Love this glue. Great for non-wrinkling paper when gluing on cards and such. Extra just rolls off like rubber cement, but without the smell or mess. | 5 |
Use it all the time, great tool. | 5 |
Work great. Will be buying this again. | 5 |
great assortment | 5 |
As expected, nice colors. | 5 |
Always great . I only purchase these as sketch pencils .. And I will again. But I do need the bigger set | 5 |
I really like this because it has so many different colors. | 5 |
Exactly as described. | 5 |
this is amazing | 5 |
a top quality kolinsky sable brush for water media at a phenomenal amazon price! Does not get much better. You may prefer a Winsor Newton series 7,but it's not a better brush. At that level it is a matter of preference,not a qualitative distinction.
once again, along with the great amazon price comes scary amazon shipping.
Two very expensive brushes were shipped across country in a padded envelope with no packing material,no reinforcement in the envelope to prevent crushing. Not even a "fragile" label to help ensure gentle handling.
Time and again I am puzzled as expensive items are recklessly packed while inexpensive items are sometimes overpacked?
Packaging feedback at amazon.com is purported to help them improve shipping/packing methods. While I appreciate amazon in many ways,after all the feedback received (from me and I am sure many many others) and no improvements I am starting to believe that the packaging feedback goes to a virtual shredder and that it serves only as therapy for frustrated customers to vent! | 5 |
WIFE LOVES | 5 |
This is very nice. Beautiful color combo with Buff. Very soft and great to work with. | 4 |

FYI...some genius has allowed all the Q&A's, reviews and ratings for 6 DIFFERENT products (all manufactured by the Aleene company) so if you are interested in a specific product, all the info is lumped into one mess, so good luck researching the specific product that you want info on....ALSO the star reviews are bollocks as they too are all combined, so they are useless. Idiots! | 1 |
A friend of mine loves to paint so I always get her art supplies as gifts. I got her these brushes along with some paint and she was quite pleased. These brushes are great quality and are fantastic for any painter. | 5 |
These simple tools work and they work very well. I bought the 1" and like the ease of use so much, I bought this also. I am an advanced sewer. | 5 |
very good. | 5 |
Fits perfectly, good quality, and nice looking. Perfect transaction, thanks so much | 5 |
work good | 5 |
perfect for my project | 5 |
Love these | 5 |
I use these for plant markers out in the garden! Work great for that! | 5 |
This was a great investment. The wax melts easily and relieves of using a hot kettle to melt wax over the stove. | 5 |
cute | 5 |
Fabulous set of paints with a variety of colors. I purchased mine for Gelli printing, and they are wonderful! I think next time, however, I would purchased a larger set that includes that Medium Pink color! | 5 |
love all the project life photo pocket pages, i use them for traditional scrapbooking and i just adore them! really good quality, fast shipping! | 5 |
I made 100 Save The Date magnets for an anniversary party and a bumper sticker for my hubby's car. The magnet works well. There is a bit if a waste factor because of the way the Xyron feeds, so order more than you think you need. It works great. | 5 |
Ho hum. Nice little touches like a brush holder, ribbon page marker,and back pocket. Paper is just a little smoother than the moleskin which seems to be about the same as Strathmore 400. Series watercolor paper. I have not tried either one so I will have to update this then. I would not bother with this again. It is not sown nicely like the moleskin. I am worried it will come apart before I ever finish it. | 3 |
great item shipped fast, well packet. Thanks! | 5 |
Arrived in good condition. There are 100 needles in this pack for a great price. They are sharp and work wonderfully. I need to buy different sizes. | 5 |
I took off a star because I don't like the feel of the wood on the blender. I can't explain it... something tactile maybe only to me. I use them but like other blenders better. The burnisher is nice and I use that more than the blender. | 4 |
Exactly what I needed at a good price. | 5 |
Awesome | 5 |
Love the consistency | 5 |
Thanks | 5 |
Very good quality | 5 |
I have bought a lot of beads and rondelles from this company. The quality is superb and the delivery is always on time or early. The prices can't be beat!!! I strongly suggest that you give this company a try - they don't disappoint!! | 5 |
As advertised | 5 |
These are great. The bags are bigger than most. The colors are bright. | 4 |
nice stamp and die | 4 |
Love it | 5 |
Love these, knotted beautifully and the perfect addition to my collection. Bead count is correct and fast shipping. | 5 |
I am happy that my vellum tape is here | 5 |
Good punch | 3 |
Love it. | 5 |
This is the best that I have purchased. Each and every piece works like a charm. The case keeps the art kit supplies in order and easy to just pull out when I have a creative moment. Great Kit. | 5 |
good product | 5 |
Love WOW fine embossing powder. | 4 |
This was the first corner adorner punch I ever bought and I love it! The punch creates a lovely design. I didn't know anything about them until I watched a tutorial on YouTube. There's so much you can do besides making fancy corners. You can make fancy Photo Mats for your Scrapbook photos, rather than simply place them on the page with a plain cardstock mat. I did that and made cards with a decorative front to slip in a photo or greeting (on a folded card, you turn the punch upside-down to get into the corners by the fold). You can also remove the guide and make other items. I've made pretty circles with these punches. It's a bit tricky but not complex if you watch the videos.
Be sure to look for the punches that have the removable guide or you'll be limited to corners. | 5 |
It is in great condition!!! I love it and can not wait use it!!! It is very useful! yes it is | 5 |
high quality I'm pleased | 5 |
these were perfect. nevere get the plastic ones! | 5 |
Loved the picture but again was disappointed by the quality of the pencils. Threw them out and switched to Prismacolor pencils. Nice results. | 3 |
Not as sharp as I thought it would be. I do like the handle which fits my small hands nicely. | 3 |
I looked high and low for a long self striping yarn that was a prism or rainbow color way and this fit the bill. I was surprised at how soft and easy it is to work with, and it didn't get too ratty looking (for roving) when I pulled out my work to start over. | 5 |
Works great at coloring silicone. My use is limited, but I found it more than adequate. Would be nice if they sold just the individual tubs, as I only needed one color, and at around 30 bucks for the sampler, it was burdensome to have to buy all the excess. Also, follow the instructions. "A little dab will do you" is perfectly correct. | 5 |
I ordered this etching cream because it was listed for a pretty fair price. When it arrived, though, I opened the bottle and took the cover off there was no foil seal on the top of it. I have never purchased this before, so I'm not completely sure whether it was supposed to have a seal or not, but it did really surprise me that it didn't. The bottle was also not filled to the top which was also a not what I expected, but again, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be all the way full. I have not had the chance to try the product itself, but so far I'm kind of disappointed.
(The picture attached isn't that great of quality, but it is a picture of how the bottle of etching cream arrived) | 2 |
This beading tray is perfect in every way. The caps should be tight so as not to open and spill beads all over. Solution stick 4-5 popsicle sticks under the pegboard in the space below along with tweezers or a beading pen and voila complete kit. Just pop the caps open with them. As Eloise would say "I absolutely love, love, love it!" | 5 |
This clover awl is great. It makes hole that are not too big and I can use it for working with fabric and weaving...then crochet in the holes created. Great tool for freeform fiber art. | 5 |
Lovely thread is consistent and sew perfect on the material... | 5 |
Love all the cricut products! | 5 |
Their good hand stitching needles. Basic tool. | 4 |
Edit: Looks like they've changed the instructions for filling up the pen which is better than before.
If you're a traveling watercolorist looking for a flat wash brush then look elsewhere.
When I opened up the package and took the pens out, the pen cap hook on the largest brush broke off. Since they're round and are prone to rolling around your work surface I usually snap on the cap onto the back. However, the pen caps don't even snap onto the back of the brush - they fit but they're too loose and slide off the end, so the pens just keep rolling away while I'm working on my painting and that's not good at all.
Also, compared to my other Pentel and Derwent waterbrush, these seem extremely hard to squeeze refill. The first time when I unscrewed two of the brushes, only one of them had the black plug on it and the other two didn't. Not having that black plug squeeze thing actually made it extremely easy to refill like the Pentel and took me less than 5 seconds, while squeeze-refilling took me around 1 1/2 minutes which irritated me a lot. Plus the pens are long, and I usually don't have any jars that damn tall at my house, and I highly doubt I'll have one when I'm traveling too.
One thing I really like is how the brush mimics the spring of a real brush by having the end of the brush glued to this sponge. One thing I don't like the largest brush's "spring" mechanism is broken because the synthetic brush ends aren't attached to the sponge, thus not having the effect. I can work around it, but it'd just be better with the spring.
It's handy for sure, but a LOT can be improved. | 3 |
Works really well for making jewelry. | 5 |
I loved all the colors, but each spool only completes about one medium sized sewing project. | 4 |
I use these stickers in my planner and it's a fun addition to my layouts! They are sticky and are well made. I have never had a problem with them. | 5 |
Keeps the brushes all nice and organized. I need several of these for Acrylic & Oil brushes as I have - starter brushes, mid-production brushes & finish brushes for both mediums. | 5 |
Perfect | 5 |
This is a fun set. You can enjoy copic markers with this set for a relatively low price for copics. You can't do the three color blending thing that so many seem to enjoy, but if you want to do some shading with these, get a neutral grey (I use N4 a lot) and use it under the various colors for shadowing, I personally think it looks a bit more realistic than the three tone method. You also really should experiment with 'mixing' the various colors in this set with each other by layering one over another. You will find out its a whole lot more colors than it seems to be. Especially because switching the order that you layer them in changes the resulting color slightly.
There aren't any flesh tones, if you like to color people, the brown is actually quite useless for the darker skin tones of humans, it's too red. Look around the internet for tips on good markers to buy for skin colors. It depends on what color of people you would like to depict,of course but there are tips all over and youtube is the best for teaching you how to handle copics.
Some hints: store the copics flat to avoid them leaking too much, usually into the cap (there doesn't seem to be a way to totally prevent this) but sometimes on your drawing or coloring. When they do leak, which they always do, into the cap, clean it out with alcohol on a q-tip or you are going to get that problem where the cap either won't open or won't close. If one does squirt onto your drawing (or preferably, before it does, try them on another piece of paper first), solve the problem by taking off the caps on BOTH ends and letting it lie flat for maybe a minute. this seems to regulate that every time. I'm putting this information here as from what I see online, the benefits of copics are touted all over and the drawbacks are NEVER mentioned, though when you google a specific problem (i.e, the leaking into the cap thing) you soon find that you are far from the only person who has had an issue with this.
I do love my copic markers and I think that the way they blend and the way they go smoothly on paper makes up for the issues with them. I look forward to reusing them for many years with refills. However, I think I ought also to mention that they are not the only good brand out there and that they are actually compatible with other good brands, such as prismacolor markers, which I also love (and I love that you don't get the messy caps with those, although you also don't get the refills). Mixing the two kinds (and probably some others, though I haven't gone there yet) is not only cost effective,but gets you different kinds of colors, Prismacolor markers are brighter and more vibrant than Copics. But they blend together with them smoothly and super well.
You can also layer colored pencils on top of Copics for beautiful effects. Look that up on youtube too.
So you don't really NEED to spend $600 on the complete Copics, either all at once or over time (though you may want too). I've got this set and about six other copics plus six prismacolor markers and there is no color I can't get in several shades using those 24 (which include several flesh tones and some of the greys in both sets). And no, I'm not a professional or very experienced artist.
So if you use these right, they CAN work for you without your 'having' to spend. Good luck. | 5 |
The C Plate is great for embossing folders with your Cuttlebug. I especially use it with the All In One folders. Great for projects like card making, photos, etc. Great fun! | 5 |
OK, I bought but I've never been able to look through something like this, a microscope, binoculars, or such things. I always see my reflections of my eyelashes and it distracts me from what I am trying to do. | 5 |
Very good and consistent guidelines but paper is rough and not fun to practice on. I use it mainly under my blank papers. | 3 |
Horribly toxic stuff. Received as gift. Didn't work very well in any case. When my toddler figured out how to get in our art cabinet he took a bite. I then realized it does not say non-toxic on package. No information on the Pentel website product page. I looked up the Material Safety Data Sheet which said: "Small amounts swallowed are not harmful. Get medical attention if large amounts swallowed." Then I read the ingredients: Paraffin 7-16%, Ethyl Acetate 8-10%, and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) 35-40%. Horrifying! I have worked hard to keep phthalates (typically in PVC products, fragrances, etc.) out of our house because they are carcinogenic, endocrine disrupting, and cause reproductive harm. I had just been reading the European Union only allows phthalates in products at a concentration of 0.1%, and here this has 35-40%! Wish the US regulations would protect our children! Disgusting. | 1 |
Very strong tape. Does what it says. I will purchase again. | 5 |
The product is exactly as described and was delivered on time. The thread colors are vibrant and strong. I've had no issues with breakage or fraying. It's packaged very well and includes a color code chart. I would purchase this product again and would recommend it to others. I'm thrilled with this purchase and the beautiful range of colors! | 5 |
Very nice. I use these for acrylics | 5 |
Easy to use and perfect for me | 5 |
I was expecting stronger elastic. This stuff if SUPER stretchy and can barely hold the weight of a slightly heavy bead. Also it came in 7 rolls instead of one big spool of string. Disappointed overall | 3 |
Love | 5 |
These decorative papers are so dainty. They are ideal for many of my craft endeavors. | 5 |
This is a nice art desk with storage space and an adjustable table. My daughter has been using it and she enjoys it. Its great for drawing or using as a desk for school work. | 5 |
I like the option of having to flip it to use the other side.
TIP: Make sure to store it laying FLAT. | 5 |
Works great and is easy to use. Will purchase again when needed. | 5 |
Work as expected. | 3 |
Lovely honey amber color beads in 6mm to 8mm size. Perfect for my project. | 5 |
I love this yarn. I received it only yesterday and not on Monday because of the local courier. Thanks a lot | 5 |
Very nice price and amount of cordage for the price.
Perfect size for my projects!
Arrived super fast that I didn't have to wait long to start making things.
I'll definitely be back for more when I run out! | 5 |
These hoops are amazing! They are very sturdy and a must have for your PE770. They arrived just as promised. I am very happy with my purchase. | 5 |
Love these shiny things!! | 5 |
Pretty fun! Holds up well in the wash | 5 |
Great applicator for my distress inks. The handle is easy for my small hand to hold, making it perfect for application! | 4 |
These are the greatest things since sliced bread. So simple yet work perfectly. I don' know how I did without them. | 5 |
I am forever throwing away partially use glue bottles - these will give a variety of uses without having to buy the larger bottles. Great merchandising, Aleene's! | 5 |
Great product and fast delivery | 5 |
This product does exactly what it says it will. I used it to fix a charging cord and it has held up like new again! | 5 |
Works greast! Easy to use for applique! | 5 |
It works! doesn't wrinkle your paper. I apply it with a flat brush and its great! I will always buy it. | 5 |
I do recommend the precision of this item, very good for sewing | 5 |
My girls really enjoy using this paper - it works wonderfully with the pastels I bought them. Thanks for the service. | 5 |
I am just beginning buying dies for my big shot. What a great die to have in your collection. It is small, but you can use it in many ways. Good solid construction. | 5 |
