Wow these are great. I was trying to use the original blade long after it needed to be replaced. I will never do that again. The replacement goes through several layers of material like butter! | 5 |
The jump rings are fine. It's the container they came in! Talk about worthless. It came with 4 opening tabs broken. Cheaply made! | 3 |
What can I say about the qualities of a stick? It is smooth, and sturdy! | 5 |
I'd never used glaze before but googled and got some great tips. I was working on a big flat surface - a large oval table top. It was wood with poly on it. The top was super ugly but it was attached to a really great vintage wrought iron base. Anyway, first I painted the table top with 6 very thin coats of Poppy Beyond Paint (love that paint!) and let each coat dry for 1 hour before the next one, then letting the whole thing dry/cure for just 24 hours. The wood grain still showed through, though the color was solid, which was exactly what I wanted. Latex gloves, wet paper towels and a wide paint brush was all I needed next. I worked very quickly, in sections, wearing gloves & painting the glaze on over the dry paint with the brush, and then using a wet paper towel, I smudged the glaze WITH THE GRAIN of the wood. After the whole table top was covered in glaze this way, I ran the wet paper towel from one long end of the table (again, with the grain) to the other, over and over, until I essentially had long streaks of glaze over the paint, with no smudges along the way. It naturally took on somewhat random glaze and paint dominant areas, which, again, was what I wanted. I let it dry 1 hour. Then I repeated the same process. I let those 2 coats of glaze dry for just 24 hours more before applying multiple coats of water based wipe on poly with terry cloth pads. Again, with the grain, and spreading from one long end to the other. 1 hour between coats. Four coats all together. It's been curing & I plan to let it cure for as long as I can manage it before we use the table for anything. Meanwhile, the bottom line: a formerly very tired looking table is now truly beautiful! Am eager to try glazing more things, using different techniques. Also, this is is a great color, especially if you like antiques. Even after just one project I can see that it's a neutral that can work over any color base coat you like to add dimension, age & subtle interest. And you can leave on as much or as little as you want. Great stuff! | 4 |
Pretty dove gray. | 5 |
My husband needed these to clean his airbrush. They work great. Shopping here is so much easier than running all over town. | 5 |
Perfect ruler for cutting 6x6 inch quilt squares. I love this item and I don't know what I would do without this. It really simplifies cutting squares for my quilts. It has any measurement markings you could possibly want including angles. | 5 |
Works great. Really looks nice. Well worth the money. | 5 |
I returned it but Now I think I should have kept it and learned from it. A big learning curve. | 5 |
I use it all the time, works great and save the white great on your watercolor paper | 5 |
The twistables are perfect for a child with fine motor skill issues to use with ease. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed and great price! | 5 |
Love having bobbins ready ahead of time for quilting. | 5 |
good stuff nice color combos | 5 |
I did not like this color. It's very odd. | 1 |
While I liked these needles, they were not comparable to the Skacel brand.
Why? Because the Skacels are shiny and the yarn just flows easily off from one end to the other without any effort.
The Susan Bates circular needle often requires the knitter to push the yarn to the end of a point to get the knitting to progress.
My latest project I used two sizes of circular needles by Susan Bates and Skacel and the difference was evident. | 3 |
Daughter needed this for art class. She said it worked great and was a great value. Perfect for her to take to class. | 5 |
nice brushes, soft, spreads paint nicely, has a nice feel.
update: the heads become loose after a week of sporadic use. try a different brand | 2 |
This is a great fabric paint set. The colors are vibrant and is still somewhat soft when it dries. The tubes make them easy to use. | 5 |
This is one of my favorite bead cord. Is stretchy and very strong. | 5 |
I love this little gadget, it's really made a huge difference in my quilting. | 5 |
I use these for fabricating jewelry. I put them in a honeycomb soldering board to keep my pieces in place. They work great and can take the heat. | 5 |
Works like a charm cutting intricate dies in my cuttlebug | 5 |
These are just as I expected -- I'd used all of the package I'd ordered earlier. I make greeting cards. | 5 |
Good quality + low price = satisfaction. What more can one ask for?!
These brushes do precisely what they are supposed to do - and they do it well. | 5 |
Items are decent quality and the case is nice, but they are very large! If you are wanting to carve very large pieces these might work, but we were unable to really even use them because of how large they are. Read measurements carefully. For someone wanting large chisels these seemed to be made well and look like they would last, but they do need to be sharpened further before any use. | 4 |
I do like it but was saddened that it took so long to receive...don't think I will purchase items coming from China...really didn't pay attention to where it was coming from at time of purchase...now I will pay more attention...I rather have things made in the USA anyway | 4 |
The eraser portion is terrible, but the brush is very convenient. I'll take it with me with my sketch book and my automatic eraser. | 3 |
very good product especially for the money | 4 |
Great starter kit for sketching and doing outlines for projects. Highly recommend. | 5 |
Ok. Cheap | 3 |
Works great for cutting paper and fabric. | 5 |
ok but I can buy it locally. | 3 |
This is the first time working with such a small stone, it is now my favorite size stone. Will be getting other colors in this size soon. I had absolutely no problem getting them to adhere. | 5 |
Nice and Lacey. | 5 |
great ,just what I wanted.. | 5 |
Strong, sturdy and easy to mold | 5 |
These hooks are awesome! I can crochet for hours now without the pain I had before from my carpal tunnel. Exactly as described and the zip-up case is really nice and very sturdy. I even ordered my sister a set and she loves them just as much as I do. Very happy with my purchase!
*Note, in the photos you can see that I am also able to store two needles and a small pair of scissors. Everything fits perfectly. | 5 |
Love the look of this pattern. Ready to cut out and sew | 5 |
This is good embossing powder. It looked very pretty for the Dove stamp. I used the heating tool after I applied, it is very clear & sparkly, Make sure to collect the unused powder & pour back in the jar. Try it, I think it will be appealing for a project. | 5 |
This elastic is great. | 5 |
I had reservations about ordering this organizer since there's really nothing in the description giving dimensions. For those of you on the fence, it's about 17 1/2 inches tall x 5 1/2 inches wide x slightly less than 5 inches deep. The drawers themselves are deep enough to comfortably store a MAC pigment pot, which is about 1 1/2 inches tall. My only complaint about the size is that the drawers are **almost** big enough to hold 9 MAC pigment pots in a neat square, but you can only get 6 in because they're just not big enough. I can fit 6 pigment pots in loosely. The drawers could have been better designed to take advantage of lost space on the sides. The tower has slots spaced about every 1/2 inch for drawers, which in turn makes the drawers much smaller than they had to be. If you see one in person this would make more sense; I wish I knew how to clarify that.
Anyhow, this is heavy enough to stay in place without being too heavy, plus it has rubber feet on the bottom to help keep it stable on a counter or desktop. I bought it to store makeup, but this would also be excellent for hobbies, crafts, office supplies, or any small items. It's nice to be able to see what's in the drawer without having to pull it out & dig. Most acrylic organizers I've found seem to be designed to use horizontally, lying flat on a counter/desktop, taking up valuable space. Because this is vertical, it takes only a very small amount of counter space, and you can store 3-4 times as much stuff. The drawers slide in & out easily, coming completely out with no trouble if you need to get at something in the back.
The price seems like a lot for some plastic drawers, but this is the best price on Amazon for this item, and I can't find these anywhere in stores. The seller is relatively close to me, so I got mine in only a couple of days, however your mileage may vary depending on your location. It was well-packed and I don't feel like I was ripped off for shipping. Overall, if you have a lot of small items lying around that you need to access regularly, but you don't have a lot of space, you'll find that this tower is fantastic, and you'll probably end up buying more than one. | 4 |
Works fantasticly on my cardstock. Love it. | 5 |
Gave them as a gift to young Granddaughter, she liked them. | 5 |
It holds most of my beads. | 5 |
This is a very sturdy, great way to store, travel with and display my long handled brushes for painting. | 5 |
This is a nice cloth. I make a wrap dress out of this and it works good for me. The color is a little darker but it still good to look at. I can wait to wear this on a party. | 5 |
Great item to use with airbrushes, | 5 |
Very nice for the price | 5 |
This is a fun little tool for kids. I got it for my 5 year old son who loves to make things. He was able to catch on to it really quickly. The only complaint I have is the color is some ugly darker colors and not the cute colors pictured. My kid didn't care though, so that's ok! | 5 |
I sell jewelry and created my own earring hangers with business cards. These adhesive mounts worked perfect. Highly recommend. | 5 |
Purchased 2 of these for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. They will work well, but I wish these type of kits came with better quality thread. They're about what I'd expect from those super cheap old school kits, but I am pretty particular about thread as I machine sew. | 4 |
I had originally purchased this basic machine but exchanged it for the deluxe model. My reasons were mainly that this one does not have a speed control and the instructions were not very complete. However, it is a good tape maker and will do the job if you can keep up with its speed. I found that a slower speed allows the hot iron to make firmer creases in the tape so that it is ready to use on my project.. | 3 |
Use them for homebrewing. | 5 |
Great quality. Very comfortable to use. Improved my crocheting and evened out my chain stitch. | 5 |
I love anything retro, so when I saw this, I HAD to have it! Wonderful product! High quality and the possibilities are endless!!! | 5 |
Lovely. Just beautiful. | 5 |
This is very cozy and soft. If I need more fabric I know where to look. | 5 |
Perfect for what I needed. I decided on bronze because I wanted an antique look. Good and strong chains. | 5 |
I got these as they were exactly what I needed. I ordered from the company in the US, but did not know they were being shipped from China. Had I known, as I had a deadline, I would not have done so. Having said that, not only did they come from China on time, they were beautifully done and just as described. Had me worried, but my Angel was looking out for me. Very nice. | 5 |
really the most fast needles | 5 |
Love it Strong. | 5 |
near my computer- Reminder spring is trying to birth- Very well crafted- vivid color- I put it an a bird cage swing- hung it on a small hanger-Its easy to attach-- Its smaller than I thought -due to my own fault of not reading closely the measurments- I wove a small vine in & around the bird to make it look even more real-as if swing on a tree limb-I plan to buy several more to place on my inclosed sun porch in spring baskest (on the handles) not for outside use-Also make great add on for special gift baskets- Or on any craft any season- Very pleased- Recommend seller & birdie- | 5 |
Great stencil. Sturdy, and really adds to mixed media art | 5 |
Ordered this for my friend who makes jewelry. She liked it and makes her jewelry making much easier. The tools were just what she needed. | 4 |
Love most SB items, especially holiday dies. This one is a little smaller than I would have liked, but still makes a lovely wreath, with nicely embossed areas....or you can paint them as well while the wreath is still in the die. I would use a few small circles (punched) of red to highlight the berry areas, and the bow is a nice touch as well. | 5 |
This are really small... | 3 |
This is a neat little paint mixer for the arts and crafts people. It's a bit on the cheap side, but it doesn't cost much either. So no complaints from me so far. Why these can't be made in the USA, I don't know. Just like everything else i guess. It's cheaper to make them on the other side of the world, then ship them to the USA, and still be able to make a profit on them ????? | 5 |
Knitter's Pride Karbonz are my new favorite double points, at least in the sizes 2 and smaller that I've been using. I really wanted to love their fixed circulars, but they fall short in two ways. First, while the cables are soft, even supple,. they still retain their curl more than I like. Addi blue cables, while more expensive, have all but done away with that curl memory. Then again, so has the ChiaoGoo Red Lace cable and of the 3, It's been my experience that they consistently have the smoothest join. If you're after a pretty needle, I really don't think you can find anything to beat the various Knitter's Pride offerings, but these are pricey circulars, and the cables just aren't remarkable.
The second feature about which I'm not fond is the very short distance over which the needle tip tapers. I like a gradual taper, and I don't even necessarily want to see the ridge where the taper meets the straight-away. If you can imagine a stretched torpedo shape, that would be the shape of a tip that seems best suited for knitting. This tip looks exactly like it was made in some sort of stubby pencil sharpener. Stitches do not flow nicely, and attaining my normal knitting speed wasn't possible. | 3 |
The essential shade of white that is so often needed in any project, whether making a kumihimo braid or doing beading or crochet. | 5 |
Worked great when used for stencils -- gloss paint did not look right, but the chalk finish was perfect. Also, quite a lot of paint in the jar. | 5 |
What can I say? It's Kaffe Fassett!!! That says it all. My only problem is that I like to just look at it, and almost cannot force my scissors to cut into the gorgeous design....More please. | 5 |
The stamps in this line are really fun. They make-up into a really cute card. Just have fun with it! | 5 |
Everything you need in a box | 4 |
This is an awesome soap mold! It is incredibly sturdy and a bit heavy so there is no chance of the sides bowing out. The bee design is super cute! I use this for my honey scented soap and the design really adds something special to each bar. I had no trouble unmolding since the whole mold is made of silicone. I highly recommend this mold for melt and pour. I haven't tried it with cold process soap yet but I think it will work out just fine as long as you leave the soap in the mold for 48 hours. | 5 |
NOTHING STICKS TO IT!!! Perfect for working with polymer clay!!!! It has the perfect size and helps when working with polymer clay because nothing sticks to it. It is a great tool :) | 5 |
Great item!!! Great price!!! These pears are absolutely perfect for my project. They remained glued to my projects. I highly recommend them for your scrapbooking/craft needs. | 5 |
Pretty metallic paper. | 5 |
I am using it to make pom poms and while I liked the colors, the colors run in long stripes, so my product is hard to gauge what color it will end up. | 3 |
These are easy to use and grasp. The yarn glides over nicely. Each hook has it's size engraved into the handle. While hard to read, it is there. A quick scratch with a white crayon will make the imprint pop nicely. | 5 |
This natural chalkboard kit will provide you with what you need to clear your chalk stick ons without ghosting or other unsightly things. I can go a little heavy handed with the chalk markers over the course of a month and I really appreciated the magic of the cloth and spray that's in this kid. I didn't use the magic eraser sponge much, but the other two items work perfectly in tandem. Perfect kit for erasing and way better than trying to erase with just water and prayers! Every chalk boarder needs this product!
I fully recommend this! | 5 |
"THIS FILM IS NOT INK JET PRINTABLE " is printed in bold caps as item #1 on the General Instructions.
Also on the label:
The film will not shrink perfectly proportionate. Please allow for some distortion.
One star because it is misleading and deceptive to have none of this on the product description. Hobby lobby online sells the original shrinky dink fo ink jet printers; odd that I can't find it on Amazon! | 1 |
Excellent price, fast shipping very happy with product | 5 |
I have purchased the same type of bag hardware before, in smaller packs, at other places. The prices were much, much higher and at a lower quality. I was so pleased with the high quality of this product - they are substantial and a great weight for any bag you may create. They are also very easy to attach to the bag. I will definitely reorder these in the future if the need arises. And I will most definitely use this same vendor as their shipping is super fast! Thank you so much! | 5 |
These beads are gorgeous!!! I absolutely love them! They are exactly as pictured and have the perfect weight to them! I can't wait to make a stunning piece of jewelry with them! | 5 |
I want something louder. | 3 |
I love this texture medium along with all Liquitex glazes. This in particular makes a stucco finish and works very well even on metal crafts as I have used this in mix media artwork that was published. Its ph neutral and is not fumey; washes out easy if rinsed before it dries. Local stores are often out of stock so its great I can buy from Amazon for Liquitex. This is a professional product that conforms to the safety standards and I would never use a subsitute ( been happy with this particular product for over a decade on regular usage ) This makes an awesome dry brush effect when using 2 colors ; one as base tint and dry brush the stucco in opposing shade for the bumpy swirly texture to appear. This works best on a rigid surface vs. a flexible like canvas so it won't chip off. This also dries very fast within an hr to 2 hrs so use a disposable applicator like a foam brush as it will not wash out to re-use the utensil. I have used this product for over 12 years and cannot work without it; love this art stucco ! 5 stars ! | 5 |
The product was what I expected and met my need | 5 |
Nice to have extras | 5 |
Dritz Quilting Rainbow Color Wheel Selector at only 5" wide is very portable. You can take it with you whenever you have color choices to make.
It includes a pamphlet explaining all about colors (color theory), color values, color proportion & color combinations, such as:
Complementary, Triad, Split Complement, Rectangular Tetrad, Square Tetrad, Analogous, & Monochromatic.
There's even more useful information about using color packed into the Color Sense pamphlet which is written in 3 different languages, English, Spanish & French.
I originally purchased this color wheel several years ago & wanted to buy a 2nd one for a gift. Dritz is selling this now, back then it was a different company. A few packaging changes have been made, but this Dritz wheel is the same Pick, Point & Match Rainbow color selector & still includes the Color Sense instructional manual which has proven very useful to me through the years.
I use the color wheel for making more informed color choices for my crochet projects & for coloring. I've been coloring since 2008 and crocheting for much, much, much longer. I really, really like the Rainbow Color Wheel & the instructional pamphlet which taught me how colors work together.
Great product. You'll not only receive a color wheel, you'll learn some color theory too.
UPDATE (1/27/17): I recently edited my review because the last two color wheels I purchased did not come with a cardboard envelope storage container (so I removed that info from my review) | 5 |
Good bobbins at a good price | 5 |
I like everything about this. The size is good for fitting in my tote/field/travel bag, the number of trays for holding colors is really great, and the quality of the item is very sturdy and nice. | 5 |
This is such an elegant and delicate design. The embossed edges are deep, so I would suggest using a heavier weight card stock with this one or you may find that it embossed clear through the paper! But it's beautiful to use as the texture for the front of an art journal! | 5 |
Purchased the wrong color zippers still no respond from seller on how to go about returning for the ones I wanted originally so I guess I have to keep all 44 of the same color and order fabric to match them. They are sturdy zippers | 5 |
Product works really well for adhering glass tiles to paper or fabric to make jewelry. It's easy to control out of the bottle and dries to a clear shiny finish. I haven't tried it yet but the product can also be used to create a raised done effect like a resin. If you are making a lot of jewelry or craft items this size is more economical. I would recommend this item to other crafters. | 4 |
Easy to use, good instructions. I have not had a chance to really use it extensively, but I have always been a good believer in the Singer product. | 4 |
I purchase most of my fabric online so I know monitors are different in portraying colors so I anticipate perhaps some difference, however this fabric is incredibly different. It is not even close to the vivid bright blues, aquas and what appears as a streak of very bright aqua nearly white in the picture sample is a muddy gray blue color. Before I wrote this review I checked on a friends computer and hers too showed bright bold colors. Overall the fabric has much muddier value. I'm very, very disappointed.. | 2 |
This is a really nice folder of crosses, look forward to using it especially for Easter and my church's memory book. | 5 |
Great cord | 5 |
The size was exactly right for the project I was doing and the price was what I was willing to pay. They worked well and I've had no problems with any items I brought from Rockin Beads | 5 |
