There are always a wide variety of crafts to experiment with, but making rubber band jewelry has been a real craze. Try obsession for some youngsters. Instead of heading to the library to do their homework, they grab their looms and head there to create. There are creative ideas galore for both boys and girls, but creating rubber band jewelry is a great, challenging hobby.
When I reviewed the book Rubber Band Jewelry, I wrote, "What's better than having a BFF? A craft that you can share with him or her. Of course there is duct tape art, but for the most part you can't wear or share that. Rubber band jewelry, of course is a whole `nother story. You can wear your creations or make them to share with your friends. You'll only need a loom, some rubber bands, and a few accessories and you're good to go ... for hours and hours that is."
The craze just seems to be getting bigger and better and this YazyCraft Mini Collection of rubber bands is one of the nicer collections I've seen. What I especially like is the carrying case, a case that can continually be refilled over and over again. It's a good solid carrying case with latches that will (hopefully) keep that rubber band collection from spilling all over the floor if it takes a tumble.
FEATURES:
Material: Bands and 100% silicone and are made for extra durability
Literally dozens of colors available - all the colors of the rainbow!
Includes 4000 rubber bands 100% compatible with all Loom sets and 100 easier to use `S' clips

All bands are designed for extra strength
The bands are of decent quality and the rainbow variety of colors perfect for anyone from the beginner to the pro. My set included a packet of extra beads and some glitter to give a little extra sparkle to the bracelets. Perfect craft kit for youngsters, but I'm sure a few grandmas enjoy making the bracelets as well!

I haven't used this yet but the dies cut to perfection. At least the ones I have used before. I love this design and am contemplating doing a quilt panel for short one piece curtains to go over my macrame curtains that cover half my kitchen and dining windows. I think this will add so much charm to my final design. I am going to design the curtains to lower and raise. | 5 |
Very comfortable and work great. Incredibly happy with this purchase. Would definitely recommend and refer others to purchase these. Thank you! | 5 |
Very easy to use with beading needles or alone if you apply glue to each end, That makes it stiff & easy to use like needles.
Would order again. | 5 |
Easy and nice to use. | 5 |
This is my go to tree stamp set. Very verdict all and stamps beautifully | 5 |
I too had a problem with that he separation of the first page which pulled the binding away but quickly realized it was operator error. Our instinct is to pull that first page back where the edge of the paper meets the same edge of the cover. But since it is glued as all books inner pages are glued to their cover, it needs to be folded back at the point where the glue meets the book cover and you would never have this problem. Don't try to pull it back further than it wants to go. Just put a fold on that first page right where it is glued down to the cover.
I inquired about whether this was 100% cotton and Pentalic replied to me within 48hrs to tell me it indeed is not and quickly had the misprint corrected on the Amazon advertisement. Paper is still excellent. Each IS SEWN into its signature and are like any well made book. The tooth is the same from front to back of page with great consistency.
I have used Strathmore, many varieties, Global Arts books, many varieties, Moleskine, Stillman and Birn, and others and I will tell you that this is my book of choice. It has the heaviest paper, with no warping, and takes wet into wet washes very well. Moleskine is only 120or 130# paper and warps like crazy. This paper will not. And it lays perfectly flat no matter where you open it.
As an artist I will tell you it is excellently made and withstands abuse. Color lifts easily, it will take scrubbing, etc.
There is a poor review below and I ask that you ignore it. This person obviously angry for not receiving a response sooner after an employee issue, and doesn't know how books are made, misspoke about the signatures, as well as tore their cover away from the binding. So, I felt I needed to write this review. I am an avid sketcher and have tried so many books. Pentalic is my go to book and I use no other anymore. If I had to compare this brand of Aqua journal to any other company I would compare it to Stillman and Birn yet I still prefer this company. | 5 |
Umm, it's sewing machine oil. It oils. What more can one say? | 5 |
I received this quickly and love this table. | 5 |
i purchased this machine via amazon.com approx. 2 years ago...easy to use...luved it.....the only problem is that it has recently died...it no longer stitches....there are no repair people who will work on electronic sewing machines in 100 miles from here so now i am going to have to buy another sewing machine...(i did everything i could do by myself with no results)...but for these past 2 yrs it has been great! i love the needle threader and all the other little luxuries it comes with.....i would recommend it, but be aware it may not last for a long time | 4 |
these are great love the colors different shades well order again | 5 |
My hands are starting to be a little shaky with age. The grips make a real difference. | 5 |
Works great for filing the edges of my metal jewelry pieces. | 5 |
Typical office paper. The kind that doesn't feel like paper at all. It feels cheap and easily breakable, but nobody wants to buy the nice stuff for expirable time dependant documents that end up trash anyway. The price is nice and you get what you buy. It doesn't feel 20lb or weighted. But still a good deal. | 3 |
More fun shaped pegboards to help me create unique designs. Adore the Bunny!!! | 5 |
exactly as discribed | 5 |
Very pretty and nice. Quality look. Will probably order again when supply runs out. | 5 |
This is a very interesting brush. It holds a lot of liquid for washes, the unique shape allows for easily making different strokes, and the tip holds a surprisingly fine point, making it quite versatile. I think it will be come one of the most-used brushes I have, especially the more moves I learn to make with it. This could very well be one of just three or four basic brushes - not counting riggers - one would need, depending on the size of your artworks. | 5 |
For what it is it is expensive, but the kids love making butter slime. that is what mattered. They watched for the delivery and were screaming when the computer dinged DELIVERED. It was boxed well and arrived on time. | 4 |
Very glad I bought this! | 5 |
Maybe my phenomenal luck ordering on Amazon has given out. I ordered this memory wire just as I have bought memory wire for years, expecting springy wire that I cut with my memory-wire only wirecutters; and in fact, I quickly cut several lengths upon its arrival, thinking to finish a set, then laid the cuts aside for a couple of weeks to do other work. When I came back to take up working with the mem wire, on my first turn under, the end of the wire snapped off. That was a new experience for me--in all the years I've used this material, I've NEVER had a piece snap like that. In the next couple of hours, I found that every dang piece snapped and it's not my technique. They snapped multiple times, which meant my pre-cut lengths, even with my extra bit for fiddling with, ended up too short and useless. They snapped with other artists. They snapped with people who do nothing but mem wire. The seven pieces I cut were a waste; I took samples at random down the rest of the coils, and it was hit or miss. A few pieces worked; most failed on one end or the other. At least the wire is recyclable, because it certainly wasn't useable. I'm giving them three stars for fairly rapid delivery and benefit of doubt; I tried to contact them, thinking maybe they got a bad lot of steel, and it wasn't a make-or-break amount of money, so I chucked it. I have photos I will try to post of the first few disasters, but some of the snapped off bits got away from me. Oddly enough, the ones on the floor didn't pick up easily with my magnetic sweeper, which up until now I hadn't had to use very much. Chalk it up to experience and carry on... | 3 |
I read a few reviews and they complained about the oil, but the oil is to protect the blades. Just wipe it off (carefully). They fit both of my cutters and seem to cut just fine. | 5 |
Wow! The colors, the images, the quality of the paper...so much more than I expected! These will be a fine addition to my cards and art journals. I have the matching die cuts and adhesive borders too. They look incredible together.

Large variety of needle sizes. | 4 |
For the price I love all the Darcie folders | 5 |
I don't use these for decorations. Make no mistake about it these are very small, I buy them for my cats to play with, my Maine Coon especially loves them. | 5 |
Great for touch ups in the house! | 5 |
Works great - easy for arthritic hands! | 5 |
These plastic sleeves are perfect for storing my clear stamps and metal dies. Great quality and have already ordered more. | 5 |
These mats are okay, just not great in my opinion. They are very thick as compared to other more expensive brands, which may or may not bother you. I don't care for it because they won't fit into my connecting clips, the clips used to assemble more than one mat in a row, so if you have clips from othere brands of mats they probably will not work with these mats. | 3 |
Good quality yarn | 5 |
add to paint or clear coat. | 5 |
I recently had a large hand embroidery?applique project that I decided to thread all of my various needles that I had on hand so I could work without stopping. These needles won hands down for gliding through the fabric. Seriously, hands down. I had some that were more expensive that I felt like I had to "poke" them through while these glided like butter.... | 5 |
This is the only threader I use. I was having trouble finding it in the stores so was very glad when I saw it on Amazon. It fits most needles and it lasts use after use. | 5 |
great price, delivery timely | 5 |
Couldn't pass up a good deal on quilting tools. Having the right tool at the right time...priceless!! | 5 |
These trays are great, wood is nice, color is good, stain adheres well. | 5 |
Excellent quality, non slip grip, and happy to support a family owned business based in the USA. You cannot beat the quality, and the price is a steal. | 5 |
I love ordering these, they come in colors that are very useful and are a good quality. I have ordered these many times. | 5 |
i love these dies theree are so much you can do with them | 4 |
This is a great mat! Love that I can get from Amazon | 5 |
This is a really nice set of 24 watercolor pencils, all boxed, sharpened and ready to use. The pencils can be used dry as regular colored pencils or with water to create a watercolor effect. As is true of most colored pencils, the colors are not very dramatic unless you go over an area several times, but what is especially good about these pencils is that they are difficult to break. I was an art major in college, and I remember the pain of dropping a Prismacolor pencil on a hard floor, knowing that it had probably broken inside. That doesn't seem to be an issue with these at all. I always sharpened my Prismacolors with a knife, but these should sharpen well in a pencil sharpener - especially one of the cheap hand-held ones (so they don't gum up an electric sharpener). These were pre-sharpened, so I haven't needed to try that. You can apply the watercolor effect with a brush or even just smudge the colors with a moistened fingertip. You can then let the dampness dry and leave it at that or go over the image again with colored or regular pencils or ink. The color selection is white, black, gray, two purples, four greens, three blues, two yellows, three oranges, two pinks, two reds, three browns. They come in a metal box for better protection and I would say that the set is suitable for artistic kids and adults alike. The set was made in China and I received a free set in exchange for an honest review, which this is. | 4 |
Can't go wrong with Oracal vinyl! | 5 |
Good stand by | 5 |
These are quite pretty, but you don't get very many. They will be a gorgeous addition to a necklace, but will increase the cost of my necklace by $8 just to break even. I don't think its likely to be profitable to use many of these. But as I said, they are very beautiful beads. | 4 |
There beads are so pretty. The glass is nice and polished and the designs a d colors on the beads are stunning. Would definitely recommend!! | 5 |
Fantastic glaze. Used it to make hundreds of pendants, magnets and key rings using glass tiles. Easy to work with, dries quickly and very clear. | 5 |
I love them around the house. | 5 |
Best idea for airbrush palette I have ever seen or used. i bought extra bottles for thinners, mediums and water. Also have poured paint and inks into them to use with this palette. ArtBin make a satchel to carry two of these in. If you use an airbrush, check these out. | 5 |
Dear Near Mart this Sewing Machine Threading Tweezers is useless. The metal material is so weak that I can bend it with my own hands. So in contact with a sewing machine the tool that does not perform at all. Actually one of the tools came vended already and I straightened with my own hands. I feel is better to have one tool that works than four useless tools. Your company should discontinue your tools because it cannot provide any help or normal performance. I know is a small amount of money less than 6 dollars but add the shipping and if I have to return it is more money in mailing. I feel is a waste of money to buy the tools so you should make a better tweezers next time.
Sincerely,

Such cute stationary!!! Will make wonderful spacial event cards <3 | 5 |
I was very disappointed in the quality of this bag. It is flimsy, doesn't seem to be made well, and doesn't feel like it will protect my machine. I am concerned it will wear quickly. Also - there is not much room for anything else. I think the pockets could use a little more give. As for the value, if I would have know about the quality, I would not have paid more than $10-$15 for it. | 2 |
I love this shoe it is awesome. I will add a picture | 4 |
These beads are so pretty. They have so many reflecting colors and the deep green color was just what I was looking for. | 5 |
Sending them back. They are a dark color, not a shiny color that would look silver or even stainless steel. Not of a quality that I want on my handmade earrings. | 2 |
meh | 3 |
very well made, fast delivery. | 5 |
size in description -- from site -- "Product Details: Product Dimensions: 3.2 x 5.1 inches ; 0.8 ounces" --/// --actual size 2 1/2. X. 3 1/4. Inches, that is a huge difference in size when it comes to stamps the only Tim Holtz product I have been disappointed in...totally useless :( | 1 |
these were smaller then expected but usable.. | 3 |
A+ Great product! Worked great for all of my beading! | 5 |
Purchased to color homemade lotions and body scrubs. A little goes a long way and it does not cause any discoloration on your skin. | 5 |
I works on intricate stamps, good product. | 5 |
If you don't have something like this it's a must for heavy multi-layer seams like flat felled on jeans. | 5 |
Love the freedom this gives you to not half to have the embroidery machine hooked up to the pc! | 5 |
Love Candle Science have used their products for years | 4 |
delivered as promised--works great! | 5 |
These are high quality snips with blades that hold their edges to the tips. The finger loop takes some getting used to and is a bit slower than snips without the loop, but the added stability is worth it in the end. I like that they can be used with either hand; they fit well in my small hands. I took off one star for a small but vexing issue: the minuscule transparent safety loop is too easy to lose track of, and without it your snips will dull and even worse turn into a sharp menacing daggers in your sewing kit. I'd prefer a heftier, easy to see safety cap. But otherwise great snips. | 4 |
Our lefty loves these. | 5 |
Not at all what I thought it would be. It appears to be a fine grit sharpening stone that at best only works if you apply extreme pressure and use it repeatedly. | 3 |
The 3 size rolls provide for covering of most of the basic hardbound books type. Good quality. Shipped promptly. | 4 |
I love this cutting mat. You an use this over and over again and never know that it has been used. | 5 |
Great storage. | 5 |
Nice scissors. I have an older pair of Mundials, which seem to be sharper. These had a bit of trouble cutting though some thicker fabric I was using. But all in all a good pair. | 4 |
very nice assortment | 5 |
Blades dull, cut jagged. | 1 |
So many pens and so many color is a great product. | 5 |
This is a life saver and lets me breathe on fat days. | 5 |
Great for face painting! | 5 |
Anything quilting is good!!! Beats using a cup or saucer to make round corners. | 5 |
I think I'll need to get the other sizes as well, but this is awesome for my projects. I love that I don't need tons of pins. | 5 |
I've been using this product for almost 30 years & all of my paintbrushes are still in perfect condition. | 5 |
I use these constantly. They cut out perfectly every time! | 5 |
We love the Qube. It gives us many options for quilt blocks and is easy to store because of the self contained box. | 5 |
Still need to use these. New in great condition. | 5 |
Great colors to match to my beads. | 5 |
I bought this because I also spin and I wanted a swift that can double as a skeiner. This one is cheap and it can be both. I bought mine last year and it's still going strong. It's a simple design and I have no complaints about it. | 4 |
This product will not replace a serger. It will do the cutting and stitching however that the serger can do. Read
all the reviews as they provide excellent tips on how to use this cutter without stress or frustration. Wonderful
addition to my machine accessories. | 5 |
I chose this set specifically because it shows rolling tools of various lengths. As I am trying to make rolled paper beads anywhere from 0.5 to 1.25 wide, I thought this was perfect. Unfortunately, the tools all have a slot about 0.5 long regardless of how long the pin is. If that had been made clear in the description or photos I would not have bothered. However the tools such as they are, are pretty good quality considering I ended up paying less than $2 each. Cheap enough that if my idea of using a jewelers saw to extend the slot on one fails, I won't be mad! | 3 |
These Czech glass beads look great in the jewelry I make, (earrings, bracelets and necklaces), The colors are nice and clear. | 5 |
Disappointed that these markers are the old big barrell shape which was changed in 2013, so this is REALLY old stock. They work okay though.
The proper paper is a "must" to get that seamless blending effect. Spectrum Noir website has a lot of information and support on how to get the best results from this investment. | 4 |
I'm disappointed, as I have purchased this brand before and loved it... A few of my paints are dried up and the black is super thick too, moreso than it should be (I used this same product a few years ago and it was not the same). I am not sure if the change is with the product itself, or if I just happened to receive an old batch. | 2 |
These are the worst pencils I have-worse than Dixon. The graphite is good but the wood is impossible to sharpen with a sharpener. I've tried several sharpeners and the tips of these pencils just keep breaking off. | 1 |
This is an amazing product!!!! I wish I bought this long time ago! It would have made my life so much easier! | 5 |
Does it's job. Wish it didn't stink so bad while doing its job though. | 5 |
I put off buying these for a long time because they were so expensive, but finally tried them and they are definitely worth it. They are flexible but retain their shape. Other needles bend and warps after a few uses, but these needles are still
Straight after several projects. I also break other needles frequently, not these. No breaks yet. I'm definitely going to stick to this brand from now on. | 5 |
I can't find out how to do pop-up.but I hope i can soon.it's got a lot of neat looking things to do. | 3 |
Very soft and very pretty. | 5 |
Rusted, not stainless | 1 |
this cartridge is so neat. I'm so glad I got this. The cards are all very neat. I love this cartridge. | 5 |
It is working fine in my viking Topaz. It is a REALLY big spool. I wonder how long it will last me? I sew everyday. | 5 |
