Used the mat to make felted dryer ball. Works so much better than foam mat. | 5 |
I have purchased 2 of these now. One for my fineliner pens and one for my marco raffine pencils. As for the fineliners, the staedtler brand ones are a tight fit. The Stabilo ones fit much better. But it is still handy to keep them all together. My only complaint is that when you fill every slot it becomes stiff and harder to fold up. but it works and looks nice. | 4 |
Wonderful product Beautiful colors Great delivery service | 5 |
My friend needed some paint. So I bought her this. This is a very generous amount of paint, and it seems to be good quality. If I ever need paint, I'd probably buy here. | 5 |
I wanted a light weight drawing board with no cut out handle and no built in clips. Simple as dirt, but try to find it. I didn't want to go with plywood due to the weight.
Then I found this, as well as the larger one. For the price they have them, I was able to get both, and I'm very happy. They're made out of the same smooth material as a clipboard - masonite? Not sure what it's called - but it's about twice as thick and has square edges rather than rounded.
Works great, nice & sturdy without being heavy, dirt cheap, and exactly what I was looking for. | 5 |
great price fast delivery. | 5 |
Excellent. Prompt and honest. Excellent. Prompt and honest. | 5 |
The quality of this beading loom is poor, The stain, or paint on it has runs in it. The springs were coming apart and there was a piece of wood that was broken. I needed to return it and get another product, This type of loom I have had before, I think that it was a quality control thing, as this is usually a good company, I bought one previous and liked it | 2 |
No sizes on them....will have to get a needle guage to determine size. I haven't used them yet, but otherwise look like a decent set for the price. | 3 |
This palette is big at 16 by 12. But I really enjoy it so far. The mixing space is great, and the wells for the colors are fairly deep enough that I felt like I wasn't lacking in anything. It came with the lid and bag as described, and the bag will be handy for this next year when I start some plein air painting and want to take my palette outside. I have a lot of colors (Though not quite 51) and liked being able to space them out across the rows as I did. I plan on using the second row for mixing certain colors and shades. One side can be for warm tones, the other side can be for cool tones. I like that it has the separator between the two mixing areas as well. I will certainly be using this palette for years to come. Especially since I put my favorite paints in it (M Graham and Winsor and Newton for anyone curious). I've only had the palette for a short while but so far it's doing what I needed it for and keeping the paints dust and fur free (I have pets and live next to a busy road). I looked at other palettes but they didn't have all the color wells exactly this size for my tastes. The downside is that it might be a bit big for some people, storing it was a tricky thing to figure out but with a bit of rearranging at my art studio I was able to find a flat surface to store it and still have it be easy to grab when I work on larger projects that require more paint than my smaller tin watercolor box can offer. The price is also what attracted me to this palette box when I looked at other styles like Porcelain or at different brands.
In short, I would recommend this palette to anyone looking for a bigger palette and plenty of mixing space for lots of colors. Maybe not so much for someone who's limited on storage space because it's quite big. | 5 |

I mainly wanted this so I could recycle large magazine photos into envelopes. It works great.. Hardest part is getting the photo page to present the way I need it to for the design of the envelope but that has nothing to do with the product. | 5 |
Smooth cut | 5 |
Gorgeous. Ranger = good. | 5 |
Dyan Reaveley's rubber stamps are the best, all her products are fantastic. High quality rubber and I really enjoy her humor. | 5 |
Great product. Fast delivery | 5 |
Will use for my projects. | 3 |
I got this as a gift from a friend and I love it. I'm still new to painting, so I tend to waste a lot. This big tube is just what I needed to paint my first largeish painting. It is thick enough to mix well, but not so thick that I have a hard time working with it. | 4 |
This is a perfect match for the 100mm hoop that came with my LB6800PRW. I wanted another so I could hoop 1 design while another was being sewn. It works perfectly for that purpose. There isn't really much to say about an embroidery hoop besides if it works or not, and this one works the same as the original. | 5 |
Great stencils!! | 5 |
perfect to snip the jump stitches in machine embroidery | 5 |
Excellent tool for delicate work. | 5 |
Love it!!! I made several cards for my family birthday cards and the one I gave out, the ones I gave it to, also love the card, thanks | 5 |
Nice shears for cutting up soda cans | 4 |
This is a very nice color wheel. I like the upgrade in more colors and complimentary colors. This should be handy not only for crafters and artisits, it is a great learning tool for anyone. But it is a very thin plastic and could easily be damaged. | 4 |
Buy a different set, is my best commentary on these brushes. It's easy to sploosh out way too much water with a squeeze. The brush tips will not give precision results, not even close. Might be okay for little children who don't care about quality, good-feeling bristles and painting inside the lines. I don't like the way these handle. I don't know how to explain the tips except, "unwieldy." | 2 |
When starting out with heat embossing it is tempting to get as many colors as you can. For most people this is OK, however I like a clean work station and find it hard to slide the leftovers back into to bottle and end up knocking it over. Make sure you have a piece of paper under the bottle while putting back into the bottle. If this is spilled on the craft mat......well good luck with that.
On the other hand it is a good place to start if you want to try a lot of different colors. | 4 |
Look real pretty. Made my bracelet look good | 5 |
They work well bending the prongs in or out. Downside was there were no directions on how to use. Had to find instructions in a youtube video. | 4 |
Cute for crafts. | 4 |
I use them in my Circut Explore machine and they work just as well if not better than the blades Circut sells for way more money...
I will be purchasing again. | 5 |
Daughter loves it | 5 |
Quality not as good as others for the same price.
Seller will also send multiple emails insisting on feedback. Too bad they care more about getting feedback than the quality of their product. | 1 |
These are supper scissors Would recommend them for everyone that sews | 5 |
Best brush cleaner in the market! I have used it for many years (recommended by my art teacher) and I can't live without it. It is the best brush cleaner in the market, good pricing, good results and the best for our brushes!! | 5 |
I did a lot of small sewing crafts this season and this was an amazing tool for pushing those small pieces through the machine protecting my fingers. | 5 |
For adults, you can make about 30 scarves before the gears are worn down and there are massive skipping problems. After going through three of these, I've decided to purchase a better quality knitting machine. | 3 |
I like this die and have used it a few times. You do need the extended plate bottom and two cutting layers. That being said I also want to add the letters are small but useable. So all in all I am happy with the product | 5 |
These glass balls are the perfect size to make a Halloween "crystal ball" project. The glass was strong enough to withstand the heat from an open flame used to produce a smoky effect on the interior of the ball. | 5 |
13 yr. old is happy with it. will find out how it works in a few days | 5 |
two of the three I used splintered immediately | 1 |
I had a friend who raved about the enveloper, so, of course, I had to have one too. I find it difficult to use, the tool cuts the paper, and the directions leave a LOT to be desired. I'll revert to my old envelope creator with the plastic templates, thank you. | 2 |
Really like the design of the happy birthday die but it does not make a clean through the paper. | 3 |
Love it. It's a beauty. | 5 |
I bought these to use as lacquer color identifiers. I store my lacquers in a travel case, and only the tops of the bottle are visible. I stuck one of these on each of the bottles after I painted 2 coats of lacquer on (and let it dry). Now I can see which color I'm picking up without having to pull every single bottle of lacquer out of my case.
Note: I used these on Jamberry lacquer bottles and they fit perfectly! If you're wanting to use them with other brands, check the size first. | 5 |
This rating is based on an assumption on my part. I ordered these ink pads twice. Each time I got neon ink pads. I like the quiet morning colors. If they are true colors and they work as expected, very good. So, this is a "benefit of the doubt" review. Never got the product but have faith it would have been nice had I received it. | 4 |
Bigger than expected. Zipper is not top grade. It hangs up going around curves. Not worth the money. | 3 |
What a waste of money. I was very disappointed to see thin grips that gave no comfort and only a couple inches long, if that. I wouldn't recommend these for anyone. | 1 |
Nice product at a great price. The blue is a vivid shade of dark. Perfect for blending to teal. | 5 |
I received this pencil set for a reduced price, as they had been shipped to and returned by a customer who didn't want or like them, I'm not sure which. Maybe because there were 2 of them that the tips had broken off during shipping, but those two pencils had been resharpened by the purchaser using the cheaply made pencil sharpeners that come with them, and they had obviously broken repeatedly - were much shorter in length than all the other pencils, which looked like they hadn't even been used once. But I REALLY like these oil-based pencils a lot! They color really nice, the colors are bright and deep, and they blend very well if you put the different colors on in light layers until the paper will not accept any more. I do that with the Marco Raffine wax-based pencils, as well. My colored pictures are lovely and my friends are really impressed when I show them photos, post the images to my Facebook page, or they see them in person. I usually color pretty complex designs and images, or ones that require a lot of thought and precise execution of color choices and application to make them stand out. There is a nice variety of colors and shades in this set so I can blend them on things like the feathers on chickens, or the winds of butterflies, flowers, vines and leaves. I don't usually color those solidly, with just one color. That doesn't look natural.
The key here, to get the best results, is to use a high quality sharpener that removes as little wood and lead as possible, getting a short, sharp angle, not one that leaves the tip long, too much lead exposed and a lot of the wood removed and showing. They do cost some money, but are worth it! What is $9 for a sharpener that you can use forever and your pencils last longer, compared to the high cost of having to repeatedly buy new pencil sets when using a cheap one? Using this professional quality type of sharpener that's made for makeup pencils, takes off very little wood and the lead inside it, so the tip is short, strong, and almost never breaks while sharpening or being used. Your pencils will last a much longer time because you only need to turn the sharpener twice around the pencil tip to get a new sharp point! The one I recommend is this one in the beauty section: https://www.amazon.com/Beautique-Round-Metal-Pencil-Sharpener/dp/B004F82BKU/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1469207076&sr=1-3&keywords=makeup+pencil+sharpener . The blades on it can be easily replaced by unscrewing one tiny screw, so you can use it a long time and get a sharp point, easy shaving, simply by installing a new blade as needed. So I immediately resharpened those 2 with the extremely long tips. I did try the dark blue one, it was about 1/3rd shorter than the unused pencils, and the lead tip wasn't strong so it under-performed. After I resharpened it properly it colored perfectly.
The ends of the pencils are colored, numbered and named to show each shade of each color, but I always make my own color chart/guide by making a little scribble with them on white paper and noting the color name or code # to be accurate. I then put this sheet of paper inside a page protector. The color numbers in this set aren't in a logical order, say 3 shades of yellow being 70, 71, 72. But using my own chart makes this issue irrelevant.
I think you can readily see that my review is unbiased and not influenced by the reduced price I got, nor even by the 2 pencils that were damaged/shorter. That customer who bought and returned them wouldn't have been disappointed if they had simply used a better sharpener. Personally, 2 little broken tips wouldn't make me dissatisfied one bit! I'm not complaining about anything and I have no reservations about recommending these as a great product. If you're looking for a combination of decent quality and moderate price, this is the brand/set you want to buy. If you only want to buy dirt cheap pencils, then do so, but you have absolutely no room to complain about them being less than ideal when you use them! Similarly, if you want the ultimate pencils that can be found, you can't complain while spending less than a bundle of $ on them! There is no free lunch! These pencils are a great combination of medium cost with really good quality and for the average colorer who isn't a Renoir or Picasso, these are a good choice. And I don't think there's room to complain if you're going to use that cheap kind of sharpener, either. The sharpeners (2) that come with this set are the only things I don't like, but I just tossed them out. No big deal, since I have no use for them in the first place. | 5 |
Very light weight and perfect for my needs | 5 |
The tines have a jagged ripple where they were machined that makes it stick in the leather like a harpoon. | 1 |
Bought to glue ends of an expensive wool rug backing (cloth) that had come loose during hand washing; husband VERY pleased that it works right away, creates a sturdy bond, and dries well. He was impressed and is hard to impress, so this stuff works very well on thick, hard gluing projects. | 5 |
Useful color! Love it. I used it for jewelry and after baked it still mantains its color :) One is not enough when you want to create in big amounts, but it is great :) | 5 |
great product, works great | 5 |
Perfect to use for jewelry. | 5 |
After 3 cheep hole punches, I got this. It's bigger, but stronger and more accurate. The bottom stays put and the punches don't fall out. It;s accurate and not hard to get paper in there. I am thrilled I traded my lightweight little hole punches for this accurate lifeweight punch. Thanks to all the awesome reviews that I read.
A+ | 5 |
Love how this product makes stickers out of my die cut shapes. | 5 |
not one damaged, i was very happy with them | 5 |
I ordered these tweezers because I thought they would be the same as what I used to use when I worked in a sewing factory. Boy was I wrong. They were bent like the picture shows, but also slightly sideways so they were literally unusable. I just thew them in the trash. | 2 |
Great product and good seller to buy from! | 5 |
These are absolute fabulous and have become a favourite with my card making buddies. They make such a delightful card. | 5 |
These are not far from being professional tools. | 5 |
Very satisfied with this product! Will reorder! | 5 |
great, fast shipping | 5 |
Lots of colors, bright colors, I and my grandchildren enjoy them together. Comes off easing. | 5 |
These dots are quite thin, but can be stacked for various effects. Easy to remove and use. | 5 |
Love this palette. NIce and big. Had to get three of them. I use one just for watercolors, another for gouache, and another for another kind of watercolors. I switch out as needed. They are wonderful. | 5 |
Made a cute scarf. | 5 |
Whew....... once you get in the grove and figure out how they go on they work great. Don't give up you won't be disappointed. | 5 |
Nice and solid folder for the purpose. | 5 |
Great little stamp pads at a good price. | 5 |
Arrived with the wooden part cracked. Form wouldn't stay on. I had to duct tape it together. Not pleased. | 2 |
If you make rag quilts, and you don't have these already, do your hands a favor: BUY THEM NOW. These suckers are sharp and wonderful! | 5 |
Good quality, perfect color! | 5 |
I was so very disappointed in this cloth. First, it came packaged...more wadded up than folded, it was so wrinkled, It took forever to get it flat enough to start cutting the pieces I needed. Second, if you need a yard of this fabric, you will need to purchase almost 2 yards, as the cut was so uneven, that once I straightened it out, I was 7 inches short of a yard. If I had needed this for a larger project, it would not have worked. As is is, I need it for Christmas ornaments My Mom gives as gifts to her Grandchildren, so I had to size them down in order to have enough cloth. I did not have time to send it back and get my money back for it. I would have given 1 star, except as stated, this is a stiff fabric, and that is what I needed.
If I had the time, I would have sent it back because of the loss of fabric, and the condition it was in. I also had some spots that looked as if something was spilled on it...some came out and some did not.
Lastly, the fabric itself was a bit off, I cut 4 x 4-inch squares...following the lines of the fabric, but when I folded them to find the middle for the pattern...the fabric itself was not even.
All in all...not a good buy for the money, too many problems. It would have been better going to the local craft shop to get the cloth. I will not make the same mistake again. | 2 |
The handle is nice, but it's hard to tighten enough to keep the blade tight in the holder. It's nice to have a cap, to go over the blade. | 3 |
This thing is the bomb! Perfect for setting snaps on baby items. The size 20 snaps accomodate 2 layers of flannel easily. Snaps are very well made. Made bib making for the grandbaby so fun! | 5 |
I'm making a banner like garland for my daughters first birthday and its totally what i needed and expected. Great size punch. | 5 |
gift for my granddaughter. great. | 5 |
These really work for me. | 5 |
Great. I use it for prep on my Art Journal pages | 5 |
Cheaper than at a store, and it was an add on for shipping. Out of the whole package 2 didn't have sharp ends. They are sturdy, and I like glass heads. | 4 |
I have not sewed for a long time and consider myself an advanced beginner. I wanted to get back into sewing without spending a lot, yet I did not want just a basic machine. I found what I wanted with the 7470. It has a lot of cute decorative stitches and a couple built in alphabets in addition to the usual utility stitches. It comes with all the basic feet, a soft plastic cover, nicely done instruction manual, and all the other extras like needles and bobbins. So far I have made some nice home dec type of things and hope to start a garmet next. The 7470 is very smooth running and sews nicely. The menus are very easy to use. It has a mirror image, repeat inifinity stitch and can handle double needles. The sewing area is wide and sturdy. The machine threads easily, the bobbin is drop in, and the needle threader really works!! So far I am very pleased and think I did good getting this one! | 5 |
makes cutting strips easy as cutting a slice of pie | 5 |
Came in mail quickly . Perfect assortment | 5 |
This stuff holds very strongly and takes a lot of force to separate. In most situations where you frequently need to separate the hook and loop sides, this might not be the best thing to use, but for things where you need something to stay solidly in place while still being removable if the need arises, this stuff is perfect!
I used a whole 2" x 4" patch of this to attach a Wagan 4-Way 12V Automotive Socket Extender under the dashboard in my car, and that thing does not come loose even with four heavy cigar socket connectors in the thing. I just recently had to remove the extender so that I could get to the area behind it to install some electronics, and while it took quite a bit of force and effort to separate the velcro, it did come off and go back on just fine. The extender might as well be glued down with industrial adhesive except that it can actually be removed when required, which is exactly what I wanted.
I also used a couple of 1/2" by 2" strips to attach a wireless bluetooth diagnostic interface under the dash and that was more than enough to very securely attach it. That thing isn't going anywhere unless I want it to.
The adhesive back on these patches is also very thick and strong. The plastic that I attached it to under my dash has kind of a matte smooth surface, and all I did was clean it with alcohol before sticking the velcro on. Even with all the force used to remove that socket extender, there's no sign of the adhesive coming loose.
So this stuff is perfect for heavy objects and things that you might be tempted to glue down with strong double-stick tape or adhesive. If you need something glued down but you think you might need to remove it at some point, don't just use glue.... Use this stuff.
As with any adhesive though, you can't expect one adhesive to stick to all possible material surfces. Some things might require the use of alternate means such as some other adhesive, staples, heavy stitches, screws/bolts/etc. When using adhesive strips like this, always clean the area thoroughly with some sort of solvent that will remove greasy oily stuff! | 5 |
Buy the correct bobbin for your machine and you will not have a problem | 5 |
Easy to shape. Great product. | 5 |
Works great for quilters or anyone needing exact 1/4" seams. | 5 |
After a year, I have just realised the one I received is different from the photo. It has a standard 1/8" connector plus an adapter for Badger hose. It is both good and bad. Good because you can use a regular hose; bad because it makes the regulator overall longer if you are using this with the adapter and Badger hose. | 4 |
This brightly colored acrylic yarn is great for crafts! There are 8 different colors, and the yarn is super soft and very easy to work with. My granddaughter was visiting and we made pompoms, a few cat toys, and started working on the yarn covered vase that is shown in the free e-book. The e-book doesn't have the greatest of directions, you get a picture of a finished project and the written directions, but some of the directions are a bit vague. We just did our own thing and still had fun.
This yarn comes in a vinyl zipped bag for storage. The bag does not stay zipped closed and will pop open, so you may wish to store the yarn in a different bag or a container. I will just keep this with the rest of our craft supplies. This yarn makes nice macramd bracelets too, and with all the different ideas you can find online, finding a few craft ideas to keep the kids busy for an afternoon should be no problem.

Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Hearts Die Set is very versatile. I love the cookie cutter dies to make outlines of the hearts and interlink and chain them. The solid hearts are beautiful on gift wrap as well as cards. | 5 |
Great for enhancing background or images with a gold luster. If you Google Viva Inka Gold blog you will find tons of uses and projects. | 5 |
This brings a new meaning to sewing. I made a pillow and two pillow cases out of it and I love it. The only thing I did was hold the iron on it longer, it seemed to melted and strengthen the bond. | 5 |
Easy to work with different color yarns without having to deal with large skeins or balls of yarn. | 5 |
This is a very good product. I really liked using them in my jewelry projects. They are well made and has a good price. Thanks. | 5 |
These stickers are so much fun. There is a good variety of stickers here that are perfect for my planner. While they are made for the Happy Planner they will work in any planner. | 5 |
Works very well. Very easy to use and small to store away. Very happy with the purchase. | 5 |
