This is perfect for what I needed it for. Good quality. | 5 |
Amazingly sharp ! Am buying a few more to stash in travel bags - excellent !!!! TSA approved - I flew with it today - no issues. | 5 |
satisfied the artist in me! | 4 |
Recommend! | 5 |
Got these for my husband, he says they are perfect! Thank you for a great product. | 5 |
They are way bigger than I thought they would be, but the are great | 5 |
Very fast delivery for a good product nicely stored in a semi-opaque plastic zip lock bag. Looks neat. Tags are a good quality tag material, 2x3" flat part of tag and another inch for the rounded end where the string goes. | 5 |
Does what its suppose to. | 5 |
This is a really useful item. Perfect weight in a really usable device. I think this works better than attaching a fishing sinker with a binder clip. | 5 |
Love the quality of the paper and beautiful colors ! | 5 |
I am new to embroidery and the netting for the thread is a very good idea. The thread is beautiful. | 5 |
I bought these based on reviews I had seen both on here and by artists elsewhere on the internet. I should have gotten Prismacolor, but so many people had said oil-based pencils were much smoother and didn't break as easily, so I ordered a set. Unfortunately, they were not what I was hoping for. Unlike other wax-based colored pencils, these do not seem to blend very well with one another (even with a blender pencil I specifically bought to go with oil-based pencils) and they do not have good coverage. I should be able to sketch and fill in my drawings with normal pressure and achieve smooth, even color. However, I have to press way too hard with these to even keep the paper from showing through. They do not make my drawings look professional at all. I had better results with a $6 box of Target brand colored pencils than I did with these!
Here is an example of the difference between Lyra pencils (oil-based) and Target's brand (wax-based) so you can see why I'm giving the low rating. In the photos below, the sunflower was created using Lyra's pencils and the flamingo was created using the $6 pencils from Target. I did not use any blending tools for either drawing - all blending was done solely with the colored pencils themselves. Both drawings were also done on the same type of paper (Strathmore brand) - toned and without any tooth. See the splotchy look of the Lyra pencils? No smooth transition between colors and no matter how much I go over the area or how hard I press, I cannot get an even appearance. I went over that leaf a dozen times and I can still see spots where the paper is showing. With Target's pencils, my flamingo looks velvety. The colors blend and layer with ease. That is what you want from a colored pencil. That is how your finished drawing should look.
So why bother giving two stars if I dislike them so much? Well, for one, the colors are bright and rich. Despite not laying well on paper, the colors are gorgeous, so I can't complain about that. The pencils come packaged nicely in a metal tin and their overall appearance is pleasing - natural wood with only the back ends colored to differentiate between the options. They look like pencils made for an artist rather than for a school kid. Unfortunately, they do not live up to artist expectations. | 2 |
nice plastic not the hard plastic that will brake when you drop it . great for bobbins but also other small things for arts and crafts or even for nails and skews . | 5 |
A good size ripper that does the job. | 5 |
Very nice. Takes awhile to get, but would order again. Very happy w/ purchase. | 5 |
love it. | 5 |
While this took some getting used to it makes adding snaps to things pretty easy once you get the hang on it. I have to admit that I needed to YouTube instructions as they seemed pretty vague | 5 |
Long time Fiskar fan. | 5 |
Nice touch to art work | 5 |
My first Susan Bates Weaving Needle was purchased in 1998 and over all the subsequent years never got lost despite a cross-country move, many vacations, and my own general forgetfulness. That is, never got lost until early 2012. I tried hunting for it between seat cushions with a magnet attached to the end of a stick, that's how desperate I was. Since it didn't surface, I ordered two more - one for my travel bag and one for home. Then the first one showed up, so there were three...and then somehow two of them got lost. This was infuriating, so I ordered one more.
Now all four are accounted for and I couldn't be happier. This needle is nice and long, so it's easy to manipulate when seaming or even just weaving in ends. It has a nice easy-to-thread eye, which only gives me grief with Artyarns' beaded ones (but I just cut off the bead strand and seam in the remainder). It's easy to get a grip on and has a nice blunt tip. I highly recommend it! | 5 |
I've been using these for several months and have had no problems. I keep one with alcohol for AI projects and one with water for watercolor projects, which means the third one is a spare should I need it. | 5 |
I started off making candles with this wax. It's great quality, but I would recommend ordering the 10lb bag if you're planning on making several candles. | 3 |
I'm crocheting a baby blanket and just love how it's coming together. The colors are really pretty! Perfect for a little girl. | 5 |
So far so good time will tell | 4 |
This makes pressing hems so much easier!! You can iron right over it.. steam obviously will fog up the ruler, and you shouldn't touch this right away after ironing over it, it gets pretty hot. My hems look so much nicer after purchasing this! | 5 |
great pattern! | 5 |
my wife is pleased | 5 |
Happy with purchase. | 5 |

This glue is fantastic; it bonds fabric to many different types of surfaces. It dries fast to make things a breeze, and makes a secure permanent bond when dried. It does take a little bit of technique to keep it from stringing (it strings a bit like hot glue if you're not careful) but it is my go-to glue for any craft project. | 5 |
It all started with one large die, then I had to buy a larger die-cutting machine, then I bought more dies to use with the larger die-cutting machine, and on it goes... For those of us who love to buy cool dies, let this be a warning that just about every different die has necessary accessories to actually use the dies. | 5 |
My wife says it works. | 5 |
Product works easily and with easy understanding. | 5 |
Easy to use, fantastic reflectivity! | 5 |
Fast and love this product | 5 |
loved great price | 4 |
beautiful, adds rich and finished look to any jewlery~! | 5 |
A good cheap sketch pad. Paper is of good quality. Cover is very durable and survived over 3 weeks of being lugged around in a teenage bookbag. Good for many artistic mediums -- charcoal, colored pencils, pastels, crayons, markers. | 5 |
I made some great art with this. Vibrant colors. | 5 |
So pretty of cards just adds a special touch. Love themthank you. Blessings, Mitzi Osborn | 5 |
A simple tool that has multiple uses in polymer clay, and other crafts. I like the retracting point to prevent unintentional sticks. It is well made and the price on Amazon was the best. | 5 |
Came as described. Very happy with purchase! Will definitely be back for more | 5 |
I bought this clay to make some little figurines and play around. It's awesome! It's hard enough for you to sculp tiny details without destroying everything but it's also soft enough to sculp anything you want. It's very white and once you cook it, you can paint it. I used an acrylic paint to color my clay figures. Once you cook them they're pretty sturdy. | 5 |
I am a nurse. I have some pins from hard-won credentials and awards that I enjoy wearing on my name badge because they make nice conversation pieces, and add some fun "flair" to a boring old badge. After losing one (thankfully replaceable) pin and being stabbed in the, um, "chest area" by another I went in search of a better pin back. These are AMAZING. I have given several away to friends, who in turn, bought some of their own. There's more than one way to save the tatas, as it turns out.
I have have used this product for a few months now without any disappointment whatsoever. They are solid, secure, and stop your pins from poking you through whatever they are being worn on. They are very easy to use, easy to secure on the pin, and while they are easy to remove they have never come off accidentally, even through the craziness, chaos, and rigor of your standard 12-14 hour nursing shift. I would (and will in the future) buy them again as they are needed. | 5 |
I've used DMC metallic embroidery floss for Christmas doilies and for decorating greeting cards, and it does have to be handled carefully. The multiple threads ravel very easily, and if you are really unlucky, they bunch and knot up. Nevertheless, I persevere with this thread because it adds a nice touch of glitter to my projects. Please see customer image for an Easter card that I decorated with this thread. | 3 |
I am a sucker for butterfly images, and with the delicate scrolls surrounding the butterfly, this is a perfect stamp for many occasions, such as Springtime cards, or a card to simply cheer someone up. Butterflies seem to be a universally loved creature, so this will please a multitude of people. | 5 |
discolored and tarnished, do not purchase | 1 |
Needles are comfortable to the hand. They do not twist and are smooth at the joins. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I would suggest inspecting and trying all needles at once. My original order had some burrs at the joins. I contacted the seller and received an immediate replacement. The new order was perfect. | 5 |
These scissors are absolutely fabulous! Well worth the price. I have about 10 pairs of scissors scattered about my house because I am into all sorts of arts and crafts and designing things, and these scissors are my favorite.
I like them so much that I actually almost exclusively use them now. They're very high quality in terms of their grip and handle area, as well as the blades. The sharpness, accuracy, and overall performance is absolutely great.
They also look nice too and come in multiple sizes! I'd highly recommend this product :) | 5 |
Perfect gift | 5 |
Very pretty and good pigment. | 4 |
I would prefer if there was some sort of rubber tip on the end to prevent scratching. | 3 |
I do love that there is no mixing required. The top cat comes out amazing, but the bottom cat doesn't look right and the colors don't look the same as they do in the picture. It looks like a real painting with one hand painted cat that doesn't look so nice. | 3 |
Love this craft mat. I'm saw someone on YouTube using one of these sheets working with alcohol inks, and had to have it. I have already ruined a section of my craft table and this craft sheet protects it from further damage. Just wish I could find a bigger one. | 5 |
WOW I'll never use another prismacolor ever again!
Game changer in the world of coloring! :) | 5 |
Love this hook so much | 5 |
great price, work great in my evolution. | 5 |
When they work they are great! | 4 |
The quality of the pigment is exceptional so that you can brush it on in nice thin washes or in much thicker layers. I bought this for painting in Provence, along with several other earth tones, and it creates very nice washes and thicker paint when needed. I will definitely buy it again. | 5 |
Then boxes have a nice swirl pattern to them that you don't see in the picture. They will fit the black earring holder. | 5 |
Just right to secure hats during those extremely windy days. | 5 |
This is very nice. It is encased with a sturdy cap. It cuts just like I hoped. | 5 |
Sheds. Cheap and performs that way. Best for Kindergarten uses. | 2 |
There's not much a person can say about casters......except about the quality of them.
These casters were perfect....function well, are constructed well. | 5 |
Never used this on a Cricut, expected a little thicker but it worked. I'm sure there are more knowledgable people that can rate this better. It was cheap and you get a lot of sheets to create different stencils. | 4 |
Very nice product. High rating because they fit the purpose that I had ordered them for.
Keep all my unmounted rubber stamps in them. recommend to all scrappers who have rubber stamps
laying around that are not on wood blocks. | 5 |
took a little practice to get the hang of writing with these. Once I did though they work great. Just be sure to shake them well and then practice first on a scrap. It does take quite a while to get the ink flowing for the first use so be patient. | 5 |
Love, love,love these paints! You have to try these! The many different types of images you can get when you combine the pebeo fantasy moon and the prisme. If you ever heard the expression watching paint dry, lol, as it drys and interacts well it's fantastic! Try it once and you'll love it! | 5 |
great colors but would like more metallic in paint - like my other metallic paints I use in painting | 4 |
So soft. It made a beautiful infinity scarf in half double crochet. I only needed one skein. | 5 |
OMG these stickers are beautiful. I buy them every year and am still amazed at the quality and quantity for such a good price. | 5 |
I love this SB die and I have used it several times. You have to use powder dusted on these dies and run them thru the SB machine 3or4 times to make sure they cut good and release all the little papers. | 5 |
Worked great on our pumpkins. All the tools were nice quality and held up well with various people using them on the 25 pumpkins we carved. | 5 |
Looks nice I have already made some items with it, plan to order again when I need to. | 4 |
bought as a gift
they love it | 4 |
Works good, I like that I can see right thru it so I can see what my clay looks like on the other side. | 5 |
Just as described | 5 |
Ingenious product, easy to use, makes perfection seem ordinary!! | 5 |
Hands down my favorite watercolor paper. This pad is also huge. I recently purchased 18x24" but this is my standard go to size. Make sure to tape down paint or keep on pad and use binder clips to hold the paper down. I've used so many types of watercolor paper and this is my go-to. The only exception is Arches if you are looking for a fancier paper | 5 |
For special projects I love this yarn but I always need a little more than the project calls for Great yarn | 5 |
These are great for making resin jewelry! | 5 |
I ordered the Beadalon Crimp Bead Variety Pack because I needed some silver crimp beads and Amazon had a very good price for the 600 piece package. I was very disappointed when the package arrived and I tried them. One size crimp bead is so thick that it would not crimp and I tried three different sizes of crimp pliers. Several months ago I purchased a pair of the new Beadbuddy Crimp pliers which came with a tube of silver plated crimp beads and they were packaged very much like these so I took a chance. Sorry Amazon and Beadalon but I won't purchase these again. | 1 |
Hey, it's gesso. Lots of it at a good price. I did up a bunch of cheap Dick Blick canvas boards, all at once and have been working through them. Goes on smooth, good coverage. | 5 |
A project that burned up in planning stage. Tubbs Fire, Santa Rosa, CA, October 9, 2017. I know nothing about quality or usefulness. Sorry. | 1 |
Came as expected & no more rolling beads! Keeps everything in place just as it says :-) . . . | 5 |
Lovely bright colors to use in all your projects. Fun to color outside the lines and cut your images out. These are new colors and I haven't seen them in the craft stores yet. You will enjoy using them. I call them uptown crayons. | 5 |
these are amazing. very great quality and I used the round tip for a tree branch painting it it turned out fantastic. | 5 |
I use these scissors daily to work on my sewing crafts. They are wonderful to use, stay sharp and are very comfortable and gentle on my hands. | 5 |
Great product, I always have some Fray Check in the house to stop a tear or a ravel. | 5 |
These work good since they stick on. Darrell | 4 |
Stamps well, good design. | 5 |
I bought this yarn for my 90 year. old mom who wanted to make an afghan for me. I think the colors are really pretty. There's mostly yellow, two shades of green, purple, blue and fuchsia. My mom loves to crochet even though she only remembers how to do double crochet.
My mom loved working with this self striping yarn. She said it was fun. It's relatively soft although I think a knitted afghan would be softer.
I will post a picture as soon as I know this review has gone live.
I will treasure this afghan forever! | 5 |
This is one of the best Glimmer mist on the market!! Love it and it makes my cards look beautiful! Never clogs and it gives you a nice mist! | 5 |
Absolutely beautiful old-fashioned stamp. Great for pictures or card making! | 5 |

Perfect size, great quality, good price. I really like this pad. | 5 |
