Perfect for all bead crafters | 5 |
I love these for blending they work great and last awhile | 5 |
Love the convenience of using this product with the Marathon Runner. It's so easy to replace the refill, a snap and click and its done. Much better than other products I have used which are going to be disposed of. Thank you for the great service I received from Amazon. RJT. | 5 |
Very nice and just show pic! I'll order more later. | 5 |
What they say is so right. Easy easy love it | 5 |
Very nice small stamp. Works great~ | 5 |
Beautiful set of bamboo knitting needles | 5 |
I got this as backup supply when I go in production mode & the price fit my budget. | 5 |
Cuts great! | 5 |
These basting pins are great for quilting as they have the curved design. They are the perfect size to penetrate layers of fabric without leaving holes while still being able to use them with ease. They are super sturdy, sharp, and well made. I'll be ordering more. | 5 |
They are okay. | 3 |
aaaaaa | 5 |
Tiny, flimsy, not what I was expecting. Was looking for something that wouldnt flex while using it. | 2 |
works great on the guru beads that I got. | 5 |
Haven't used it yet, will be using it to cover a whimsical chair. | 5 |
Excellent brush cleaner that helps keep your brushes, no matter if they are cheap or expensive, lasting longer. | 5 |
Save yourself time from winding bobbins. | 5 |
Perfect condition and works perfect on any fabric. Not waterproof | 5 |
Great cleaner and easy to use. | 5 |
These are absolutely amazing for mixed media. They flow well on gesso and mix well even without the water. They are my "go to" media almost every time for art journaling. | 5 |
There's nothing wrong with his holder. Once you snap it together, it's fairly sturdy and holds a lot of pencils or brushes. It's not especially attractive but the functionality is there. | 4 |
I bought this ribbon for a project. It is nice quality and perfect for my needs. It arrived very quickly with absolutely no problems. | 5 |
Great starter kit. Wish the DVD had more explanation but the project idea book included has good instructions. | 5 |
This punch is great for large numbers of sheets as it can easily handle 45 standard sheets of paper. The greater leverage from the large handle means it is easy to push even with many sheets. However, this model lacks flexibility in other respects. In particular, the holes and paper guide (one side only) are fixed, but this works fine for most applications. If you don't need the higher capacity there are cheaper and less bulky options.
PROS
Easily handles 45 sheets of paper
Large handle means easier operation
Cuts smoothly and fairly cleanly
Paper guide on one side only allows punching over-sized sheets
CONS
Plastic base feels cheap
Only does standard 3-hole punches
Bulky to store
The plastic hole collector drawer slides out for dumping, but don't slide it out in the locked position as the punch blades hang down and will damage it. The drawer and base are made of cheap-feeling plastic. I prefer more metal for durability in a heavy-duty hole punch, and maybe a rubber base such as on the Officemate Heavy Duty Adjustable 2-3 Hole Punch, but it only handles 32 pages. If you want adjustability in a higher capacity there is also the 40-page Swingline A7074440.
We also own the smaller and much cheaper Swingline Precision Pro. It has adjustable hole positions and can do 2-hole punches but only goes up to 8.5x11 paper size due to paper guides on both sides and can only punch 10 pages at once. The lever is smaller but is easy to push and the punch is very compact and easy to store. Ours cuts a little more cleanly than the SmartTouch.
The cons are fairly minor and if you are looking for a non-adjustable, easy-to-use heavy-duty hole punch, this works fine. The punching mechanism itself seems solid and well built. | 4 |
i got my pliers 11/7/15 I was so glad they came I like them very much.i do a lot of crafts at home and I lost mine somewhere here but cant find them.thanks to ever took care of my order.gittings thank you very much | 5 |
One of my favorite colors. These beads are so bright and fun to work with. I have several different colors for spacers and learning to weave on a loom. | 5 |
I l ove them beautiful plus they came earlyalso thx | 5 |
super nice! looks like real silver!! nicely made! | 5 |
A very nice assortment of paintbrushes and sponge brushes. | 5 |
Nothing! That's right! No tiny mountain of melted glue stuck to the table top where the glue gun set; no smell of heated glue or burning plastic. This little gun sat patiently, switch still set to on, glue still hot and ready to go, just waiting for me to pick it up and go. The important thing however...is that the glue gun doesn't drip, doesn't stink, doesn't thread. I am more than pleased with the deal that I got on this gun and the performance I have had with it so far. My best friend agrees with me as well. She borrowed it and was using it in her scrapbook, she lifted the gun from the page to place an embellishment, then stopped and stared in wonder. "Oh wow! No strings still attached!"
Loving this mini glue gun! The ONLY complaint I have, and it is so minor that I am not taking a start from my review, is that when sliding a new stick in, you sometimes have to wiggle it a little to get it past the first little black 'sleeve' area. The only time that becomes a problem is when I am in the middle of needing a ton of glue and start freaking out thinking all the rest will cool before I can get more glue in place, but the truth is, cooling glue has not been an issue, and now that I know it might need the wiggle, I am prepared and it still only takes 1.5 seconds to pop a new one in.
All in all, I highly recommend this gun. I have it and the larger blue high temp Surebonder gun; Surebonder HE-750 High Temperature Professional Glue Gun - 80 Watts and I am using Surebonder mini glue stiks with it Surebonder DT-100 Made in the USA All Purpose Stik-Mini Glue Sticks-All Temperature-5/16"D, 4"L Hot Melt Glue Sticks-100 Sticks per bag | 5 |
use it when needed | 5 |
This is a beautiful set of embossing folders. I can hardly wait to start crafting my Chritmas cards and tags and gifts! We have lots of winter time birthdays too! Good value and service! Thanks! | 5 |
fast shipping (because of prime), its exactly what i expected | 4 |
Not heavy enough, but it does work. I glued it to my sewing desk for stability because it kept falling over... | 3 |
Cute set. No face though. | 5 |
I bought this because I was having a problem with resin staying sticky on some magnets I made. It worked in that regard, they weren't sticky, but I didn't like the finish it left, kind of matte, not shiny. I didn't want to flood each magnet with spray, so I don't know if that would have been better. I did put 3-4 coats on each one. | 4 |
These arrived very quickly. They are a present for my daughter for Christmas. She is a real artist and these sketch pens add a lot of depth to drawings. They make the detail in your sketches really stand out. If you are a serious artist, then you will want to get some of these marker.s | 5 |
Perfect for storing large amounts of photos - small compact size. Only downside is that it is difficult to securely close the small containers and the large one. | 5 |
Okay.... I was expecting these to be longer. | 3 |
Great just what I've been looking for I love using so far been very easy & clean to use | 5 |
As a Vine member, this is what I got to read about this item prior to choosing it:
>>The Darice Studio 71 Professional Art Set is a comprehensive 159 piece collection of art supplies that is ideal for the beginner, student or artist. This set features a wide assortment of colored pencils, markers, oil paints, watercolor paints, acrylic paints and oil paints that are fitted into a two tier wood box. Also included in this art set is sketch pencils, brushes, pencil sharpener and eraser.<<
I have seen sets like these by different manufacturers in hobby shops, etc. I never noticed the price, but the desire to be able to use paints and colors to make art has been a longing of mine for years so I was excited to get to try this set out. The first disappointment came when I unwrapped the plastic from the box and took off the sheet of paper on top that gave the specifics of the set. It was taped on in the middle of the box and taking it off also took off a chunk of wood grained looking paper veneer on the box, resulting in a white patch. Opened the box to discover that however this kit was put together (either glue or nails) one corner was completely undone and didn't show any semblance of having been glued or nailed at all. This set and all supplies were all apparently made in China and so if you are looking for a well-made wooden art box, this isn't the set you are looking for. The different items are held in place by thin plastic inserts that I would suspect won't hold up well at all and don't hold things very well. If you don't hold the box a certain way in opening it, many of the items fall out. There goes your dream of taking your wooden box of paints out to the beach somewhere to paint like you see in some movies. Everything will end up on the ground.
As to the art supplies included, The art set contains:
-32 colored pencils (2 each of 16 colors),
-30 colored markers (the kind you find at back to school sales for about $3-4),
-54 oil pastels sticks which really resemble and work as bad wax crayons with no points on the end, just flat heads (3 each of 18 colors). Also half of the oil pastel tray has to be pulled out from under the top tier tray, I didn't even see them until really inspecting the box, they could have hidden forever under there, as there didn't seem to be anyway of getting to them or even seeing them. Pulling the tray out wasn't the easiest thing.
-2 sketching pencils
-one eraser
-2 brushes with the brush ends fuzzy not smooth and tapered and not much bigger than an eyeliner brush. Note 2 brushes but 3 different kinds of paint. I've seen better looking paintbrushes in kids sets.
-12 12oz acrylic color paint tubes
-12 12oz watercolor paint tubes
-12 12oz oil color paint tubes
Note: it is so nice for them to say how many different things you will get, but the fact that many colors are duplicated takes away from the value in my mind.
Just even in the time I have had the box open while writing this review, two more corners of the box are coming apart and I have been treating the box with absolute tenderness. I think a professional or wannabe artist would snort and laugh at this kit to be called a professional art set. There are no ingredients listed on anything in the box or what to do in case of accidental ingestion, so I would not be comfortable giving it to a child to use. I could see where an older beginner might want to attempt using the paints to see how they do with painting, but over the years I have found that most hobbies are more enjoyable if you start with the 'right stuff' first. There are no instructions for use with the anything in the box, nor how to clean up the 2 brushes after use. As it is advertised as also for a beginner, they can't expect the beginner to know how to do that. As to it being a comprehensive set, I also received a smaller set for oils and one for acrylics paints sets. Those sets included a palette, a palette knife, 3 brushes, a palette cup, and painting medium. Obviously someone else at the company had a different notion of what the meaning of comprehensive was.
I have tried out the colored pencils, the colored markers and the oil pastels and felt them all to be of poor quality. The colored pencils and pens, will probably come in handy in my designing for my quilts and other sewing projects. I didn't want to open the tubes of paint until I actually had a project in mind (many art quilts do use paints on them) as I didn't want them drying out between now and then. I suspect that they will just glob up.
My husband, who has successfully painted a lot of landscapes, looked at the set as a joke. I wouldn't recommend this set to anyone. If you want to give painting a try, decide what type of art work that you want to do and then get what you need for that type of art work, it will be cheaper in the end to only get what you need and to buy better quality at the same time. | 1 |
Yay USA! I was glad to find a made in USA item. Thank you DRITZ and thank you PRYM CONSUMER. I will buy from this seller again and again. Oh, and the product is excellent. | 5 |
The 4411 was a replacement for an older machine. It arrived very quickly, and I was busy sewing quite soon, EXCEPT, that I realized I could no longer count on the needle being in the middle, thus creating the seam I wanted (1/4", 5/8", etc.) ! There was no way to bring it far enough to the left, so I just accommodated, and that worked well enough, as long as I didn't pay attention to what was supposed to be the guides. I have just ordered a replacement for the 4411, with another 4411!! You wonder why!. Well, I made the mistake of sewing over straight pins, which I have done for over 65 years, but this time the needle hit the pin, the pin bent, BUT something happened to the meshing of all the pieces, and the needle will no longer go down all the way. It hits, thus preventing the completion of my projects! After checking out the basic cost of our local sewing machine repair shop, it makes more sense to order a replacement, and hope this one will, as a bonus, allow the needle to be where it is supposed to be! I did e-mail Singer for assistance, but have no response. | 4 |
I purchased this fabric to make an embroidered crib quilt. It is smooth and easy to sew. I highly recommend this for sewing. | 5 |
I love this brand of knitting needles as they are very well made and the points are perfect. | 5 |
Can't have enough of this stuff! What a fun product. | 5 |
Long and short grasses for lawns, hills and meadows. Can be easily trimmed for length desired. Includes tiny flowers and butterfly for enhancements if desired. Arrived exactly on time as promised. | 5 |
So far this has been awesome. Holds all my airbrushes and you can even connect a moisture trap on as well. You can position anywhere around your table as long as you have a lip for it to screw on. | 5 |
I wind up lots of bobbins to take to quilt retreats, so these are perfect to add to my collection of different colors that I need! | 5 |
Product as described and came on time. Wish they had an upper case L. | 5 |
I just got my "goodie bag" in the mail! And let me tell you........I haven't even opened it yet, but I can tell just by looking at the bag, that I will LOVE it!
I'm going to use these for shaker cards. I am new to card making and started only about a year and a half ago. But this product (for me) is exactly what I was looking for. I see a lot of color, shapes, sizes and variety in the bag. Besides, it's just a bag of fun little things and what can there possibly be to not like about it. LOL
Anyway, I love them and I'm fairly certain I'll order them again. :-) | 5 |
My first set worked great. The last set just cuts the thread when i try to get it down into the threading area. Looking for another alternative. | 2 |
Does a beautiful job of embossing. | 5 |
Works great, all the colors shown are included. | 5 |
Kind of flimsy. Not as thick as I was expecting. | 4 |
This is really extra long. Easy to read. Both inches and centimeters are marked very boldly. A length to measure any garment. | 5 |
Will buy agaon. | 5 |
I love the buttons. The shanks will only accommodate size 1mm-(maybe 1.5mm) leather cords. They are new, clean, and lightweight but sturdy. All in all I'm satisfied with the buy. | 5 |
Really helps | 5 |
Great deal on quality product. | 5 |
I have already used them and they were perfect. Thanks, Pat | 5 |
As always, great product; great service! | 5 |
this is the perfect easel for a table top or a wheeled cart like a microwave cart. I have the latter set up with this easel and it does precisely what I want it to do. This is NOT a sales pitch or a bogus review. I love it, period! | 5 |
I love spellbinder brand ..it is perfect | 5 |
Good product for giving some shiny accents on cards, ect. On my third bottle. It lasts a long time...I use it a lot. | 5 |
Can't live without these needle threaders! Work perfectly and with such a large pack I am never without one, even when I lose them or break them. | 5 |
I had one that broke and loved it so much I ordered the same one. I couldn't get my quilting done without it. | 5 |
Worked Fantastic | 5 |
This storage unit has the very real probability to come unattached and still the contents. It has a very small lip on the snap part of the set. I do not trust it to carry much around
as of 1/3/17 seller has stated they will provide me with replacement. will update when this has happened | 1 |
I ordered a second one of these, because I was so pleased with the first one!
I love that I can craft and place in the oven on the same mat. It makes it easy for crafting and transferring my creations back and forth. | 5 |
Thick with a good texture. It's gesso. There isn't much that can go wrong. | 5 |
Thanks I have been using the needles (the red ones) for weaving bookmarks. I love the different colors of the needles. | 5 |
Clear, precise stamping with this pad, will buy from again! | 5 |
works great. All my friends now have them as well. | 5 |
Cute set! The person we gave it to loves it. | 5 |
This is extremely nice 1mm leather lace. The thickness is uniform. It has a good non-porous finish, and the dye doesn't rub off. Also I haven't found any weak spots that pull apart. What more could you want? | 5 |
very useful for flower making | 4 |
These were perfect to complete place cards used for a luncheon. Love them. | 5 |
I used it with gold deco foil on the linen fabric. The resault is pretty (see image). I did some experience sample before I apply on my work. It took quite a while to get it dry.
I applied a cutout film over the linen fabric and damp the adhesive with sponge (see image). | 4 |
I bought these because I saw a You Tube tutorial by Shari Carroll where you can use the smaller area of the ink pad (in comparison to the larger ones) to apply ink directly onto stamps and have more control over where you can apply different colors and I was shocked at how good it came out. I've tried using the large distress ink pads to stamp my stamps with and there was never enough coverage. I think the secret was how she lightly misted water over the image before stamping. It gave everything a very beautiful water color effect while still seeming to have enough crispness in the image to see the stamped image really well. I think this technique will work will with certain kinds of stamps but perhaps not all stamps. In this case she (and I) used a winter tree stamp by Hero Arts. | 5 |
This is a very large and thick roll of paper. It will last for years and has many purposes. I do a nature-themed holiday tree every year and like to use this paper as a base for my wrapping (using colored paper ribbon and raffia ribbon and pine cones, etc., as decoration). The effect with this paper was beautiful. The paper is quite thick and it texturizes well (crumpling for effect, etc.). This roll will last me many christmases and I suspect I will find other uses for it throughout the year. It's a good "butcher style" paper for crafters. | 5 |
I used this to make my own encaustic paints. They heat and melt quickly and do not add unwanted colors. | 5 |
I ordered these green aventurine stone beads to make bracelets. I like the 8mm size, all the stones are uniform in size, nicely rounded and smooth, just like pictured. Lovely polish.
Not like pictured, though, is the coloring. The strand I received is almost identical beads the same color (all the very palest green shown...ABSOLUTELY NO COLOR VARIATIONS AS SHOWN). If you're looking for color variation...its not here. Im disappointed.
All the stone beads are nicely balanced between translucent and opaque, having a nice rich green density of color.
They are well drilled, not sloppy off-center holes.
The free/included elastic string is horrible, it pulls apart into long separating elastic strands, not looking or feeling secure. Dont waste your time using it. Get your own string. Dont you think, if it was great elastic cording/string it would make users want to order more string product from them? To make more jewelry...and buy more beads?... Hmmm, makes me wonder why they send out such garbage.
This is my second order from this vendor.
Both orders WERE NOT LIKE THE POSTED IMAGES.
I received actual stones, price was ok... | 3 |
Works great on my watercolor paper. | 5 |
Holds my floss perfectly, and the winder made loading the bobbins quick and easy once I figured out how to securely attach it to the organizer. | 5 |
Great for para cord key chains at a good price. | 5 |
Just what I needed. Have used this product many times. Great price here and fast shipping. | 5 |
Wow! Awesome seller. Superduperfast delivery. Very highly recommended. Thanks so much. | 5 |
Dimensions Needlecrafts Needlepoin "Puppy Mischief" I have not previously reviewed this Dimensions product. When I opened the kit the printed canvas was missing. Unfortunately, I was working on another piece and did not open this kit within the return window.
Obviously, without the printed canvas, the kit is useless. Be warned! Open all Dimensions kits immediately upon receiving. | 1 |
It's fun to make this card and the die works great! | 5 |
I think this is a great buy. All of the patterns are appealing. I'm getting another package. I just wish that the paper was a bit better quality. It's not the worst by any means. It is a thin style of paper with a pleasing matte finish. | 4 |
Bought this set and gave to a budding artist. She uses them daily. Great variety and quality and price is perfect | 5 |
Love this yarn its super soft and feels great. The colors are very true to the picture at least of the grey version I received. Make a great hat or scarf pretty quickly. | 5 |
Can't go wrong with Ginghers...These are great for jumps and applique. Came packaged with 2 heavy Magazine Boards packages and the scissors box was crushed. Scissors were fine but, glad they were not a gift. | 5 |
it only comes in the Butterfly looking piece. The item is very weak so be careful. Mine from both packets were broken. COuldn't make another two necklesses. | 2 |
As described, timely shipment. | 5 |
This is a very clever device. Super easy to use - no learning curve whatsoever. I've been using cardboard donuts forever to make pompons... never again! I ended up wasting so much yarn the old way - tediously trying to get my pompons consistent sizes and perfectly shaped and trimmed. The Clover eliminates that process entirely! Your pompons come out exactly the same size and perfectly round every time. Only a few snips required for a perfectly round ball with a velvety-smooth surface. No more tedious pom-pom haircuts! You can make them as plush as you like, and they're still a cinch to tie. I'm gonna buy a bunch more yarn and cover my house with fat, plush, colorful pompons! Wheee!!
If you like ultra-soft, plump, velvety pompons, I recommend Red Heart E728.4422 Soft Yarn, Tangerine. Easy to work with! | 5 |
These are the greatest easiest crochet hooks to use. No snaging of yarn easy to hold. Was packaged well.. Received before delivery date. Which is always nice. Will purchase from seller again. | 5 |
Arrived damaged | 1 |
Glows nice, but is definitely not aqua colored, but green. | 4 |
