to hold in the bit, or loosen the collar to release the bit. The bit is the part that drills.
The obvious limitations are that's is a craft drill with a plastic body, it's not meant to drill metal, or anything really serious, but for paper, plastic and that sort of thing, it's wonderful. You have control over speed, since it's manually powered, children can use it with supervision, and it's quiet. Remember to always using something you don't mind marking behind whatever you're drilling. Old phone books work well for me.
The bits it comes with are a little big for the fine drilling I wanted to do, but after I got it home and out of the package, I couldn't wait to try it. Changing the bit is easy. Hold the handle still while you twist the chuck open, slip in the bit, then turn the chuck to close. No chuck keys or anything like that, you do have to make sure it's tightened as far as you can tighten it by hand. I drilled some Halloween skulls into big beads to put on a dice pouch I knitted my son.
The skulls are plastic and hollow, and the sort of thing my flexible shaft could have melted if I wasn't paying attention.
I needed smaller bits, and I wasn't sure if it would work with bits that were a lot finer. I got a small pack of 10 sizes including a 1/16th and 5/64th bit. They worked fine once I tightened the chuck up enough.
This works great with soft woods, chip board, and most plastics including resin. It's quick and easy to use. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Plenty for My Extensive Needs. I bought this paper because we were throwing a cardboard box themed party for my toddler son. I wanted to "wrap" one of our walls so that guests and kiddos alike could color on it and leave him notes. It worked perfectly, and everyone absolutely loved scribbling on the wall (appeals to the toddler in us all, I guess). I also used this paper to wrap a table and some boxes. It's a high-quality, thick paper, and there was more than enough to go around, even after covering a wall with it. I'll have plenty for years to come. Great stuff, and loved the length. Very easy to work with (please don't judge my shoddy chop job on the edges--I was in a hurry to finish before the party. It's not indicative of the quality of the paper!). | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Beautiful Stencil. packaging was, however, a different story. The stencil deserves a full 5 stars, I subtracted one point due to the careless packaging of the stencil (packaging actually deserves no star at all). The stencil was simply shoved into an oversized bubble-padded envelope approx. 15" by 12", while the stencil itself measures only 5 1/2" x 2" and with no supporting backing like a piece of cardboard to protect the stencil during shipment. As a result it arrived completely bent and only after my husband carefully placed it in a vice did it straighten somewhat - however it is still too bent to be used for embossing with paste, which was the intended use. This is not the first incident of this kind. I absolutely love Dreamweaver stencils due to their unique designs and high quality metal. The packaging for shipment, however, is an absolute and recurring nightmare. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
One banana away from a full bunch. The price for this "log" of vinyl is highly competitive. The only complaint I have is that the 070M that was included shows Oracal 631 on the release paper, NOT Oracal 651. The most apparent remedy -- returning the entire log because 1 out of 63 sheets was the wrong product ... and hoping that the replacement log WON'T have the same error -- seems drastically more tedious than the much easier choice of deducting 1 star from my rating. I would rather keep the CORRECT 62 colors on hand for orders and shop local high volume cutters for their 070M-651 scraps, than have my access to 62 correct colors DELAYED by returning this log, receiving a new log, possibly having to return a second time, etc. etc. etc. If I hadn't read other reviews mentioning this exact same error, I would have just not left any review at all, thinking that I simply received a one-off error, but since this looks more like a batch error, I can't overlook it. Close, but no banana. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Middling adhesive, very thin. I was disappointed by this duct tape - I expected more from Scotch. I'm giving it three stars purely because it does sort of stick to things, and it does serve the primary purpose for which I bought it - marking luggage so it's more easily identified as belonging to my family when we're at the baggage carousel.
However, I also tried using it to actually attempt to secure items to something, and it (a) was difficult to tear properly, as it kept curling in on itself, (b) was very thin (I'm used to duct tape being sturdier), and (c) didn't adhere well - it had a tendency to come "unstuck", often at times even from itself when wrapped around something.
If you're getting this as an identifying tape of for some other decorative purpose, it's fine. Marking luggage, or binders, or whatever is a suitable use. But if you are looking for duct tape that can be decorative but also can actually serve as at least some semblance of "real" duct tape, I'd look elsewhere. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Does what its supposed to do. I am a newbie to this craft stuff. I got a Silhouette Cameo 3 recently and was having a hell of a time getting the vinyl to transfer. After reading online, I realized I was missing an important component transfer tape! I went to Amazon like I do for everything in life and saw this was a top seller with excellent reviews; could thousands of people be wrong? Turns out, they are right, this stuff is the real deal and will make your vinyl transferring life MUCH easier. Ive used it dozens of times in the past week and it is exactly what I needed for quick crafting. The only trouble I encountered was when I used Cricut glitter vinyl it didn't hold as well as the matte and glossy vinyl did, but I realized that is an issue with many brands. Even the Cricut branded strong transfer tape that came with the glitter vinyl didn't hold well, so its definitely a tricky vinyl to work with and doesnt reflect poorly upon the transfer tape. It just needs a little extra patience to get it done.
If you're reading this and on the fence, do yourself a favor and click the buy it now. Youll be crafting in no time! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great Start for Candlemakers. Microwaveable Soy Wax sounds like a great idea, and it certainly is a perfect way to get started with candlemaking. You get a 1 pound container of soy wax chips. You simply toss some into the microwave, melt it down, and then pour the wax into a candle-safe container with a wick. Voila, it hardens, and you have a candle.
You can get the kit for $6 and from that you make about 3 medium sized candles. By default these candles have no odor and are milky white in color. You can add candle coloring and candle aroma to them easily enough. I only had soap coloring on me when I tested this out, and those didn't work at all :) So make sure you do use a candle color system. The soap coloring, which is liquid, just stayed suspended as tiny little balls and never affected the color of the liquid. I thought I might get a "dots of color" effect, but since the candle cools to a solid milky white, they became invisible.
So, the process. You start with a bag of chips. It looks like a lot, but really this melts down into a very small amount of liquid.
It only takes a minute or two, in a tupperware container, in the microwave to have this melting happen. I would set aside a tupperware just for candlemaking, rather than trying to clean the wax off of it to use it for food again. Once the wax is fully melted, it is a clear, yellowish liquid. You pour this into a candle-safe container, usually glass, but of course you can use pottery or other containers as you wish.
Since the resulting candle is not translucent, your options for decorating are generally restricted to colors - or creating layers by making one color from part of the chips, then another from another set of chips, and pouring them in one at a time. You could ask if it's really worth it to pay $6 to create 3 candles, since you could buy them more cheaply, but really this is a great "practice kit". You learn how candlemaking works, and start to hone your artistic talents in an easy manner. The results make great gifts.
Well recommended for someone interested in how candle making works. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
For the passionate only. Love Moleskine - but this version is kinda blah. There are a few pages that have good references on them - like 2 pages of calorie tables. Then there are the customized sections that allow you to put things that you like about a particular workout or plan, etc.
The problem with it is that it has to do better than just a plain old notebook or a plain Moleskine to be worth the purchase. You simply can't change this into another type of book.
For this reason - I would just stick to a regular old Moleskine for any and all of these "passions" series. The option to draw something or put in another note of a different type is simply worth more than the rigid attempt to keep you going in this (or any other) format.
The option is what keep notebooks and the Moleskine brand so high on my list. The option to put a random thought or a random picture in the book at any time is what makes this so great.
In my opinion they have put you into a "corner" with these passions books - and while they seem like a good idea, they kinda ruin the fun. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Made a countertop just like the one at my favorite pub. Famowood Clear Coat allowed my to make a bar in my basement that has the same gloss high impact surface as the bar at my favorite pub. The "self-leveling" feature reminds me of painting car models when I was a kid. There was a certain deftness of hand that could be used to get Testor's gloss enamel to lay down flat with only a brush. This product benefits from a similar touch to get a super-smooth finish with incredible depth.
Also, RTM! Use this product at 70 degrees F or greater. You MUST use EXACT equal measurements of the resin and hardener, or it isn't going to harden. Period. Some of the bad reviews I've read here could probably have been rectified by spending a few additional minutes reading and following directions.
I am super happy with the results I received. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great... until it gets wet. This product is utterly terrible. The only way to actually mold the soap or play with the tools is to make sure the soap is not in the least bit wet. Great product if you want to have your children play with the SOAP in a dry tub. But wait! That would be just like play doh then wouldn't it? As soon as this "moldable" soap gets wet it becomes a big slimy and sticky mess. You can't do anything other than try and scrape it off your hands, your children, the toys, and the tub. Oh yeah, and it sinks to the bottom and gets stuck - then proceeds to STAIN the tub. Okay, so being unable to bring myself to actually throw away the crappy soap I think maybe I'll just use it. It doesn't lather - not in the least. And did I mention that it's slimy and sticky? All in all, it's a terrible product. You and your children would probably be happier using Play Doh in the bathtub. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Bleeds terribly, arrived warped and bent. I have purchased larger sizes of Bee paper and have enjoyed them, but this batch arrived at my door warped and bent, packaged loosely in a cardboard box with no protection. In addition, when I did try and use the paper the ink bled so badly that I can't imagine any wet-meduim or ink artist being able to get any use out of this board whatsoever.
Perhaps it was a bad batch, as I LOVE the 11x14 bee paper and haven't experienced it bleeding, but this paper would be unusable even if the shipper hadn't destroyed it in transit. Boooo.
I give 2 stars instead of 1 because, I don't know, maybe it was a fluke, or something. But maybe not. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Everything you need to explore leather crafting. I just decided to get into leather working and I wanted something that would be a budget friendly way to explore this craft. This product is $89.99 without a CLUB price on the Tandy Leather website, I paid $79.99 with free shipping here on Amazon. I've noticed the price has changed since I ordered less than a week ago, and that seems to be a common theme given the reviews.
Since it's not spelled out anywhere here's what is included:
6 projects (includes all lacing, buckles and fasteners needed to complete them)
Cellphone case (will fit an iPhone 5c with LifeProof case) I haven't try my 6 yet.
Belt- I didn't measure but my husband wears a 36 and there was plenty of extra length.
Key fob
Bill fold
Coasters (2)
Coin purse
Super Sheene Finish
Bison Brown dye
Paint brush
7 stamping tools and 1 swivel knife
-small pear shader
-medium pear shader
-veining tool
-camouflage tool
-single seeder
-beveling stamp
-basket-weave stamp
2 sponges
Jeweler's rouge
Leather strap
Hole punch
Mallet
Tracing vellum
Detailed instruction book with patterns
My thoughts:
I'm brand new to this so my word isn't law, but the leather seems to be of a good quality. I didn't notice any obvious blemishes and it was easy to work with.
The swivel knife requires quite a bit of strapping to get it to not drag, which I expected with a new blade. It's a little small, so if you have larger hands it might not be comfortable for you. I'm female, my hands aren't tiny but not as large as a man's and I think if I'm going to stick with this craft I will need to invest in an adjustable barrel knife.
I was really impressed with the shipping. It was not Prime, I was given a 7-14 day estimate, and it came a day before my Prime shipped item that was ordered at the same time. Ordered Friday am, received Monday afternoon.
Everything easily repackages into the box it came in which is nice for storage.
The patterns are super simple and allow you to get a feel for each of the tools provided. I am a rebel and hate simple so I made my own design; and as a first project it was a little challenging, especially figuring out the swivel knife. So if you're not brave start with the provided patterns.
I think this a great kit for someone just starting out. It's enough projects to give you a feel for the craft without breaking the bank. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great glue gun. Quality of life features make it really handy. Great glue gun. This is actually one of the most user-friendly glue guns I have used. I and my brother are somewhat crafty people, and we use glue guns quite often. We both agree that this glue gun includes a few key features that make it simple and nice to use.
PROS:
- Nice wide trigger and comfortable grip. One of the most annoying things on a glue gun is a tiny little uncomfortable trigger. When you are using a glue gun for an hour or two at a time, having a comfortable trigger is essential. This trigger is large and provides excellent control for glue amount as well.
- Power switch and LED. Another nice feature is the power button and LED. It's nice to not have to reach down under the desk every time I pause construction to turn this gun off - we can leave it in the workshop, plugged in and ready at the flick of a switch for use.
- Fine tip and fine stream - so useful for delicate projects, yet still has the ability to put out a lot of glue if you need it.
- TONS of extra gluesticks. Great deal for the price as this much glue would also cost you a few bucks at the craft store. As well, this gun doesn't use any of the harder to find diameters of glue sticks, which makes the sticks easier to find. Bonus.
- The stand and construction are nice. They won't hold up to hard use, sure, but I sure hope you aren't throwing this around anyways. It's a delicate use tool. The stand folds up nicely for storage. The cable is long and I have plenty of reach even when it's plugged in under the workshop.
CONS:
Only thing I can think of is the gun LOOKS like it's not sturdily constructed - the plastic doesn't look like it's super strong. BUT, when held, you can tell that it is screwed together pretty good and it's won't go anywhere during normal use.
OVERALL:
Great glue gun. Quality of life features make it really handy. Lots of extra glue. Pretty cheap too! Great deal if you're looking for a hot glue gun on Amazon. Prime shipping too :)

Talk about heavy duty. The wooden dispenser in heavy duty! this could easily endure a classroom full of kids without being damaged, and thats saying something! This is not something you could just easily throw on a desk anywhere. its size demands its own spot in your craft area, so this could be a problem for some people who do not have a lot of room to spare. I have thoroughly enjoyed the tape as i used all the colors to tape balloons to the walls for a birthday party, as well as streamers. the wonderfully bright color looked as though they were meant for the party. added some more pizzazz that normal tape just would not have been able to do. my crafting monster daughter has also found lovely things to do with the tape. overall its a hit in this house! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Meh. Nice idea, bad execution. I use these for my clay figurines.
Pros:
They can bake in the oven without melting (temp for polymer clay)
You get a lot of them
Nice storage case
Cons:
Some of the colors are so similar you might as well say there are only 3 different colors as opposed to 6
They're not all the same size
The pupils on them aren't the same size or even in the same position. Finding two that are similar (so your figurine doesn't have googly eyes) is like finding a needle in a haystack
Not all of the posts are straight
Overall I would not buy these again. I get the price is nice, but it's not worth it if there is no quality control. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Good for the Price. These Stanley general purpose scissors are pretty decent, especially for the price. They are designed to be ergonomic while not being made specifically for either right or left handed people. So whatever hand you prefer to use, you should be able to use these relatively comfortably although they're not quite as comfortable as scissors that are made for either a left-handed or a right-handed person. My hands fit easily while my husbands extra-large glove size hands can still fit three fingers and thumb but only just.
They work well on plastics and paper and when they're new at least, are very sharp. They have adjustable tension. Out of the box they are have tension and very smooth to the point that they actually feel a bit cheap. But it does make them very easy to use.
The photo shows a grey square labeled adjustable blade tension. But the supplied images don't really explain that on the opposite side is a large flat head screw that is used to adjust the tension. You can move the screw 90 degrees to change the adjustment to adjust it for either comfort or the kind of material you are trying to cut.
For the price, these are very good. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Very cute. Perfect for attaching to gifts. I love having blank tags on hand for attaching to gifts, or goodie bags. These paper tags have a cute heart cut out at the bottom center, which adds a nice touch. Also included, are 20 meters of jute twine. Simple, cute and effective. Here are some of my favorite ways to use these:
Attach to homemade treats like bags of cookies, brownies, homemade bread....
Birthday present tags
Christmas
Teacher Presents
Wedding Favors
Clothing Tags
Love Notes
Scrapbooking
These tags shipped quickly, and look just like they were advertised. I'm so excited to have these on hand, and will be using these a lot. You can also personalize these by embossing them, stamping on them, or writing on them with sharpies or colored gel pens.
I did have the opportunity to purchase these at a discount during a promotion. I am pleased with the quality and quantity. They are very cute and useful. I would order them again! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Thinner than some construction paper and colors more muted. Having 'creative' grandchildren I ordered this so that they would have more construction paper to use as they almost had run out. The front of the pad states that the assorted colors are ideal for cutting, gluing, folding and projects. First the colors are nice--there are nine colors (36 sheets worth) and they are more muted than many packs of construction paper. I happen to like this aspect of the coloring, but the kids wanted a redder red, blacker black, bluer blue etc. for their projects. My biggest issue with this pack of paper is the paper is very thin. In fact a magic marker bled through the lighter green sheets. Other than that--it is construction paper! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Absolutely fantastic basic hot glue gun. Let me be very clear here -- I am not the crafty type. Never have, probably never will be.
With that being said, a project came up where using a hot glue gun was going to be the best plan of attack. Knowing this was probably going to be a one-and-done project for me, spending a ton of money on a glue gun felt stupid. So, I did some homework and decided to get this CCbetter gun.
To-date, I have used this glue gun on a double-digit number of projects/household fixes. While clearly a very basic/plastic tool, this thing just continues to impress me. I've done some electronics projects, fixed kids clothes, repaired shoes and several other things I may have had to resort to using superglue on.
For the bargain-basement price of this glue gun, I don't think you can go wrong unless you are expecting something heavy-duty. For the basic crafter/home DIYer, this is an absolutely perfect fit. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Pretty good then Went from 4 to 3 stars. It has worked well for a purse I had to repair a rip in. The color is darker than I thought it would be, which is ok. I'm more concerned with it holding up and after a few weeks of using the purse, the tape has. Thankfully, it's on the back of the purse where most people won't see it but if they did/do, they wouldn't think much of it.
They only thing I found frustrating is that it has some slight wrinkles in it. I tried very hard to start from the center out as indicated in the instructions and it was hard to do. Perhaps if I'd had someone to help me, it would have less wrinkles.
I would buy this again.
UPDATE:
I had dropped this from 4 to 3 stars after using it for several months on my purse. I would not buy this again for something that is used a lot. It has started to fray on the edges and looks sloppy now. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
I am so glad I decided to buy this pack of tapes - . I am so glad I decided to buy this pack of tapes - I love them! I was afraid they were going to be of poor quality but there was absolutely no need to worry about that. The picture does not do them justice; they really do look much better in real life. I use them for my Erin Condren planner and now it looks so elegant - yay!

Excellent Value for Multipurpose Scissors that Easily Cut Through Chicken, Fabric, or Paper. For the price, these scissors are a very good bargain. We have had a pair of CutCo scissors for about a decade and ever since, no other scissors have been satisfying. But for about a tenth of the price, you can get these Stanley Piranha scissors which work excellently for most all uses. They are not as strong as Cutco, but much stronger and more durable than any others we have tried except. Over the last month we have found these scissors to be perfect for at least the following uses:
-Cutting chicken breast
-Cutting fabric (the ruler on the scissors is great for these)
-Cutting paper, even pretty thick ones.
Cutco scissors have no problem cutting thin wire; just forfun I tested the Piranhas on some copper wire. They got through, but are definitely not designed for this purpose.
For the price, these are incredible scissors. I have not used any scissors in the price range that are as strong, durable, or multi-purpose as these. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Multiple Use Kite Reel Also For Human/Animal Route Tracking and Fishing, But Much Better Models Suggested In This Review. This is a small kite reel with a handle for childrens' hands, with multiple ball bearings which give the reel ONLY a semi-smooth feel but which also doesn't sound smooth. This reel is thus cheaply made, but is sufficient for light-weight kite flying use and is inexpensive ($ 13.00).
I actually bought this reel for multiple functions,in addition to kite flying. Firstly, every year many people get lost, including MSc students performing their projects, in remote areas of the Amazon Basin as well as in other jungles/rain forests! N.B. GPS DOES NOT WORK IN THE DENSE RAINFOREST! Traditionally, people find their directions in such conditions by foot using a compass and step counter/pedometer but if you really want to ensure returning to your boat after trekking a long way from the river, this is the best way to do it. You can also track many different types of animals using long lines from kite reels (see below) and also use such line for fishing!
IMPORTANTLY, BUYING A HIGH CAPACITY AND QUALITY FISHING REEL WITH THE HIGH QUALITY BRAIDED FISHING LINE WOULD BE FAR TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS I WANT FROM THIS REEL!!
You can also shoot the line using a bow and arrow or weighted item over a high bow of a tree to pull up another climbing line to scale a tree.
THUS, I CAN THINK OF MANY, MANY USES FOR A KITE REEL WITH LINE!
I bought this niceEshop reel which is suitable for all of the above tasks using brightly colored braided dymenna (100% PE) line and could load it with 1000 yds of light line. Since I do not need it for kite flying, I use superpower (red or yellow) braid line of 25-30 lb in lengths of 1000-2000 yards from ePoseidon or Shake Whale via Amazon(see below).
Because of the limited length of line which the niceEshop reel can hold and its relatively cheap construction, I have obtained larger and professional kite reels for this purpose which come in a range of sizes from:
www. Aliexpress.com.
N.B. Once inside this web site put a search for 'kite reels' to obtain their very large selection. There are many pages of kite reels to choose from from this web site and the prices are coveniently in US $ with free shipping! I didn't experience any problems obtaining the 11" (28 cm) reel from China and it was worth the wait since I have not seen a similarly large and well-constructed kite reel made in the west (see a photo and description of a smaller model of the same type of reel available from Amazon (see below)!
My favorite is the 11" (28 cm) white and strong polypropylene reels with six very solid and smooth roller bearings, a much larger (adult-sized) grip, a lock, and on which I have loaded with 5,000 yards (approximately 5,000 meters) of 25 pound dymenna (red and yellow) braided line obtained via Amazon from Tri-Poseidon or Shake Whale in lengths of 1,000 or 2,000 yards.
Obviously, for large kites in high winds you will need 100 lb (dymeena) line which the 11" (28 cm) reel will probably hold up to 2000 meters, but for tracking and fishing, 25-30 lb line is adequate!
You can see the same type of construction on Amazon in a smaller reel but which is only $ 20.00 compared to the $ 13.00 NiceEShop reel but is much better constructed:
<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Weifang-New-Sky-Kite-Professional-Reel-Winder-with-Horizon-Line/dp/B00P4OKIK4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Weifang New Sky Kite Professional Reel Winder with Horizon Line</a>
If you are looking for a better 9" kite reel than the niceEshop reel, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU INSTEAD BUY THIS BETTER CONSTRUCTED, MORE ELEGANT, AND ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE KITE REEL!!!
You can get the long length dymenna lines in 8 to 100 lb breaking strains, but I use 25-30 lb colored line for tracking/fishing, but you may wish to add a monofilament tippet or wire tracer (for fish with teeth which can cut line) for fishing.

Suggested very light thin (30 lb dymenna braided) lines for human/animal route tracking and fishing using kite reels:
Tri-Poseidon 1093 yds multicolor, red, yellow, etc. 30 lb line:
<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tri-Poseidon-1000m-1093-yard-fishing-line-braided-30-lb/dp/B00FON03KK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tri-Poseidon 1000m (1093 yard) fishing line braided 30 lb</a>

As such, we now have reels which can prevent people unnecessarily getting lost in jungle and also being able to track animals and use for a fishing kite (a kite which has a buoy/float on the water which trails multiple baited fishing hooks: a very efficient survival fishing method)!
In conclusion, I rate the niceEshop kite reel as a 4 star product for my multiple uses, but rate it as a 3 star product kite reel, since there are much better kite reels available.

Great hooks, poor rivets. Bought these because the plastic speed hooks broke on my work boots. After reading the reviews regarding the rivets on this kit, I decided not to use them. Instead I bought a pop riveter listed below and used that with the rivets that came supplied with it--it's not the prettiest solution, but my boots live to fight another day. The hooks were great, only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the rivets that came with the hooks.

Cute little tapes. YazyCraft provides the best craft items in the market. These paper tapes are gorgeous. They were very well packaged. They come in three different colors and each tape comes in different pattern. Red and the blue tapes are of same size. The green one is slightly larger. All of them works great. The stickiness is really good. It sticks well to all surfaces. You can easily tear it at the length you need. It comes off easily and completely. The tape can be reused multiple times. Its a great buy for both beginners and experts. Kids will definitely love it and find it easy to use.
The colors are not too bright. I will definitely recommend these tapes.
I got these for a discounted price in exchange of honest review. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great delicate origami paper. This is a pretty nice value for advanced origami users, or for a lot of crafts.
The paper is very light and thin, and this poses a challenge to work with as it folds so easily. If you're an experienced origami, it's actually easier to work with than thicker paper, but it is a bit unforgiving. The paper comes in three sizes (most being pretty small, 3.5 inch square), and a few metallic squares are included. It's a great price for this much variety. There's something vaguely exotic about this set if you're used to conventional paper.
Skip the included and tiny project instructions and go straight to Youtube for the how-tos. I had a lot of fun with these! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Best liquid glue for scrapbooking and card making. I prefer dry adhesive, but it is just impossible to use for the little bits and pieces. I used to work at a scrapbook specialty store and we always recommended that people avoid liquid adhesives when working with anything lighter-weight than cardstock, since wet adhesive, by its nature, wrinkles paper and photos. But I have been looking for a liquid adhesive for cardstock that does not wrinkle or mess up my cardstock and that doesn't show if I have to move the piece around a bit to get it in the right place after gluing--most of them dry "clear," but they also dry really shiny and look messy if any is showing when it dries.
I have tried Scotch "Scrapbooker's" Glue, but it gets all over the place--too liquidy, though it looks like a gel. I have tried Scotch Quick-Dry adhesive, but it gets all over the place and wrinkles or warps the cardstock. I have tried the Zig two-way glue and it doesn't hold well at all, and it dries way too fast--before I get the pieces in place, making it a "temporary bond" rather than giving me the option for a permanent bond like it's supposed to. Not helpful.
This glue gel with the sponge tip applicator is really nice because it's thicker, so I have more control over it. It has worked really well with all the cardstock I have tried it on--doesn't wrinkle and holds well (at least so far), and I am probably the only one who notices when I get a little "outside the lines" because it dries less shiny than any of the other glue adhesives I've tried. I also have had a lot of success rubbing the excess glue off if I need to. For the tiny little pieces cut from my Cricut, I dab a little of this glue gel onto scrap paper, grab the tiny piece of cardstock with my Tweezerbees, and dab it in the glue, then put the piece in place. It has been working really well so far, and I've been using this for a couple months now. A little goes a long way, and too much liquid adhesive will make any kind of paper/cardstock wrinkle, so you do want to be careful of how much you're using, but that just makes it last longer anyway. I do wish it had a precision tip on one end and the sponge tip on the other, but I think the same stuff comes in a precision-tip bottle, so I'll probably just try to have both on hand.
Very happy with this product--hope they never stop making it! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
One of those little gizmos you didn't know you needed. This is one of those little gizmos you don't know you need until you have it. Well, you probably don't actually "need" this, but it's really a handy thing.
This is a special-purpose cutter. It's not designed for heavy duty; rather, it's intended to cleanly and easily slice coupons, articles, etc., out of magazines and newspapers. For that purpose, it works MUCH better-- meaning quicker and cleaner-- than a pair of scissors, a razor blade, an Xacto knife, etc. It takes a little practice to learn how much pressure to apply, but once you have it down, you can easily cut out something without damaging the page underneath.
In addition, the cutter blade seems safe. I'm not willing to run it hard across my fingers to see what happens, but I can run a finger lightly across the little ceramic "blade" without it seeming dangerous.
I think this cutter is a real bargain. It fits its niche perfectly. It won't do any heavy-duty cutting, but it's not designed for that. I'd buy another one of these right away if I lost the one I have. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Variety of Colors & Price get stars, Quality does not. I didn't buy this on Amazon but after buying it in the store, I came here to read reviews on which brand of construction paper is better. I was so disappointed in this product though, I had to come share.
+2 Stars: To be fair, the price is worth more than 1 star - 240 sheets for less than 5 dollars is a deal for a mom on a budget who is frequently having to buy construction paper for 3 little girls. At the moment, Amazon has it listed for $3.74 which is even cheaper than what I got it for in store.
+1 Star: At that price, I also had to give one more star for the variety of colors provided. With 10 colors, including black and white, it pretty much covers everything so the girls can complete a project without needing to use markers/crayons to compensate for missing colors (and I don't have to listen to complaining about it either so plus for mom!)
-1 Star: I deducted a star because this paper is extremely thin, and I was very disappointed. I had never bought Crayola construction paper in the past, for no other reason than I buy what's accessible and I live in a very small town so our local stores never carried this big pack. I actually bought it at Walmart on a trip into the city which doesn't happen often...But in the past 2 years, where I have bought at least 15 packs of colored paper, few different brands I'm sure though never paid attention to, I have never taken out the first piece of paper and instantly took note of it being thin. Since it's plastic wrapped and not a pad, you can't feel and examine the paper before you buy it. The fact I don't remember the other brands of paper I have bought shows that I didn't need to. I bought them, they were exactly what I was expecting, there was no need for a second thought, it was a winning buy. This Crayola paper though, is so thin that it's terrible for cutting. It doesn't hold up very well and constantly droops over and the scissors slide too easily, making it difficult for little ones to cut nicely.
Also, when pasting a cut out from one piece onto another, it's almost like glueing printer paper on top of printer paper. Now, maybe it's just me...but the thing I love most about building pictures out of construction paper as opposed to drawing/coloring a picture is that bit of a '3d effect' you get from the layers of construction paper on top of one another. You really don't get that effect with this paper, and the projects look rather flat instead of having that extra pop.
-1 Star: I also had to deduct a star for the quality of the colors. While I like the assortment of colors, they are not vibrant at all and when I look at them I think "washed out". It's sad when you hang newly made projects up on the wall and they look like they've already been there a few months. Majority of the shades are lighter than they should be so even when layered, they just look bland. The colors included are: green, white, blue, light pink, black, yellow, orange, purple, brown, and red. Yellow is the only one I can't complain about. Light Pink and Purple(though lighter and closer to lavender) are decent. Blue, Orange, Red, Green, and Black(especially) however are just dull, faded shades of the real thing. White is the worst in my opinion because it is even thinner than the others! No way could you call it construction paper. I, and even the girls, prefer the crispness of printer paper and all the white pages from this pack are now in the scratch paper pile and used for homework.
*The only positive thing I could think to say about the colors are that if you want to draw on the construction paper with colored pencils or crayons, it'll show better. We don't use it for that reason though so this is not something we can really benefit from.
With a brand like Crayola, I wasn't expecting to be as let down as I was. Yes, I got a great deal. Yes, there are enough colors to keep the kids happy. And though I usually don't complain about quality when an item is so cheap, I kind of assumed construction paper by a name brand company was a no brainer. I have purchased a lot of different types of Crayola products over the years, always satisfied, I love how they have so many different neat things for kids, but all I could say to this product was, "Really Crayola? Really?"
I bought a pad of glitter construction paper from the dollar store of all places, made by Riverside Paper Company, and the quality is beyond better than Crayola. Again..the dollar store. It only came with 5 colors though so I guess Crayola gets that 1 up. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
This traditional sizing is excellent for prepping and tightening canvas. The purpose of rabbit skin glue (RSG) is as a sizing for canvas before final preparation with lead ground. It's important to coat the linen or cotton canvas fibers with either RSG or PVA sizing in order to protect it from the linolenic acid that is present in the linseed oil in many oil paints and mediums. Without this protection, the linolenic acid breaks down the fibers over time. Another valuable benefit of the rabbit skin glue is that, unlike other sizing products, it does a great job of tightening your canvas. It makes a stretched canvas even more taut.
If you haven't used rabbit skin glue before, this product is in a powdery/granular form. To activate it, you measure out your required amount and soak overnight in water (directions are included to give guidance as to ratio of powder to water). After soaking, you heat gently over a double boiler in order to melt the glue particles in the water. When glue granules are completely dissolved, you brush it warm over your stretched canvas. I've also used it on canvas that's been adhered to solid panels. I realize that it sounds labor-intensive to use this traditional method for sizing; but it actually isn't too bad. I generally do a bunch of painting surfaces at a time rather than doing them individually. The only downside that I see is that RSG is considered hygroscopic which means that it absorbs moisture from its environment, continually swelling and then shrinking. My thought is that this is a minimal issue so long as paintings are kept in climate-controlled environments.
While I generally find that Amazon has a better price on most things than anywhere else, in this case I have a couple of local art supply stores who stock this product at a lower price...plus there's not the high shipping cost required from third party sellers. I'm still hoping that Gamblin's Rabbit Skin Glue will eventually be available from Amazon Prime. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Use it before it dries out. I purchased mine from another source, and I have to admit that my '5 Second Fix' was almost 9 months old, but it was still in the sealed plastic container that it arrived in. At the time it looked like a handy thing to have on hand so I ordered one. Had no use for it until today when I tried to repair a broken plastic exterior service access to my RV refrigerator. I opened the molded plastic container to gain access to the 'Fix'er and found that evidently it had dried out during the 9 months it sat on my shelf. The videos show the resin coming out nice and thick, but after squeezing mine with both hands I rubbed the fuzzy tip with my finger and felt only a VERY slight touch of anything other than brush. The manufacturer should provide a "Use Before" date if the product dries out like thatl | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |

However, the leather cover came damaged with three pieces peeling off on the back. The leather cord came damaged as well. The leather cover itself is thin with a totebag type fabric as its backing.

I am very disappointed with this product and do not recommend it for anyone. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
They work, just use them the right way. After a 2nd go around with these I found that they work extremely well! I microwave water in a small glass bowl for 35 seconds and use a laser thermometer to range the waters temp. It's usually around 165 degrees, I add the pellets and let sit for 2 mins 30 seconds. I then take the pellets out and mold them or knead them, if they harden up too soon I place them back in the water for 20 seconds. 150-165 degrees is the key, any hotter and it gets too hard, any lower and they don't meld.
So far just playing around I managed to make several types and sizes of vampire fangs for my kiddos and I made a mouth guard for my teeth. I'm always grinding them when I sleep and I lost my last guard. Dentist wanted $600, no way! This plastic guard does the job just as good and was pennies! Attached are pictures, keep in mind they were taken with only 5 minutes of experience with these pellets. I have gotten much better in creating with them. If I could do it so could you!! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
OK, but requires modification to work as advertised. <div id="video-block-R1NVHHXVCLKZKJ" class="a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-mini video-block"></div><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1Ej6Z26bVS.mp4" class="video-url"><input type="hidden" name="" value="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91-OVWjOC5S.png" class="video-slate-img-url"> Laser works well. Software isn't very intuitive, but we expected that and worked through it.
Exhaust fan was obviously broken during assembly, but we fixed it faster & easier than returning the whole machine.
Out of the box, this is NOT a 12x8 laser! #1 reason I bought this machine was to do 5.5 x 7.5 plaques, and the device required modification to go that big. The part holding jig is limited to about 8 x 3.5 and must be completely removed, and the exhaust inlet trimmed to reach the full capacity of this system.
Distance between the part surface and the laser head is critical, so you can't just put your part on top of the holding jig. We use spacers underneath our parts to bring them up to the focus point, but the bottom of the case is floppy and requires reinforcement to use this method.
The attached sample is 5.5 x 7.5 (obviously the etched area is smaller). We run at 150mm/sec and about 5mA. This takes about 40 minutes to run. The 22 second video is really about 22 minutes. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
MiIsleading listing photo - Not dense on glitter at all. Quick drying laquer, light on microscopic holographic-glitter. I am posting 2 pictures of coloring book paper I used this on hoping for major holographic sparkle........can you see it??
Yeah, neither can I. And that is with 2 layers of the gel on bubbles reflections, and 2 layers on the Purple beads necklace.
Worst of all, the picture on the listing is SUPER MISLEADING. There is nowhere near the density of glitter as advertised in photo. Seller was kind enough to fully refund, but this was a huge miss on product. If you want a clear lacquer with microscopic here-and-there holographic glitter: Here's your item. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Would be the perfect bag if not for the chemical/plastic smell. The bag itself is wonderful. I love the pockets, the separators, how adjustable the strap is, it's been a great bag for carrying all of my business paperwork. I use a lot of journals, markers, papers, scissors, tape, etc. to write mind maps and think out plans. This bag carries them all with plenty of room for more and I couldn't find it more convenient. The reason that I give it only three stars is that it has such a strong plastic chemical smell (likely from the dividers inside) that I can't leave it out but have to keep it wrapped up in other bags when at home to keep the smell from making me ill. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Hard to use. I have been doing some face painting for a while and am looking for a more affordable option than diamond fx face paint. I used the blue squid and was hoping for the best but was pretty disappointed. The paints are very translucent and hard to get any kind of color to show on the child's faces. Even trying to use less water and really thicken up the paint it just didn't go on very opaque. It was like painting with watercolors glazing and layering. It took a really long time to do any kind of decent job because you had to keep going over and over the paint to try and brighten up the color. There is no way you can use this paint for one stroke face painting. I Still haven't found a cheap brand the even comes close to Diamond FX face paint. I returned this and am going to try snazaroo next. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Daughter Loves it. My 9 year old daughter received 3 looms for Christmas. Only one was a 'real' Rainbow Loom, the other 2 were knock off brands. Out of the 3 looms; the Rainbow Loom is by far her favorite and the one she uses the most. This loom can be taken apart and repositioned to make different band designs. The Rainbow Loom bands are far superior to some of the other knock off brands. My daughter loves to watch 'Tutorials By A' on you tube to get new band ideas and to watch step by step new band designs. My daughter loves this craft so much she has since used her own money to by additional bands and is currently waiting for March 7, 2014 when Rainbow Loom launches their new metal pink hook. Highly recommend for a crafty girl! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Good for the kitchen or for kids' crafts. Every summer we hear the sound of the ice cream trucks as they weave their way through our neighborhood, and it can get a bit costly over a week if we indulge in the frozen treats offered by them. It was for that reason that we began to look into making our own popsicles and frozen treats.
These <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Progressive-International-Freezer-Pop-Sticks/dp/B0000CFRBE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Progressive International Freezer Pop Sticks</a> offer an excellent start for us to make our frozen treats on a stick, and it's an excellent way to create concoctions that are not only easy to do, but fun for all involved. Homemade popsicles can save money, reduce the trash that we toss, and will help to save resources. They are fun to make, as kids love to experiment with different combinations.
But a few words of caution: please note that there is a big difference between the <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Craft-Sticks/dp/B000140JUQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Craft Sticks</a> found here and the ones being reviewed. Craft sticks are just for use with crafts, while the ones in this review are essentially a food-grade item, though they can be used for crafts as well... think of these as being dual-purpose.
You can make your own frozen pops using waxed paper cups or a mold, such as the <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Progressive-International-Freezer-Pop-Maker/dp/B0000CF7H6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Progressive International Freezer Pop Maker</a> which will mold then into a more convenient and traditional shape. Using one of these also reduces the chance of spillage accidents in the freezer, which is something that many of us learn the hard way. The main thing to remember is to keep it simple, and have fun sharing the experience.
Here are a couple of our favorite easy recipes, proven by trial and error:
Quick & Easy Creamsicles
1 (6 oz.) can frozen Florida orange juice concentrate
1 (6 oz.) can water
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened, (or vanilla yogurt)
Mix ingredients in a blender or with a power hand mixer for 30-45 seconds. Pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze. Makes about seven, 2.5 oz. creamsicles.
Strawberry-Orange Popsicles
1 quart Florida orange juice
2 cups strawberries, frozen or fresh
3 tablespoons sugar (omit if using sweetened strawberries)
1 cup vanilla yogurt or softened vanilla ice cream
Blend till smooth or not-so-smooth, depending on preference. Pour into molds and freeze. Makes about twelve 2.5 oz. popsicles
Note: with any of the above, add the popsicle sticks after your creation has partially set for about 15 minutes.
We're looking for new recipes to try, and especially for a really good recipe for mango popsicles. If you have any, please feel free to leave them in the comments.
Homemade popsicles are cool (and no pun intended) because you can make them healthy, organic, and with the type of ingredients you like. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
I would not recommend. These washi tapes are very cute and stylish, but I'm afraid their adhesive has a lot to be desired. I had originally ordered them to add to the backs of my Christmas card envelopes. They worked well for that (I'm not sure how they arrived at the recipients' mailboxes, but they left my house in tact). However, I've also wanted to use this washi tape to hang the cards we received on the wall, and this tape does not stick at all. I've also tried using it to tape photos to the fridge, and it peels away right away. So, if you actually want to use this as any type of "tape", with sticking capabilities, I would not recommend. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
This is so cute!! Very pleased. I am so excited when I saw this it is so well made of wood. It already has a hole on top for hanging and comes with the paint. The grandkids are going to love making their own Christmas decorations this year. I'm diffinetly going to be buying more. They will also make great stocking stuffers. I am very pleased with this DIY wood ornament. I would diffinetly recommend this to my family.
I have included some photos so you can see how well and cute this is. I hope you have found this review helpful, if so can you please click "helpful" button below. Thank you so much. I to read reviews before purchasing a product,so in no way of receiving this at a discount/free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review had anything to do with my 5 star rating. These are my own words and opinion of this well made wood ornament. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
KAI N5220 Scissors. I absolutely love these KAI scissors! It is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in my "perfect scissors" search... Nice design, very sharp and so comfortable, it even sounds like it's cutting great (can't explain that, you just have to experience this ability for yourself to understand). The difference between the N5210 8" and N5220 8-1/2" is the handle size. The longer handle is appx 1/2" longer on the N5220 than the N5210, but the blade portion and quality is exactly the same. I would never use the same pair of scissors for paper and fabric together, so I ordered one for each. The N5210 8" are the most comfortable pair for "my hands," but my husband who is an excellent tailor (he helps me tailor clothing, upholstery, draperies and many other things) and the N5220 fits his larger hand much better. I haven't reviewed any items in a very long time, but I have to say, I am so pleased with the quality of these pair of scissors it makes me so happy just thinking about using them! Really it does! I've gone through way too many scissors... that said, I can definitely tell the difference. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Defective product. Hello, I've bought a Zutter Kutter to be delivered in Florida during my last trip. The product came very well acconditionated and I've put it inside my lugagge to brought it to Brasil. I first used it 2 days ago and I found it deffective. After some tests I concluded that the blade is not centered according the grade printed on the cutting mat. When I try to cut a chipboard of 2 mm high with 3 cm lenght it will have, in fact, 3,2 cm, or 2 mm beyond the lenght desired. I don't know how to solve this problem once I'm back in Brasil and understand it would be very expensive and anoying send it back. And the return window is already closed. Cam you people at Amazon help me any way?
Thanks

I really like this bath bomb mold by Monarch. I really like this bath bomb mold by Monarch. You can now make your own bath bombs and save quite a lot of money and customize them they way you like. Woot! Woot! The recipe that this company provides is really easy to follow. I am fairly new to making them this is only my second time before receiving this one. I am pretty simple usually I make mine lavender scented or pepperminted scented. I do not add colors or anything. I am a simple person and minimal ingredients are always a great thing in my book. This bath bomb is huge. It is much larger than the standard size bath bombs that you buy. Which is really nice, because my bathtub is big so i end up having to use a couple standard ones to get scent into my water. This bath bomb mold is made of stainless steel so you never have to worry that it is going to rust. It has a nice weight to it and don't feel flimsy or that it is going to break. The only downside is the price. I wish either it was lower or they did a 3 pack. Iwas fortunate to receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. I always pre-test every product prior to writing a review. I am free to write whatever I believe to be true, whether negative or positive. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Wonderful Scent. I love the smell of this. It does smell of the sea- fresh. The lingering scent is soft but invigorating at the same time. Excellent in a vapor diffuser. It is kind of expensive for the size bottle you receive but you only need several drops at a time. I actually found a way to make a cheap wood stick diffuser by taking a few wood chopsticks, putting several drops of the oil on the upper portion of the chopstick & setting it up right in a small container in my bathroom. I have also broken one in half, put several drops of this oil on the upper portion of the chopstick and put it in one of the air vents in my car. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other scents. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Food safe finish. My hobby is woodworking and I'm currently making cutting boards and cheese boards from exotic and domestic woods. I had been finishing the boards with food grade mineral oil but decided to add bees wax to the oil to make a spoon butter. I wanted a white bees wax to avoid yellowing in the finish. The Stakish product worked well. It melted into the oil easily and cooled to a soft, white paste consistency. Several coats over several days leaves a very smooth to the touch finish, protects the wood and buffs to a satin sheen. When I give the boards to family or friends I also give a container of the finish along with info on how and how often to apply it to maintain the wood. With a little care these boards should last for decades.
Other reviews have mentioned the odor. In paste form there is some odor but I didn't find it objectionable. After applying the finish, waiting for it to be absorbed into the wood then buffing with a shop towel, I wasn't able to detect any odor.
I would recommend this wax and will reorder it after I use up this batch. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
It's OK. It took a few minutes to set up. There were a few hesitations in the winding, but once you get it going at a steady speed it works well. Wound a large skein of worsted weight yarn and it make a very nice, even cake. Like that it has 3 guides which winds a neater ball. The gears are plastic and I don't know how much use it will take before wearing out if ever. Worth having if you wind a lot of large cakes.
So, I was having a real problem with the clamp moving and the edge of the winder slipping off the table. Fixed that by adding rubber stick on disks to the clamp and the feet of the winder. The winder seems to be a lot steadier now. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Pretty but stubborn paper. So here is the weird thing, I had a friend visiting in Japan bring me back a bunch of origami paper, this being one of the packages. At time time I cut it into strips to fold Lucky Stars and it worked beautifully! A couple years later I thought...hmmm, I want some more of that paper, this time to use for origami that requires square sheets, most likely I will cut it into smaller squares since I prefer smaller paper. Before I could get around to cutting it, I thought of a project that required 100 sheets of larger paper (specifically 100 Water Bombs to be used as lanterns on LED lights)
I honestly do not know what this paper's problem is, the best way to describe it is stubborn. It doesn't want to fold right, when folding instead of being smooth it clumps up. It is stiff in a strange way, confusing since the paper itself is pretty thin. I thought perhaps it was something wrong with my technique so I folded a Water Bomb out of a sheet of some plain old origami paper and it turned out fine. It is like the paper only likes being flat or folded in small ways.
I dunno, I would probably buy this paper again if I could find it fairly cheap, but I would certainly only use it for modular designs that do not require many folds, especially angular one. It is a shame this paper is so stubborn because I absolutely love the patterns. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Major problems in design. This loom needs some tweaking! The dowels are just tooooooo close to the end pieces. There is barely enough room to push the wooden needle through. Try to wind some yarn around it or create a shuttle (out of cardboard because it doesn't come with one), it is almost impossible to go around the dowel. Also, the dowel is so large that if you are using thinner yarn the complete design has way too big a loop on the ends. We are left with having to include so many knots in the final project. This in and of itself is tedious besides unsightly. I had such high hopes because it looks like a high quality product and Melissa and Doug have never let us down. And yes, the black and white instruction booklet is pretty pathetic. So disappointing to me and my 9 year old daughter. Don't be tempted by its size- look elsewhere. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Fool me twice, shame on me. I make and sell greeting cards, so I go through a lot of adhesive. I have purchased off-brand adhesive several times because the name brand is a little pricey. With a little practice, I was able to overcome the loading issues other reviewers mentioned. However, in too many of the adhesive roles, the tape was sliced about 2/3 of the way to the end. I was happily rolling along, and suddenly, the tape broke. This was not a tear, but a clean slice through the paper backing. Once I reached the sliced area, the rest of the roll was unusable unless I took the time to apply the adhesive manually, which defeats the purpose of using an ATG. At first, I thought it was a random manufacturing error, and I purchased more refills. However, many of the rolls in the next batch were also affected. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be purchasing these cheap knock offs again. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Patterning fabric. This stuff is stupendous! I use it for working up period patterns for small dolls. It doesn't unravel, tear or clump. Since it is so inexpensive I'm finding myself much less frustrated when a dress falls to fit or to fall correctly.
The fabric itself is not beautiful. I got the white, hoping it was translucent enough to see pattern pieces in l through it. If the pattern lines are thick I can see them but otherwise I have to draw them on. The fabric is readily colored with virtually any medium (watercolor paints and gel pens excepted).
I've also used the fabric as a quick and dirty sunscreen, a privacy curtain and wrapping paper. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
OK, given the price. 10-Inch Solid Stainless Steel Tailor's Scissors Shear
These large scissors are made in Pakistan and are 10" long, end to end. I ordered two pair to use for yard work.
Pros:
- large thumb and 4-finger loops are comfortable for my extra large (XX, size 12) hands, but still useable by my wife, with her small hands.
- a fully exposed machine screw, lock washer, and nut, which hold the halves together; are removable, to aid in sharpening.
- sufficiently sharp to easily cut paper or cloth.
- the steel is very hard.
- inexpensive.
Cons:
- Compared to more expensive scissors, the hardware holding the halves together is downright crude; e.g., the bolt threads extend well past the nut, which can catch on things.
- one of my pairs came with a tiny nick in one of the blades, about " from the tip, preventing the scissors from fully closing. This defect would have been found and fixed with a decent quality control process. Rather than returning them, I used a flat sharpening stone to remove the nick - it took quite a lot of hand honing, which confirmed the steel's hardness.
- the opening / closing action is only fair, in that you can feel the resistance of the two blades rubbing against each other.
- compared to commercial quality scissors, such as the <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Gingher-220540-1004-Rounded-Bent-Trimmers-10-Inch-Industrial-Pack/dp/B005NAGWAY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Gingher 220540-1004 Rounded Bent Trimmers, 10-Inch, Industrial Pack</a> - this Pakistani product is, at best, OK. E.g., those Gingher scissors are a precision instrument, are superbly finished, are sharper, had zero machining defects, the screw/nut mechanism holding the halves together is excellent, they look expensive by comparison, and of course, cost a whole lot more.
Other:
- if the metal used in these scissors is indeed "stainless" as claimed, its characteristics match martensitic stainless steel (see below). I.e., the metal is magnetic, holding a magnet as firmly as does cast iron. This type of stainless can rust if stays wet for long, although not as much or as easily, as regular steel. It can also break if dropped, since the steel is brittle.
Summary:
For the price, these are OK for my yard work tasks. However, for more important uses such as sewing or arts/craft, consider spending more to get higher quality....
...
Types of stainless steel:
The three main types of stainless steels are austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic.
Austenitic. With austenite as their primary phase, these alloys contain chromium and nickel (sometimes manganese and nitrogen), structured around the Type 302 composition of iron, 18% chromium, and 8% nickel. Austenitic steels are not magnetic, not hardenable by heat treatment, are almost completely rust proof (depending on the chromium & nickle content). The most familiar stainless steel is 304 containing 18-20% chromium and 8-10% nickel.
Ferritic. With ferrite as their main phase, these steels contain iron and chromium. Ferritic steel is somewhat magnetic, less ductile than austenitic steel, not hardenable by heat treatment, and rust resistant (or better, depending on the chromium percentage).
Martensitic. With martensitic as their main phase, these are low carbon steels. They are magnetic, may be tempered and hardened, and only somewhat rust resistant. Martensite gives steel great hardness, but reduces its toughness and makes it brittle. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great for a casual baker. This was my first piece of silicone bakeware as well as my first muffin pan. I had no idea what to expect but I followed the instructions for the first use and made muffin sized blondies and they came out perfectly. I did have to use another baking sheet to support the muffin pan in the oven but the blondies popped right out and I suspect they would have even without the non-stick cooking spray. I did notice that the size is a little smaller than standard muffins but I'm not complaining since it's good for portion control.
Washing the muffin pan was really easy and I like that I can put it in the dishwasher without worry. I don't bake often so I can't speak to the durability of the silicone but I don't think I'll be looking to buy another muffin pan soon. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Awesome Mat. The mat is sturdy with a soft layer of silicone (or rubber) on the bottom so it doesn't slip around on the table. It holds the get-it-straight laser tool nice and sturdy in sunken ridges and allows for the tool to be easily lifted out if it gets in the way. The surface is magnetized and comes with 4 powerful magnets to hold the project in place and makes placement of items easy. I think it's a great mat even for someone who doesn't also buy the laser tool.
I have two small issues if I must speak of a downside: 1) the trademark labeling is printed on working areas of the mat: MULTI - MAT (2 5/8" x 1/2") and KELLY CRAFT (3 3/4" x 3/4"), and 2) No vertical line drawn at true zero, so I added a thin strip of painter's tape to designate true zero. Before adding the tape, I would butt the edge of my paper against the laser tool and then slide it over to the left a tad to line it up with the 12" mark on the mat. Both issues can be worked around, and overall I'm happy with it both tools. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
TOTAL novice's opinion. I am not really a knitter. I do enjoy simple crochet. However, I have tons's of yarn that I use on different looms. A couple of the looms, as well as manually cranked knitters I use need tension and it's difficult to get the correct tension from a skein at times, or a cone, or whatever shape the yarn comes in. I LOVE to buy yarn at thrift stores and garage sales because much of the items I make go to charities. But the problem is I pass up a lot of yarn that are half skeins, or are in a mess, etc. I also hate looking at my stash and seeing these half used skeins, or what soon looks like jumbled up messes.
So I purchased this thinking maybe I could eliminate some of the mess and make balls that make getting the tension I need easier. I know I'm not talking in knitting or crocheting terms, but as I said in the title I am a total novice in the world of knitting and crocheting.
When I first got the machine I looked at the one page explanation and diagram and thought, how in the world am I suppose to follow this? I've never even seen a yarn winder and therefore didn't even know how to thread it. Of course it didn't take much to figure out, but it was initially frustrating when I looked at those skimpy directions. I also, before trying to figure it out, wrote the company late last night. The company, I was pleasantly surprised answered back this morning, so a BIG star goes to their customer service. But as I said, I had already figured it out.
This machine itself is VERY sturdy and VERY well made! I'm impressed with that. I tried winding that thin, thin knitting yarn off the cones and although I got a very nice size ball, about 5" in diameter, this thin yarn is a pain to try and use on this machine, maybe it's only because I'm so new at this. The next thing I tried was a 7 oz skein of Red Heart yarn. Wow, what a LARGE ball that made and it was too big to completely wind on this winder so I had to hand wind the last several yards. Next I tried the softer yarns, simply soft, baby yarn etc. I have so many partially used skeins of this. It worked like a dream and I'm so proud of my balls of yarn.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this yarn winder has it's limitations, those limitations are only accurate in my case because I didn't know what I was buying and I didn't know what to expect. If I had known what I know now, I would probably buy it again because it is very, very sturdy and it works well. I don't think you would go wrong with this winder. It's made to last and last and last. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Nice little tool, but take your time. I've had this tool for about 3-4 years now and have thoroughly enjoyed it! It does take some practice to be able to use it on a surface however as you cannot use too much or too little pressure. You also may need to go over the same spot several times for it to really sink in deep. I have used it mainly on metal and plastic electronics enclosures and have found it to work just fine and that the marks last longer than what I'm marking does typically. I would recommend this if you need a small engraver that fits in a tool bag and works off of battery power, plus it's cheap enough that it doesn't really matter if it breaks! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Crystals make beautiful special effects. I always have good results with SAX products. If you use them as the label guides you, High in High fire, Low in Low fire, and stay within the recommendations, these are almost foolproof. Some will run a bit more than others, so read the specs and think in advance how you should apply them. Some need heavier applications than others, or one coat may be all you need. Read information on the products, make notes when you do test chips and for each new use. You will find consistency is the key to every good outcome.
This product needs to be gently but well stirred before the 1st brushed application. Then more rigorously stirred to incorporate the crystals. Decide how you want to apply this before you begin. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Excellent Value; Some Advice For Beginners. I love this glue gun; there aren't many other models that have two temperatures and a thin detail nozzle. I use hot glue extensively for my projects, and this is very reliable and easy to use. However, if you're using it more than two hours at a time, give it a break on low heat or leave it unplugged for about ten minutes; this will prevent it from overheating and burning the plastic on the inside. Overall, this is a great value, and is more safe and convenient than having two separate guns for low and high heat. It's comfortable to hold and I thought the stand was very convenient; it folds back to get into small spaces. Although you can dispense glue for up to 5 minutes after unplugging, I prefer to keep it plugged in while I'm working for my larger projects, since I use it very frequently (but always unplug it when you're done!).
If you're inexperienced with glue guns:
-Always use the right heat for your material; fabric, felt, florals, and paper have a low tolerance for heat, so low heat is better.
-Everything bonds better on high heat; but be warned, it gets VERY hot. It will start smoking when used on more delicate materials and papers, so use caution; working with a fan nearby on a low/medium setting will help it cool faster. Always let glue cool for a few minutes before touching it; you could get second-degree burns if you touch while it is still hot.
-Remember that if you're pressing pieces together, some of the glue will seep through felts and fabric, so always use a piece of cool metal or a thick piece of cardboard to press pieces together if you don't want to burn your fingers. I use an craft knife handle (no knife in) as a press; it won't stick to the metal after it's cooled, just be sure to pull it away sharply to prevent it from trailing on the end. If you want to cool your glue quickly or prevent it from sticking to your metal piece when you remove it, keep a bowl or cup of 1/2 water and 1/2 ice nearby and let the metal knife handle sit in it. It will get very cold; dry it throughly with a paper towel and after dispensing your glue, you can press it down to flatten the dab of glue and cool it at the same time.
-If you get burned, never use milk or butter to sooth the burn; these relieve pain, but it will not let your skin heal; always use cool water and antibiotic/burn cream and bandaging.
-Keep the area around your glue gun clear and never let the cord hang or sit where someone could trip over the cord or a child could pull it down or use it! Children could very easily burn themselves on the barrel or nozzle! Also keep away from pets!
-Protect your surfaces and make cleanup easy: keep a couple pieces of paper or a small sheet of aluminum foil under your glue gun to catch drippings. It can come off fairly easy on plastic and metal tables, but may damage wood ones. I see a lot of people complain that it leaks glue out of the nozzle when not in use, but frankly, it's not a big deal. The hot glue is melted in the barrel and the tip is pointed down. I don't really see it as such an inconvenience, all you have to do is pull it up or rub the nozzle gently against the table. Never lay it on its side to prevent drippings.
-"Fly-aways" are long, almost web-like pieces of glue that trail on after dispensing. You can help reduce these by briefly rubbing the nozzle near the spot you dispensed the glue or on a piece of paper or metal nearby; you can then pull it off easily after the glue dries (it will keep going if you pull while the dab is still hot).
-If you're having trouble pushing the glue through with the trigger, it may not be hot enough. You can heat it quickly by setting it to high heat for a few minutes, then back to low heat for a little under one minute. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
great for sewing patterns. Really enjoying this paper for sewing projects. I copy the pattern pieces to this butcher paper since it is stronger than the normal pattern tissue paper and for making alterations/ my own patterns. I use this paper in conjunction with a cut-resistant mat (so I don't damage the floor!), tracing wheel/double tracing wheel, and carbon tracing paper for sewing pattern work.
The size (48" wide) is nice and big-- larger than sewing pattern pieces which is very convenient. The roll is large enough in diameter that the paper doesn't curl up- you can cut off a piece and it will lay flat which makes it easier to work with (than small rolls like wrapping paper- also sturdier than wrapping paper). | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Must have for vaper's DIY kit. These are well-made scissors that come to a fine point at the end. I got these for my vaping needs, for trimming cotton for wicks. They're very sharp and have comfortable wide finger holes. The finger holes should be large enough for most people. They are small-sized, making them an excellent choice if you want to make your own vaping kit. I made mine by using a plastic box with removable dividers meant for beads/bead supplies.
While I'm sure these scissors have many other uses, I've only used them for trimming cotton. They are titanium, so they are strong and made to last. I have larger-sized scissors that are titanium and they have provided me many years of use. I would definitely buy this product again. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Excellent definition. My original casting of 20 years ago . 5 stars with no doubt. I purchased this item here in feb 2017. I have been casting my left hand for the last 20 years,at 5year intervals, so this is my fourth casting, using this product for all castings. Excellent definition. My original casting of 20 years ago were not done exactly to directions & show less definition, but are very nice. I read the review for the one couple that simply reported very bad results. Its not easy: you must use cooler water to make the first/gel cast. I use a thermometer to be sure water temp is 70F. Material will gel much slower, allowing critical time to correctly mix and to then get into the "mix" & find your container sides/limits. This time took almost 15 minutes in the mix, a long time, but exceptional detail. Moisten/water hands first, as directions indicate. Have a time with min/secs easily readable, but away from work area. Wet paper towels/water bowl for emergency issues. You cannot leave the stone cast sit inside the gel casting for more than 12hrs. I separated casting at 8 hrs. Tremendous detail. Outstanding product, and outstanding results for this 20th year casting. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Buy in major bulk if you plan to do a bouquet. Yes it works...but, it's quite a project to get a bunch of flowers dried which is what I was trying to do. The 'blue crystals' turned white often which meant I had to remove the flowers from the crystals, shake the crystals onto a cookie sheet, and bake the whole mess for 5-6 hours to get them blue again. I had to 'bake' the crystals three times to get my flowers fairly dried--I should have done it one more time but was just tired of digging out the flowers and waiting for 5 hours to pass. The flowers had color when dried--which was one of the main reasons I tried this method. However, the colors were NOT the same colors the fresh flowers were when we started the process! IF you want to do a bouquet (wedding or other), I would highly recommend buying at least 3-6 boxes of this product so you don't have to keep baking and redrying time after time. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Improperly Assembled. Purchased this to speed along creating event decor. This punch has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, the mechanism was assembled somewhat off, so that the blade could not slice fully through paper. I didn't have time to wait for a replacement, so I ask my husband to help. He had to disassemble the whole bottom of the punch, unscrew the blade's mount, and, with great consternation, wedge the blade into place so that it would function correctly. Without this fix, the punch was useless; thankfully, it now works. Hoping that this is a fluke and that the punches are actually typically properly assembled. It is otherwise of hearty construction, except for the rubber footings, which seem to slip out rather easily. However, because of the blade issue (its essential function), I cannot give this product more than 2 stars. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
makeup I noticed that it was going on so easily! Easy to spread. When I and my friend began applying our makeup I noticed that it was going on so easily! Easy to spread, and great coverage with a very thin coat! I should mention I've been painting faces for years! During the 10 hours we were wearing the makeup I kept thinking about how I couldn't even tell I was wearing it and it did not crack or flake or come off on anything, even from our hands or arms! Seriously, No itching, No pealing! I remember thinking, I need to find out what kind of makeup this is! Then came the removal! It came off SO Easily!!! Just a few makeup removal wipes! The next day I researched Ava and Frank and I just Need to tell you, Wow! Love Love Love this makeup! Wow! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Quality tape, but we only received 3/4 of the product indicated. For starters, the tapes come in cute patterns, are easy to tear, and are sticky enough for office use, or scrap booking, or whatever else you can possibly think of. The tags are sparkly in nature, both silver colored, and red/rust colored, but not due to glitter. The sparkle is inherent to the paper itself, which is nice. If it were due to glitter then there is a good possibility that the glitter would come off and be found EVERYWHERE! Beyond that the tape functions as it should, the tags are easy to write on with a permanent style marker, and the cord works well.
Here's the rub: the product description indicates that 12 washi tapes were included. We only received 9 tapes. Additionally, some of the tapes came shrink wrapped in plastic, like one would expect if they were new from a store. The others were not shrink wrapped, which gives the impression that possibly they were used, or unwrapped for some other reason. Perhaps they weren't used, but aren't new either? For these reasons 2 stars have been removed.

pH papers and fun customizable stickers for the bottles. At first I thought it was a little pricey but I decided to give it a try nonetheless. My husband loves hot sauces so I figured it was worth the splurge. When I got the kit I was blown away...it's WORTH EVERY PENNY! Whoever made this kit really has a passion for hot sauce makin' and knows what they're doing! The kit is really cute and even includes glove, pH papers and fun customizable stickers for the bottles. Making hot sauces is quick and fun and there are countless recipes out there. This is a great gift for that someone who is impossible to shop for or if you are looking for a fun new pass time (that literally takes 15min...if you can decide on a recipe that is). I highly recommend it! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
It's pretty cool. Best "toy" I got myself in a . It's pretty cool. Best "toy" I got myself in a while. I had it up and running in about ten minutes. You just have to attach the laser with two screws and install the software. Easy but (1) The two screws are NOT magnetic, so epect to drop them... a lot, LOL and (2) the screwdriver they give you, just throw it away and use a real driver.
The software does have limitations but its fairly easy to understand and get a grasp of whats going on.
I also put a small muffin fan (computer fan) next to it, as I found with heavy etching, the smoke tends to stain the wooden fob without the fan.
Setup was fast on a win7 laptop. Then I tried to install on linux using playlinux and wine. No go. drivers cant find the port. I didn't hack anymore but suspect I could direct the ports with some root level commands but didn't want to bother. Then I installed in a VMware win7 "vbox" within Linux and it ran ok but would not let me adjust cutting time to less then 30ms. Again, didn't fuss with it too much as it works ok on my win7 laptop.
I see replacement laser heads are avail for less then $40 and I might get one as a backup. So far I have etching anything I can get my hands on, LOL. Put the grandkids portraits on wooden fobs. etched names in pen barrels (linearly), make a couple rude ones (snicker, chuckle).
Merry Christmas to me!
p.s. This is a well built metal housing. nothing flimsy or cheesy about it. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Proportions seem off. I bought this mold thinking it would help me make a cute baby or two from the Polymer clay, just for fun. But this mold does not help much. It is only the front of the baby, you have to mold the back of him/her and 'imagine' what it would look like and whether to add more clay and how much. The feet are a real problem, they unmold as blocks with toes, and it isn't clear whether you are supposed to bend them up to finish the feet or try to carve your own heels. I tried it both ways and neither was close to creating a decent heel even after a lot of work. And the proportions seem way off, not sure if it is somehow something I did but I have a creepy-looking baby with too small a head - at least I think that is the issue, it is hard to tell what the problem is but it is definitely not cute. I will try a few more times, but this is not much of a shortcut to creating a baby, I would have a least expected to have the proportions right. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
So Many Uses, So Little Time. This tape is one I keep returning to over and over again for a variety of projects.
A note here about the nature of this tape...The tape is not heavy - we aren't talking duct/electrical weight tape here. Nor should it be used for "home repair" projects (please don't weatherguard window seams or duct joins with this stuff!).
Rather, this is classified as archival restoration tape. I've used it to create hinged foam-core or canvas board print frames, reinforce paperboard boxes, repair rips in classic film stills from the '30s, reinforce vintage postcards, photographs and book spines, etc... It is deceptively strong and will last forever if used properly. Lineco products never disappoint. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
nice, reasonably inexpensive tape that suited my exact needs. I can't give it less than five stars, even though it is just two-sided tape, but it serves exactly the purpose I bought it for.
Little back-story.
I live in an area of the Caribbean where there are significant amounts of crap in the air (dust, pollen, etc.) and I spend quite a bit of time taking electronics apart (computers, my Dish DVR, etc) and cleaning/vacuuming them out.
After searching for the longest time for filters, I came across some filter material (computer air filter, Filtalert Corporation; see review below) that I could put over air intakes but needed a way to simply secure it to the case with something that didn't make the filter job look like something my young nephews did with duct tape. This tape is perfect; I affix it to the back of the filter material, and secure it to the case, and voila, filter perfect. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
great great chisel with BONUS. Razor sharp, in all sizes and priced great. Very high quality with nice handles. i was leary about the brand, but US made chisels are very very expensive for good ones, (like 50-100$ each) or cheap ones (us made) are not that great looking (quality wise). These are nicely finished, very sharp and I love to use them. They are balanced perfectly and beautiful finish. The handles are comfortable and large enough that they are easy to hold onto. The bonus is the small aluminum "attache" case they come in with cutout foam for each one. Its very nice and a great way to store these to protect children from cutting themselves or from them being banged around in the tool box and edges damaged. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
I actually really love this Oxide colorant. I actually really love this Oxide colorant. I am using it in my soaps. Below you will see a picture of the pink that I just used in my cold process soap. I used the pink colorant this round. I left the bottom of the bar the natural cream color and pink for the top. I love the pink color. This one was lavender, sandalwood and jasmine, so the color is just perfect for the scent. It wasn't as bright as I had expected it but I should have put some white in it first and then added the pink. That was my mistake but I am happy with the way that it turned out.
I will be ordering this set again. It just takes a little bit. A little bit goes a long way. I used very little for the soap.
I love it and I do recommend it. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Strong, useful, safe. Don't buy this to impress your friends. It is not a "manly" tool, it is not intimidating and cannot help rebuild civilization after the apocalypse. It is however a strong, well made pair scissors that should last years.
They cut just about everything reasonable that I have tried. The only slight disappointment is they are not the best for opening taped boxes because the edges are not razor sharp but it eventually gets the job done. Other than it is a very useful every day carry tool. It fits easily in my cellphone case, unlike a knife I can take it anywhere including the airport and it will handle most everyday cutting tasks. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
I am very disappointed in this loom set. I am very disappointed in this loom set. I picked up the Boye Round set at a brick and mortar store. Loved it so much that with in a week I ordered the long loom set as I wanted to be able to make blankets. The pegs on the Round Loom set are nice and solid, smooth feel, just all around great quality. The Long Loom however is a mix of the strong plastic, flexible rough pegs... Ugh! The pegs haven't been properly sanded to make them smooth, my yarn keeps getting caught and fibers are breaking This is going back to Amazon. I'm going to look for the Knifty Knitter set. I love my round Boyes, but the long looms are just.... crap. Boye a suggestion, put the same pegs you have on the Round Looms on the Long ones. Seriously the long Looms are half crap, and the crap part is the important part! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Nice punch -- good for loyalty and discount card programs. I do business development work in a non-profit that revitalizes a blighted area of the city in which I live. I bought this so I could talk to business operators about loyalty programs. We also needed the punch as we experimented with a discount card program with a large card. You know -- where you get a card stamped every time you buy something, and after so many purchases you get something free.
I thought this punch was ideal as it provides a very unique die for punching out the card each time a person buys something. The die is not round -- it makes two parallel, straight lines. You can also buy other die shapes like stars and hearts using the information on the rear of the package in which the tool comes.
Funny, though -- I gave it away to a business operator who runs a Chinese restaurant and who has a loyalty program. She just initials the card and puts the date of the sale on it. For me, this is an invitation for fraud as the signature can be traced. I found out from the staff that she likes the signature on the card better than this punch I gave her, so I took it back. So, you have two opinions here. I vouch for this punch.
By the way, the 2" reach is also good for those rack cards that contain multiple deals. The punch is capable of reaching far into the card to cut out deals that have been redeemed etcetera -- my regular hole punch was not capable of doing this -- that is why I bought this punch, and liked it. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Pissed I can't return. I purchased this item back in late October and finally just had a chance to sit down to work on some leather projects. Upon taking it out of it packaging, I noticed the finish is very poor and looks as if it is flaking already. Asthetically, it is of very poor quality for first impression. Looking past that and still having great hopes for the quality of the cutting edge, I was infuriated upon realizing it too is of very poor quality and came very dull, leaving a nasty edge on the leather. After checking return policy, I see that I am now out of the 30 day return and am quite frustrated. This item is junk and I wish I could return this item for a full refund. Do not buy this item. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great Bulk Purchase for Wedding Welcome Bags. This was a very good deal. It does take some patience to slowly separate the stickers because they come in blocks and there were a few that didn't stick well or a bit of the chalkboard paint peeled off, but overall most of them stuck well to my brown paper bags and looked nice. This was a great bulk purchase for the Welcome bags for our wedding. They are also very easy to write on with the chalkboard markers and if you make a mistake, you can gently wipe it off with a damp paper towel a few times before compromising the sticker. If you have the time to patiently separate them, then these are a great purchase, if not then I would get the ones that are individually stuck to the paper sheets. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Really Great Punches and Stamps. I really like these punches! The only caveat is that the stamps do not all fit in the cap of the punch as assumed. The cap tends to pop up a bit with all 3 stamps in it. But other than that, the punches are really nice. Be sure to read the instructions on the back of the package before using with stamps. You stamp first, and then you have to line up the bottom of the punch (punch it upside-down, essentially) to the stamp design and squeeze the handles to punch. The problem with that is if you're using larger paper, you need to cut out a smaller square around the stamped design so that the paper is small enough to move into proper position in the punch. If you cut the paper right, you can then use scrapbook scissors around the scrap part and a small hole punch (if you want) to make a lace-like tag, then decorate. You probably want to consider these things before you do an actual stamp and punch. Just punching a shape is easy but you'll have to consider that these punches don't go in too far (about 1" or less from edge of paper, I'd guess) so you'll be punching near the edge of your paper. Something to think about if you are using nice paper you don't want to waste. Also, I've had good luck cleaning off the stamps with a bit of 92% rubbing alcohol immediately after use. Though most of the time I intend to use acrylic paints or water-based markers to do stamps, rather than a stamp pad ink. The punches work very well. They give a good clean line each time and the flower comes out the bottom easily, no sticking. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Best small scissors that I own. Very sharp, very precise, but can cut thick paper and light cardboard also. Excellent craftsmanship of the blades. Very sharp.
The pointed ends make me slightly nervous when handling the scissors, but they are very helpful for precision work. Definitely not for young kids.
Would have liked a case or blade cover for storage given the sharpness of the point of the scissors. Store with care.
They are excellent at cutting and trimming things like packing tape or duct tape as long as you periodically clean off any adhesive residue on the blades. I find that rubbing alcohol works well for adhesive residue; just make sure to leave it open to dry.
Overall, this is a great small precision scissor with a very sharp point. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Great for clay. Even though I rated them under the toy catagories, they are not toys for those under the age of 13 and even then they should be supervised by a parent for awhile so that they understand that these tools can be dangerous to folks who aren't careful. Some of the ends on the picks are just the same as dental picks and scrapers. I do think they can be an educational experience, be very durable, and alot of fun after learning how to use them and what they can do for both baked and not baked polyclay.
This is an awesome set of carving tools for clay. They are listed as carving tools for wax, but I am sure there are multiple uses only limited by the imagination of those who use them. There are 12 total and they are double ended so you will get 24 different tools. There are scoops, knifes, picks, paddles (spatulas) and many more. I highly recommend them for claywork and I am impressed with the quality of these items at less than $8.00. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Amazing. If you have a smart phone/tablet/laptop power cord that has the outer plastic/rubber cover come loose or pull apart from the plug... you MUST get this product.
I wish I knew about this a year or so ago.
I had 3 cords that I wrapped in electric tape... which worked ok at first, but slowly came loose and made the cord sticky.
Then I saw this and wanted to give it a try.
This is wonderful.
I purchased the multicolor pack.
I have only used the blue ... but divided it up and placed it on my 3 cords that needed repair.
24 hours later (even sooner) it is like a brand new cord. Very pliable and secure.
Easy to apply (a little sticky at first and left some blue residue on cord/plug ..... which I later easily wiped off with a tissue) and looks wonderful.
I highly recommend this product. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Excellent Paracord Tool From JigPro- Changes Paracording. Another Excellent Paracording Tool from JigPro. Thanks Guys! I had the original Knotters Tool from JigPro, and this new one is slightly different. The most obvious difference is that the new tool has a sharper, more tapered point, allowing you to get into tighter knots easier. Also the ribbing is slightly changed to allow better grip. I like to wrap the smaller areas with paracord to spice it up a bit. Also the pocket clips kink has been moved down a bit allowing for a more secure clip. And of course the interior is hollow allowing you to store your lacing needles inside the Knotters Tool 2. An excellent tool that should be in EVERY paracorders kit! This will allow you to work more efficiently, making paracord, or leather project looks way better than you ever thought you could do!
***Pro-Tip***- I cut 2 round pieces of felt and push them into the top and bottom of the inside of the tool, this allows the threading needles to rest gently inside and make zero sound- No more Clinking while you work! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Outstanding Product. I love this product! I have successfully used this medium for many years. I have had many compliments on my "stained" glass in my home and have used this at the library where I work at now. I have used it as a classroom project with middle schoolers and they loved the results and so did their parents! Easy to clean up after and easy to use.
So many techniques and colors and reusable too! I did one painted "sticker" of my husband's favorite tractor for our kitchen window and when we moved I just peeled it off the window and then re-applied to our new kitchen window. Worked great! You cannot shake the paint, and you do need to understand how to use a paintbrush but if you can master those two skills the sky is the limit!
Plus there are molds available that you can pour the paint into to create great looking beveled edged stickers and so much more.
Great stuff I just wish our local craft store still carried this so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
These are good reusable pads. These are good reusable pads. They take a bit longer to dry than some of the others I have but that's probably because they are amazingly absorbent. I have the large size and they are good for day time, I'm about a size 18. If you are thinking of trying reusable pad you will probably love these, they are very comfortable. I also like that the lining fabric isn't sewn along the middle pad part. I see that as a potential leaking problem. My only criticism is I wish the makers of these types of pads would consider redesigning the wing so it doesn't go the entire length. It actually wasn't a huge problem for me but it can make it more bunchy and doesn't lie as flat. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Aggravating product, no help from Plaid. I have tried using this product several times over the years. Yes it will dry white. But DO NOT WASH THE ITEM YOU HAVE TRANSFERRED THE PICTURE ONTO. I have learned this the hard way. Your photo will come out damaged. It does not matter if you hand wash this or not. I've had pictures come out looking distressed, ripped, faded, loss of color in some spots of a picture and large hunks of the image gone completely. When I contacted Plaid (the makers of the product) for insight, I am told to reference the instructions on the product (of which there are none, it says to go to the website for instructions, when you do it says there is no such website. I ended up going to Plaids youtube channel to follow the how to video and I followed it to the letter. Still no help). It's a waste of time and money if it is for something you plan to wear. If it is for something you plan to hang or display, it's not horrible but I'm sure there are better mediums out there. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
Awesome designs. This 6 pack of washi is absolutely one of my favorites I've found. It has cats and birds, the vibrant colors and beautiful designs on every roll in this package are amazing. I use washi mostly for decorating crafts and for decorating in my planners, yes plural, I have 3! But honestly the uses for washi are endless. This package has 10 yards on each roll, it lays easily down on paper and can be easily lifted if it needs to be readjusted or straightened. It tears easily, I use the end of a ruler. Its just an all around crafters dream.
I do an online review on my YouTube channel (sprngbrd *) of this and ALL washi I have purchased through AMZ
This 6 pack roll retails for $8.99 but I received it for the discounted amount of $6.84 in exchange for my honest review | arts-crafts-and-sewing_crafting |
