A must have sharpener for my Prismacolor pencils...makes a very fine point two side so one for hard and one for soft core | 5 |
My teen artist loves these for adding pearlescent on top of her watercolors. Some have stronger pigment that other but a great set to have. | 5 |
I love Kona solids. This jelly roll has a beautiful graduated color scheme in pinks, yellows and greens. | 5 |
love it!! | 5 |
Nice items, very good price....highly recommended....buy it...!!! | 5 |
I didn't pay attention when I ordered this item. The Dritz Cone Holder in my local store has metal poles, not plastic and is heavier. I looked only at the price. | 1 |
While the hat hoop does a good job of flattening out the hat brim, this set up does not in any way fit with my Singer Quintet hoops. The Singer hoops are too large for the hat hoop to grab on. The bonus thread is lovely and works well. What a shame the hat hoop and sock hoop do not fit. | 1 |
It's a little thinner than most sock yarn but I used it for a shawl. Might go down a needle size for gauge. I bought the white - a lovely shade of bright white, just what I was looking for. | 5 |
Want to try out some things before investing 70 dollars in a gallon of medium? That's what this set is perfect for. You will get to play around with some of the most popular mediums before committing to a large order.
Regular Gel (Semi-Gloss) - This is a moderately thick gel that has a "satin" appearance when mixed with pigment. On it's own, it will dry clear and satin. Holds moderate peaks and brushwork, but nothing extreme. Great for wet on wet blending. Creamy consistency similar to heavy body acrylic. Great for extending paints and preserving the heavy body 'out of the tube' texture.
Soft Gel (Gloss) - A staple! Clear drying, glossy, spreads easily. Does not hold peaks or brush strokes all that well but that's not what it is intended for. This will give your paint a vibrant, glossy appearance. Also makes a GREAT isolation coat before varnishing with satin or matte varnish (2 parts gel to 1 part water). This is a must have in your acrylic arsenal. It's thinner than heavy body paint, but far from "liquid".
Extra Heavy Gel (Matte) - A matte gel that holds stiff peaks and brushwork. You can build up a lot of texture with this. I prefer Extra Heavy Gel Gloss personally - but every "kit" needs a matte. If you're looking for a heavy Satin you can mix 1 part Soft Gel Gloss to 3 parts Extra Heavy Gel medium. This is absolutely the thickest gel outside of high solid gels. Perfect for impasto.
Light Molding Paste - In my opinion, makes a great ground for painting. If you mix pigment with it they WILL bleach out and you will end up with pastels so be warned. This would be perfect to use as a ground for staining with liquid acrylic as opposed to piling on heavy body as it would just be covered up and lose it's great qualities. You could use this to make some great "fresco" style paintings.
Clear Tar Gel - Great for throwing, flinging, and pouring! With a drop or two of liquid pigment, can make great fine lines when dripped off of a palette knife. If you add a bit of heavy body colour, it becomes great for pouring but not so good for flinging. It will have a glossy sheen when dry.
Coarse Pumice Gel - This is exactly what it sounds like. It's a rocky greyish medium that takes pigment well. If you stop mixing before the mixture is homogenized you will get great results with the natural colour showing through. This has limited uses and requires a bit of practice to use well but can be very fun and visually striking.
This is not exactly what I would put in a kit*, but it is a great starter kit at a great price. It gets a 4 star from me only because a couple of the mediums are only occasionally useful. I could see them sitting on a shelf collecting dust, which really isn't a great use of money.
If *I* were making a kit I would suggest:
Soft Gel (Gloss), Regular Gel (Matte), Heavy or Extra Heavy Gel (Gloss), Clear Tar Gel, Crackle Paste (crackles when dry if it has no pigment mixed in, if you mix in pigment the cracking is less to virtually non-existent and it mimics the appearance of Modeling paste instead), Self Leveling Gel.
It's all personal preference and really depends on what kind of work you do but I am never without a gallon of the aforementioned in my studio. | 4 |
Really cute Penny Black stamp | 5 |
as described and quick delivery | 4 |
Wow, this is a great set for anyone who needs more ideas for birthday crafting.
Not only is this an embosing folder, but you get a die cut that also cuts perfect words to embellish your work. I will be looking for more combination sets of embossing and die cutting. Excellent creativity and value ! | 5 |
I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I have always used the metal ones, and dang, where have these been all my life! I absolutely love the Bamboo handles!
This set comes with 10 Hooks, but they are in millimeters instead of letters, which is something only America does, uses letters. This set includes the tiny hooks in mm's, you get 0.75, 1.00mm, 1.25mm, 1.50mm, 1.75mm, 2.00mm, 2.30mm, 2.50mm, 3.00mm, and 3.50mm, but in America they would be A-E. These would be perfect for making washcloths, doilies, or mittens, maybe even a baby scarf! I love making wash cloths! I make all my own wash clothes! I'm in the middle of making one! I'll show you when I'm done! These handles are amazing! I need a set in a bigger size now, so I can do my hats and adult scarfs for the winter! Highly recommended!

I like this product will order again | 5 |
I really like these Chalk Markers: Most recent use -- advertising Easter service times by writing on the glass doors at the Methodist Church.
My teens had a great time decorating with crosses and flowers and bunnies, butterflies and other stuff!. Easy to clean off too! | 5 |
Love these Kuretake watercolor brush paints. The colors are vibrant and very pretty. You can use them on watercolor paper and they blend very well. | 5 |
I LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT TO HEAVY & EASY TO USE | 5 |
Nice triplits to do 3D. | 5 |
Love this tape | 5 |
This is very good for people looking for mindful distractions. I have health issues, and when I'm not feeling well, this requires a ton of focus, therefore bring a great distraction. I'm not sure how mine is turning out yet, I'm only about halfway finished, but I love the jewels, so I don't think I'd mind if it didn't have a design. | 5 |
great service. I got them quickly. it works like a charm holding the die cuts still | 5 |
Thank you so much not only for the awesome item, but also for the speedy delivery & I would definitely order from you again in the future! Thank again, Lily | 5 |
Glue arrived dried into a solid chunk in the bottle. Completely useless. | 1 |
Love these, great colors, made nice necklaces in different shades and hues | 5 |
I love this zipper foot. I bought it to use on my new Singer 9960 Quantum Stylist machine. The zipper foot that comes with the machine is too wide and does not work with my time proven method of installing zippers. This foot is narrow and awesome! | 5 |
Having tools is a must when making jewelery. I haven't tried any other but these work good for me. Try it! | 4 |
Very useful tool for constructing various sizes of flying geese. | 5 |
Great cord for making sturdy, natural looking crocheted baskets. I was inspired by some baskets I saw in one of those cool import stores. | 5 |
Had a slight burr on it, but smoothed out. Works so much better than the one that comes with the boards. Nice clean score lines! | 5 |
Great yarn and easy to work with. Love it! | 5 |
just the right tool I needed | 4 |
I love these spacers. | 5 |
I wouldn't call this item perfect but if you follow some advice on youtube then you can get good results. | 4 |
I love my opaque pens!!! Great colors and really fun to pair them with other media and try them on various paper and surfaces. My journal is kicked up a notch now that I've added these to my arsenal. The tips are holding up to plenty of use - they have a good point for finer lines, and work well for filling when you tilt and use and the side more. They dry quickly and cover really well! | 5 |
My colour pins are housed on the Tomato Pin cushion and look nice. I cannot live without the pins when working on projects. The quality is good! | 5 |
These are great for oils! | 5 |
I've been using these scissors on sewing projects for months now and they are the best I've owned so far. THey remain sharp and give me a very clean cut line, cutting through most cloth very easily. | 5 |
Just used them to fill a small size clear vase with artificial flowers. | 5 |
Great product.. | 5 |
Love it. Really helps me keep track of rows. | 5 |
Product is as per description. Delivery was fast. | 5 |
very nice. I will like it even more once I finish it. | 5 |
They run a bit large and will slip off your finger if it isn't the right size. I purchased as a back up and am very pleased. Extremely comfortable. | 4 |
Five Element - 20x-12mm / 10x-18mm magnifiers
Great little set of magnifiers - perfect for those times you need to see something that your regular magnifying glass just can't enlarge enough. Two small lenses - one magnifies 10x (10 times) and the other 20x (20 times). Not the highest quality of construction, but not the worst either - but for less than $10, can you really expect them to be the same as ones costing 4 ~ 5 times the amount these cost? For most adults this unit should last a long time, if you're buying them for use by young children - the set will probably be broke in a very short period of time. The unit comes in a handy little plastic storage box. | 5 |
Nice product, appears as it does in the pictures. Arrived on time with no problems. Needs lots of coats if you're painting over black boots like i was. Use sponge brushes rather than regular paint brushes. Definitely read the instructions and wait before applying a second coat. One bottle could paint one pair of small shoes but for boots you might need 2 bottles. | 4 |
wife ordered it | 3 |
Just love these needles! The handles are large and get warm when you use them. This is a big plus when you have arthritis! | 5 |
these are really cute rondelles to work with, just need to find a little bit bigger ones. Either way they are beautiful | 5 |
It should have been a full frame embroidery. Much of the picture is left unembroidered. | 3 |
Great product, cuts well. | 5 |
Trustworthy | 5 |
If you're buying these, im sure you know what you're looking for. The quality is as to be expected from KAM snaps (WAYYYY better than babyville) and the colors are great. This set comes with 250 pairs so lots of projects can be completed! Comes as pictured. | 5 |
I love these pencils. The general makes a really great soluble graphite pencils for a great price. They are very long and create beautiful shadows and washes. Highly recommend these. | 5 |
It was my fault that I ordered the wrong product as I thought this was crochet yarn. But the colors were very pretty. | 2 |
These aren't the ones I ordered but they are the ones that were sent. Excellent. Strong magnetic connections. Nothing to push to close. The thing in the center merely fits in the depression the other side. You do have to line them up but I find they almost grab each other. | 5 |
I was hesitant to buy these, but a Craftsy video recommended them. I caved. Never had scissors so sharp! Love them. The weird thing is that the blue part is flexible. It is fine, I think, but it is weird. | 5 |
I am happy with the yarn and the price. | 5 |
This wasn't what I expected but I used the material any way | 4 |
Perfect for sewing a consistent 1/4" seam for quilting projects. | 5 |
Cuts perfectly. It's the same size as a standard tea cup. It include the tea tag as well. I am using them for a Mother's Day tea party. Perfect use for your doubled sided card stock. I plan to fill them with either small tea biscuits or table mints. Great investment. | 5 |
Good paint | 4 |
Have ordered this multiple times. | 5 |
It took some trial and error to get the heat setting right with my iron. Too hot temps to not release the glue and too cool temps releases nothing. I have to add two layers to get enough glue to set down. | 3 |
Saw these and thought what a great idea. I paint with acrylics, so decorating them will be fun and I plan to give the finished item for Christmas presents. I have lost so many hand sewing needles in my pin cushion (a Bermuda Triangle pin cushion), now I will have a secure place to save them. | 4 |
I bought this ruler to repace the one I had with no grips underneath. It does the job well. | 5 |
Gave to a teen as a gift. She loved it!!! Esp. the two purpose pen!! | 5 |
good purchase | 5 |
These are a very good item they look good and work well as you make your items. This product adds the finishing touch and looks good. | 5 |
Fast shipping great product. fresh. | 5 |
I first used this at my tailors shop at work and love the way you can press the lines right out.!!!! | 5 |
At first,I was having a problem getting the blocks to cut completely around. I checked with a friend who had the same die, and she told me to have the angled side go through the cutter first. It seems putting the straight side in first did not work well for some reason. The suggestion worked, and I was able to cut a whole quilt's worth of blocks in no time at all. I have since pieced and quilted the project. The blocks went together very well because of the way the corners were trimmed and it was easy to line up the blocks. | 4 |
There were so nice. I can't wait to buy more, great price! They are beautiful and will make fine necklaces! | 5 |
Nice size and thickness | 4 |
This yarn is a terrific yarn for loom knitting (just use double strands), and it made a terrific loom knit blanket. I would buy this product again. | 4 |
Wish it was 1" larger but worked good on med. hoop | 3 |
A quick economical way to make a stamp quickly. | 5 |
I got this Spellbinder Die from Amazon and have used it several times today making cards for the family. I love it! Such precision is beyond me. Get yours from Amazon today and start making gates that will amaze you. | 5 |
Skeins are very tiny. | 3 |
very nice stuff and goes through the printer much better than butcher paper. it is a little confusing which way to turn it. | 4 |
This is actually very nice vinyl. It is a little on the thin side and as stated before, it will not stick to transfer tape so a little difficult to transfer intricate or large designs. I used it in my Silhouette SD machine. It cut very easy with a 5 blade, 5 speed, and 20 pressure. But it adheres very well to the few things I have used it on. Glass and some of the metal drinking cups. All in all, I would order it again. I do wish the different colors included were listed because there is one weird silver with green polka dots that I don't really see being used. | 3 |
Always great quality | 5 |
Great for somethings but the ones we applied around phone charger cords have cracked all the way around. Also black stains your hands | 3 |
I use this type of pin when I am joining two or more heavy layers where quilting pins just won't cut it. As expected! | 5 |
Beautiful new design in a quality punch. This is a set of two punches that can be used individually as a border or decorative punch; or, used together to form a continuous border around your paper. | 5 |
These work wonderfully with my sewing machine (Brothers). Plenty of bobbins and a secure case to keep them all. Great price! | 5 |
Great die. Poinsettias look so real. | 5 |
I have lots of birthday cards to make......LOVE IT | 5 |
Fun to play with! | 5 |
Not so sticky for my paper project. Idk. | 2 |
I just love the colors!!!! Super bright and even though they are small I love the colors and what can do | 5 |
work fine! | 4 |
This things is AMAZING. It's really a must-have for all crafters, but it's also something every household with school-age children needs because it's a tool that can be used for all the various projects/signs/whatever that inevitably arise.
As of today, May 7, 2016, Amazon's price is around $45, which I wouldn't want to pay, although the tool is worth far more, in my opinion. I can't go into too much detail about where I purchased mine because Amazon has pulled my previous EIGHT attempts to let people know where to get it for a better price (I got mine for $20.15, shipping included), so what I will say is to search around, and when you find a better price, search for coupon codes for whatever site you find. Amazon has done price matching before for me, so you might try that, too. I wish I could be candid about where to look, but my review will not get posted. | 5 |
So sparkly!!! They're going to look excellent on the bracelets I'm making. | 5 |
Same good quality as usually produced by this brand. As it is 100% cotton the navy colour isn't quite as intense as other fibres but certainly fibe for what I need. | 4 |
20 pieces of angel wings charm beads in tact and I like them. | 5 |
Like the way it keeps bob in together so I don't have to hunt all over the Sewing room looking for the tread or bovine. | 5 |
Very nice but not as sparklie as the other colors. You can barely see the sparkles in it but it serves its purpose. | 4 |
This became my favorite tape measure! High quality and durable. | 5 |
very happy! | 5 |
I absolutely love these beads! Beautiful array of colors. Love the size and shape. I also ordered them in 4, 6, 8 and 10mm. All but the 6mm are out of stock right now so I know these beads in all sizes are a hot commodity for a beginner like myself, as well as the seasoned beader. I would certainly recommend them! A perfect addition to my growing collection. Update: I received today the 3 other sized sets I ordered. Very satisfied! I'm sure I will be ordering more of these in the future. Just received another set of the 4 mm size. I cannot stress enough how happy I am with the beautiful beads! They make up a majority of the earrings I have made so far. I will continue to purchase these as needed. Definitely a keeper! | 5 |
