These are to thick and uncomfortable on your finger. :( | 1 |
I was so excited to get these. I ordered a set of watercolors in a .5 oz tube and thought it would be good to have a palette style set as well, but I didn't wa to spend a lot of money. These were not the least expensive, but also not the most. So I thought that would mean I would get pretty decent quality for a low cost set. These are better an expected. I used them today and made a color chart. The colors are bright and vivid. They look great as wet on dry, wet on wet, wash, and fine lines. The art is compact and the little palletes are half pallets. The only thing I notice is these are not removable. So I don't believe you can replace a color when they run out. I like the compact size. It will easily fit in my purse for use when waiting in the doctors office, or use on trips. It also comes with an extra tray for mixing colors. The only two colors that I wasn't totally impressed with vividness is the ivory black and the raw/burnt umber. Not sure which umber it is. Anyway, those I had to add a couple layersnto get the dark vivid color that I wanted. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase! I will purchase again. Great for e beginner or amateur artist, or professional artist that needs a compact set on the go. | 5 |
It works! Good price and I like that it has a safety cap | 5 |
Sorry, but this is a real POS. I had to hire someone to put it together and it took him 3 hours. After it was put together,
it was wonky. I bought this model because I like the shelf and also have to have an easel that is flat for water color.
Getting it to be flat is a pain with multiple adjustments. I'm thinking about putting it out for the garbage engineer. | 1 |
great for making pom-poms | 5 |
Soooooooo small!!! At $12 for the set, these are waaaaaaay overpriced! So tiny, all 24 rolls are about the equivalent of MAYBE 4 regular washi rolls. The designs are cute, but I got it to cover the divider lines in my happy planner, and they are far far too small for that! :( So bummed! | 2 |
Needed to use for a specific quilt. Glad I found here. | 5 |
Gonna buy again in some time | 5 |
Nice, thick, and strong. I use these for making jewelry and they work great for charms because the larger size allows them to dangle easier. They also work well for my cork bottle key chains. Will purchase again when I start running out of them. | 5 |
Very impressed, great quality, shipped in great condition. Will buy agaiin from this vendor. | 5 |
Had A Hard Time Finding This Color Since A Store Deified To Close In My Area. So Glad I Found It On This Site. Making A Queen Size Blanket For Me And My Baby. | 5 |
Working great for ceramic slips. | 5 |
GOOD PRICE, GOOD QUALITY | 5 |
Bought for a geology class but never used it. Came in a nice case. | 4 |
It is truly different from those in ordinary stores | 5 |
I crochet a lot and although a lot of colors are essential to me, black and white yarn are a must to have on hand at all times. Red heart is perfect for me because most of the things that I crochet are amigurumi and they use a variety of colors so sometimes it's best to stick to one brand for that project so it doesn't look weird in the end. But, overall, Red heart is easy to work with, and getting the jumbo saves money. | 5 |
Best transfer tape we've used! Plan to purchase more! | 5 |
I bought one case for my daughter and one for me.......we are both very pleased with the case, everything I expected it to be.
It is a tiny bit big, but that gives a space for the cords and footpad. | 5 |
Best scissors I have tried for ribbon and fabric! | 5 |
This pencil case meets and exceeds my expectations. Each slot holds four pencils and my pencils fit quite snugly into their slots. I'm very happy with it and will definitely recommend it to others. | 5 |
Great value, when you are making needle felt animals or people! | 5 |
Very pretty and good quality | 5 |
Clover quilting pins, Fine. Glass heads, great pins. Thanks. | 5 |
As usual Beadnova quality crystals never disappoint me. I tried these out for the first time for my jewelry making. The beads have a nice shine to them and none are defective in my package. The dark and bright colours both are lovely to suit different colour schemes. | 5 |
Good product, makes fussy cutting much easier. | 5 |
These are a great new addition to artist mediums. | 5 |
Gift for son. Seems pleased with product. | 5 |
Does what is says. Use in a garage that gets about as outside. I don't have a lot of weight on it, but even in cold temps it holds securely. Just wait the 15 minutes from putting on until using as the instructions say and it'll be fine. | 5 |
Exactly what you expect it to be. Rocking Beads Brand has great quality items. | 5 |
These little stitch markers are a big help, and colorful and fun to use in all sorts of ways. I love being able to color code as I mark stitch patterns. I have had no problem with them breaking...someone who wrote a little review of these online recommended closing them carefully by just putting pressure toward the top of the marker (where one piece slips into the other) rather than at the bottom. That really seems to work well. Love that the bright colors are so easily to see and keep track of. Good! | 5 |
I like the product but assembly was difficult for one person. Had to reinforce with super glu and duct tape in order to be sure it would hold together during use. | 3 |
Every beader needs at least one of these in their stash. | 5 |
Great colors. Wonderful product for many applications ranging from Yupo to watercolor and fabric. Easy to use. Well packed, Quickly shipped. A+++++++ vendor. Highly recommend. | 5 |
have used this and I'm really pleased with the results that
I got. Doesn't leave residue on fabric and washes off real
easy.
Thanks
Hope | 5 |
Very nice and uniform in size. | 4 |
Very happy with these | 5 |
First off, the instructions on the packaging are not very clear. Do yourself a favor and look up reviews on YouTube. Please.
Second, this thing works exactly as it should. I have no complaints. People saying to use sharp scissors aren't saying that for their own benefit. You can get through it very carefully with duller scissors but sharp ones would be MUCH better!
All in all it's a good product and I have no cons! | 5 |
use it and love the die cut | 5 |
This pen didn't work quite like I expected. Maybe in a different application than that which I tried it would be better. | 3 |
I have been using this adhesive remove for years now and it works great. Especially love it for removing the yearly license plate tag so much easier and great with removing stickers on glass or wood on everything. | 5 |
I was excited to purchase this transfer tape, but after using it for a couple of months I'm not sure I'd buy it again. My number one pet peeve is that the inch lines are OFF. Yep, they're not even. I mean, they are 1" apart, but they don't start at the bottom and go to the top (the 12" width) evenly. This has made it difficult for me to measure as I'm always having to calculate exactly what portion of the inch I'm on. For this reason I took off one star.
The other issue we're noticing on a very large project we did for Christmas gifts (24" x 9" Celebrate boards) was that on the 1" letters the transfer tape actually left adhesive after removal. We had to clean the top of each 1" vinyl letter with a Q-tip and a gentle orange cleaner to remove the adhesive. It was quite time consuming. We haven't noticed the adhesive on the thinner letters. I didn't think to get a picture of it. My spouse and I worked on laying the vinyl on the boards together, and we both had to work on removing the adhesive from the letters. I don't know why this happened on the larger letters and no the smaller. So weird!
I do like the 'feel' of this transfer tape when using it. The grid lines are very easy to see and follow. I just wished they were like a nice ruler and were even at the bottom. Is there a reason they're not? It looks to me like it just was off in the cutting process wherever these were made. It didn't occur to me to try to return them, because the transfer paper does work.
The jury is out on this one. We're making more of these darn celebration boards, as the project was MUCH larger than we expected! So I'll be sure to be checking all the vinyl for adhesive staying. | 3 |
I've only used a couple, but these afford so many opportunities to make cards! Love them! Only 4 stars because one of the verses had letters that didn't mold correctly. But I'm happy and would still recommend them! | 4 |
Worked great for a hat! | 5 |
Very nice especially this iron having a heat setting- I just love it | 5 |
I use this for my embossing projects. It's nice and big, and protects the surface underneath perfectly. | 5 |
Best blades ever | 5 |
Great yarn spinner for crocheting. But it only holds yarn cakes. Will not hold skeins of yarn or anything else. Just yarn cakes but I love it because its super convenient in keeping your yarn from tangling while crocheting. I glued a weight to the bottom to hold it in place better. Otherwise, it falls over easily because its very lightweight. Def Nicely recommend this if youknit or crochet. I regret not getting it sooner. | 4 |
Great quality, even better price!! | 5 |
Accidently bought two of these rolls and boy do we have a lot of craft paper now. I wanted it to wrap presents with it. I want to get away from all of the colored papers that are covered in ink and chemicals. Its pretty thick and was difficult to wrap with but it did the trick but I would not buy it for that purpose again. What I have ended up using it for is moving. Its great for wrapping things I want to protect for tour move. It is nice and thick and does not tear easily. | 5 |
this is so much simpler than pens | 5 |
Not that easy to cut yarn. I have to make sure the yarn is placed just so or it kind of tears. | 3 |
the problem is that the ink doesn't set ...it washes off..... I think that if your inkjet printer has a dye or pigment based ink it would be ok...the problem is that most people don't know or even care until something like this occurs | 3 |
Made a bracelet with this charm, my girl friend loves it! | 5 |
Great very happy | 5 |
This item is thin, fuzzy, heat proof, and flexible. The non-slip flocking increases hem accuracy by preventing fabric slippage. Since it doesn't slide, you need to hold it against the hem fabric and lift and tuck it into the fold, you can't slide the hem fabric upward as with traditional hemming aids. The notch allows perfect and fast measuring of 2"and 3" hems. Other sides suit 4", 5", and 6" hems. One corner is rounded for pockets or craft items. Oak tag or manilla folders become inaccurate as they soften from steam and use. Aluminum gets hot and corners bends if dropped on a hard floor. A longer, narrower hot hemmer is also available. Love mine! | 5 |
I expected these to be a fine mist but they're not. Disappointed. | 3 |
I keep ordering more and more of these. They are a necessity for my crochet and knitting projects, but I seem to give them away to other crafters who forget them, so I always need more! | 5 |
I really like the variety of sizes that come in this set. I have used them with my Sizzix BigShot for cardmaking and for crafts with the kids. The shape works for both Valentine's Day and put four together to make a shamrock for St Patrick's Day too. My kids and I have had a lot of fun making crafts with these shapes. The dies have cut cleanly on each type of paper I have used them on. I want to try them on some fabric too for making appliques, but I haven't gotten around to that. | 5 |
It wasn't the color I was looking for at the time.
But it is such a pretty color I will use it for making something else.
Fast Shipping!! | 5 |
Gave this as a gift and they were very happy with it. | 5 |
Love this wrap! Pencils fit great in here. Rolls up nicely. Is made great and hopefully will last a long time. Please make them longer! I would like 120 to 150 slots! Thanks | 5 |
I needed one charm to finish off a piece I was working on, but couldn't decide exactly what to use, this pack gave me many choices & after I completed my piece, it sold almost immediately. I also have many more charms to work with and am confident that I can create many unique items catering to a myriad of tastes with the mix of charms I got. | 5 |
I just ordered my second package of these stickers. I shook my head at the idea of anchoring the wick when I first started pouring jar candles, but even with the best wick-centering tools, they like to travel. I use these stickers to center the wick at the bottom of the jar. I still have to center the wick at the top, of course, but at least the wick tab can't float to the side of the jar. I cut the tabs in quarters to anchor smaller wicks (votive-size jars). | 5 |
Worked great for needle felting some eyes on crochet toys. | 4 |
Arrived as described and I am happy with this product - thank you! | 5 |
This small and handy pillow makes my stamping with VersaMark so much easier. Just make sure to keep in a plastic bag or your whole drawer/container will be covered with powder. | 5 |
These are NOT paper washi tape. They are fabric tape. Shipping took a very very long time. | 1 |
I ordered the Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Circles Die Template in large and used one of the dies tonight. They do as they say they will do. I still need to play around some more and see what else I can do w/them. I'm not sure what the difference is between the large and small. But this is my first Spellbinders Nestabilities set and I love it. | 5 |
With all the quilters out there I can 't believe it took so long for these to be invented. Binding a quilt can be a pain as it is so any help that comes along is welcomed. Can think of other uses for these clips as a crafter also. A great product. | 5 |
This is a great ruler to use for scrap buster. I am really enjoying using it. | 5 |
Title says it all: useless and uncomfortable. I cant recommend it. | 1 |
Of all the cheap sets I've bought, this is my favorite together with the Ohuhu. They color very smoothly for inexpensive pencils and have a lot of good colors. I like to have all different shades, and I found greens, grays, pinks and yellows that I like and didn't already have. And I have a lot of pencils! Great deal and I'm so glad I got them. | 5 |
Use these in my Babylock, Featherweight, and my 50 year old singer. Work very well with no problems. Will buy again. | 5 |
Nice pspers | 5 |
most of the colors don't show up well at least not on white paper | 2 |
This is the handiest tool. I use an embroidery machine and like to use matching bobbins. This
winds bobbins in no time . | 5 |
Awesome needle! Didn't purchase the set as I just wanted to try one needle. I have a lot of needles so I may just stop at this one. | 5 |
I like using this style tube in earings. The small inside diameter works well with the 22 guage wire I use. These beads do not detract or compete with the beading. | 5 |
just plain beautiful | 5 |
Boy, do I wish I had watched the video more carefully before I bought this kit. To make things worse, I first bought another shape of Fiskars "everywhere punch" before I learned that you need this starter kit to cut ANY shape. Now I am stuck with two of these miserable punches, which they will not allow me to return. Details: neither punch produces a usable shaped embellishment. They ONLY produce holes of that shape, and only do a semi-accurate job of guiding you to the spot where you want the hole. If you want the hole close to the edge of your paper (or to another hole), the cut is raggedy and uneven and impossible to overlay to correct it with a second effort. The three-holed magnets poke a messy, lumpy trio of holes in your punched shape so you can't even cover the cut product with another paper shape or embellishment in order to use it. What a waste of paper! Plus you get "shavings" from these 3 holes all over your worktable and clothes. Crafters are better off buying hand-held punches or even using a pencil and Exacto knife to get the shaped holes where they want them. I have other Fiskars tools that I love, but they really need to dump this fiasco from their line and go back to the drawing board. | 1 |
Product was just as advertised. Happy with this purchase. | 5 |
Rit is always great | 5 |
They are pipe cleaners. They work well. | 5 |
These are GREAT for coloring!!! I love adult color books, and this set is great with lots of colors and variations like glitters and brights. I use them in my card making and other craft projects as well! | 5 |
This product works well for my needs. Received nicely packaged. | 5 |
The thread is very smooth, packaged nicely and worked beautifully with my Brother embroidery machine! The thread is much better than I expected and I am very pleased! | 5 |
Nice yarn used for loom hat and crochet decorations for xmas tree | 4 |
Haven't used it yet but sure it will be beautiful. Item was as described and delivered on time. | 4 |
Adorable compliment to the crazy cats, birds and dog stamps. Makes creating a lot of fun! Got the thinlets to go with. | 5 |
Work great, blend easily. | 4 |
recieved the order in a timely fashion was very happy with it Its a fun and relaxing toy | 5 |
I'm just getting into adding color to my sketches, and it's been a long time since I used watercolors so the less expensive Cotman line is perfect for my budget and longevity needs. This unit is small, with all the colors I need for just about any kind of work I'm doing, with plenty of mixing space. The included brush is great for detail work, but I use a larger brush for the washes, even when just painting ACEOs. I like to keep my supplies handy, so the compact size of this is perfect, it fits in my everyday bag without issue. | 5 |
For the current price, I really don't think you can beat these canvases. Stretched and pre-primed unbleached cotton; they are great for a budding artist. Ive seen only a few others at a lower price, but they are certainly not of the same quality as these. I use them in a classroom setting, where students are ready to advance to this sort of canvas. Once complete the piece can either be framed, or simply hung. Hanging materials would need to be purchases separately, and are not included. | 5 |
If you want CLEAN cuts & a long lasting blade for your Cricut- then this is the kind you get. I love mine & have been cutting for a long time with it- very very happy with the tight clean cuts it consistently gives. Now if your mat is dirty with debris- that will affect it. So make sure your mat is kept clean & you'll get nice cuts every time. | 5 |
These are stunning watercolor glimmer paints! These can be used on all creative art projects and most paper brandsm | 5 |
Elmer's Wood-Craft Glue is probably the easiest way to repair ceramics (such as cups, dishes, vases, figurines, etc.). It is probably dishwasher safe (after at least a week of curing)---but I can't guarantee that. It is also terrific for wood-repairs, as intended.
STEPS
a> If the ceramic is very porous (i.e., if a drop of water dropped on the broken disappears immediately), then slightly moisten the broken surfaces before you apply the glue (the water will pull the white glue into the porous ceramic material).
b> Apply the glue, and spread it evenly (perhaps use a Q-tip).
c> Firmly press the pieces together to push out any excess glue.
d> Use a little pressure to hold the pieces together until the glue hardens.
>>> For a broken-off cup handle, arrange the cup on its side with the handle up, and secure with rubber bands.
>>> For a plate roughly broken in half, securely tape the largest half (broken edge up) to a vertical surface (ScotchBlue Painter's Tape, Multi-Use, 1.88-Inch by 60-Yard, 6-Roll). The weight of the top half (also taped in place after applying the glue) will suffice to provide enough pressure. For safety sake, you might want to use a stack of books, etc., to help hold the plate against the vertical surface.
>>> For a small cat figurine with an ear broken off, make a stand with blue painter's tape (small objects, cardboard, etc.) to securely hold the figurine at an angle, so that the break is horizontal, and the broken ear piece will stay in place by gravity. Use the weight of an object (such as a butter knife with one end held up by a stack of books) to apply gentle pressure to the "ear".
>>> In some cases small clamps, such as 6 Pack Heavy Duty Muslin Clamps 4 1/2 inch - Lot of 6 Clamps or mini bungy cords, such as Keeper 06051 10" Mini Bungee Cord, 4 Pack are useful for clamping pieces together while the glue hardens.
e> Let the glue dry for at least 4 hours---but you can wipe off excess at the edges before then if the edges are accessible.
f> Any excess white glue that squeezes out can be cleaned up within a few hours with a moist cloth (not a paper towel). If the glue has hardened, lightly scrub it with a moist cloth. It takes a minute or so for the moistened surface to soften. Be patient. Scrub, wait 15 seconds or so, and repeat, and repeat, until all the glue has been removed.
Note: It may take a week or longer for the glue to harden to its maximum strength.
ALTERNATIVES
The more common Elmer's White Household Glue is also great for repairing ceramics. The only shortcoming of white glue for ceramics is that it is water soluble---so you can't use it on cups, plates, vases, flower pots (etc) that might be soaked in water or put in a dishwasher---but white glue is perfect for decorative ceramics. The major advantage of White Household Glue (compared to Wood-Craft Glue) is that if you are not happy with your repair, you can soak the assembled piece in a container of water until it falls apart at the break, then brush off the softened white glue with a soft toothbrush, dry, and try again.
Elmer's also sells Elmer's E1012 China and Glass Cement 1-Ounce, which appears to similar to wood glue, but faster drying and a little thinner (so that the glue will pull the ceramic pieces closer together as they dry). It claims to be dishwasher safe, but many reviewers claim that it is difficult to use.
STRONGEST REPAIRS
> If you need to make a very strong waterproof repair (e.g., for glass jewelry). I suggest Goop. Amazing Goop All-Purpose Household Goop, 3.7-Ounce Tube #130012. However, it is easy to apply a little too much, which then squeezes out at the edges of the repair. Such excess material is hard to get rid of. It is best to let it dry a little (perhaps an hour) then cut/scrap the excess off, then use naptha or acetone to clean up any remnants.
> My wife has quite a few pieces of glass jewelry, which regularly break. If I apply too much glue, resulting in a small bead at the break, I do NOT attempt to "clean up" the excess. When dry, the bead is crystal clear and looks like part of the glass.
MISSING PIECES
White glue (or wood glue) shrink as they dry (which helps make the repair invisible, by pulling the edges together), and so are not good for filling holes. A little ordinary plaster or spackle (NOT lightweight spackle) is the best for filling holes. If you overfill a hole, you can very carefully sand-down the plaster with fine sandpaper. The plaster or spackle can be colored with a felt-tip marker to better match the color of your ceramic item. Caution, it is easy to make such recolored areas too dark, so apply a little color and let it dry (say, 15 minutes) before applying more. If the markers are water soluble, you can use a damp tissue to soak up some excess color if it's too dark. | 5 |

I absolutely love this paper. It is colorful, bright, and is excellent for mixed media work. I have torn it, used it whole, and added media to it. No matter what, it always looks great. | 5 |
I use this thread for reupholstering my daughter's antique chair cushions and it is fantastic. I used it on my juki tl-2000qi but it may be too heavy for a standard sewing machine so keep that in mind. | 5 |
gerat quality and great product, love making hand soap with my daughter. | 5 |
