The beads I received looked NOTHING like the pic, they were horrible. I returned them immediately, don't waste your money. | 1 |
I didn't think I would ever use this, but instead I use it EVERY time I go to turn a tube!!! I was SO used to using a safefy pin or something to turn stuff that I figured I would never use this but I sure was wrong! GREAT item that I would not want to be without now! | 5 |
I love this stamp. Have so far used it with blue ink and heat embossed it for use on cards. Great look. | 5 |
I love these dies. They cut cleanly, and they just look so nice when used in scrapbooking. They are the right size because they add the right touch without being overbearing and too big. | 5 |
At first, could not find the screws to attached these to the cube they were supposed to go on, but after hitting a busy signal and about to redial, the casters turned over, and there were the screws tucked into the casters. They would have bitten me if I was careful. But as far as once attached, they're working great. One star off for having to search for the screws for 10 minutes. | 4 |
I have used this to straighten my wire . | 5 |
Handy assortment of sewing needles... | 4 |
The original (which was my mothers) finally gave out after 25 years!! | 5 |
So fun! Making stickers is addicting! Good price on refill pack | 5 |
I used this die cut during the holidays, on my cards and pillow boxes. The creations can out beautiful. Sizzix dies are a great investment. | 5 |
Color just as illustrated and came promptly. | 5 |
Love Faber-castel products | 5 |
Get for what I need them for! Haven't used but one. | 5 |
As I progress on learning watercolor, the one thing I hear/read again and is paints can be cheap, brushes can be cheap but use good paper. This isn't good paper by a long shot.
Watercolors act differently depending on the quality and composition of the paper. Cellulose aka wood pulp paper doesn't respond as well as more expensive cotton paper. But as I learn less expensive student grade papers have their place in exercises and preliminary sketches.
Today I decided to compare my papers side by side. I have this Bee paper, Strathmore 300 & 400 (both cellulose), Cason XL student grade and Arches cotton cold press which is considered the best paper on the market. All claim to be 140 lb weight papers. This comparison lead me to writing this review.
Of all the student grade papers, Bee is the worst. First all the other papers are clearly the same weight and thickness and didn't buckle under the smallest addition of paint. The Bee paper by eye and feel is quite thinner than the others. I even had to double check that it wasn't 90 lb and it wasn't. The Bee paper buckled with even a small application of paper that wasn't even a watery wash.
The problem with this paper (and some other student grade paper) is that even simple exercises don't come out right and can be frustrating. You may even feel like you can't master the basics. I tried doing flat wash practice and all I got was a blotchy mess. I decided to sacrifice a pricey sheet of Arches to see if it was me or the paper. My washes on the Arches were beautiful and flat. I'm not saying do all your work on the most expensive paper when you start out but do experiment with different student papers that perform better than this one.
It's hard to progress with watercolor if you never get to experience what the the medium can do. In my side by side comparisons the Strathmore 300 & 400 are much, much better in that order.
You get what you pay for. | 1 |
Great to use on crochet pattern markers | 4 |
I see there are some extensive reviews for this machine and the skeptical side of me wonders if these glowing reviews are paid reviewers instead of actual customers. I am a quilter and dreamed of having a sewing machine with the Quantum's features. I watched You Tube videos showing this Singer's features and dreamed of being able to have such a sophisticated machine. so, my wonderful hubby bought this as a surprise for Christmas. Like some reviewers I was in total love at first opening the box and tried all the features within the first week. I too was very in love with the automatic cutter and the beautiful stiches. I took the machine to a 4 day quilt retreat some distance away. I sewed on it 2 days without incident and then it simply stopped feeding the bottom thread and started eating my fabric. This should not have happened, as I was sewing 2 pieces of cotton together. A professional sewing dealer was at the retreat and she helped me blow out the machine with air, helped me remove and reinsert the bobbin holder to no avail. I got to sit the next 2 days at a quilters retreat with no machine to use. Thanks Singer. I would hope your machine could stand up to more use then just 2 days before some small part somewhere went on the fritz. I can tell you that the 45 woman at the retreat are talking about the machine- and not in a favorable light. I do not recommend this machine as obviously it will not hold up under heavy sewing or a lot of use. | 1 |
Not to impressed. Look and feel like they will break easily. Bought these thinking they looked like the hooks one of my fav YouTube sites uses in her crochet tutorials. I'm pretty certain they are not as these don't look like they would hold up to some of the stitches I've seen done.
Suppose it's not really fair to assume though so I added a star back. Time will tell. | 3 |
REALTREE, MY FAVORITE!!! | 5 |
Very big! Much too big for my needs but still good quality and cute | 4 |
This is a good sketch book that is the same size as a standard notebook. The paper works well with pencils and pens. I have used it for some markers and some work great, others bleed through. So, I wouldn't recommend it if you primarily use markers and really wet tip pens. I use this to sketch and use colored pencils primarily. I have also used it with basic Crayola markers to practice hand lettering and those it worked ok with. I wouldn't sit there and try to use this notebook to do lots of ink work though and get a mixed media pad for that.
The sketch pad could be improved upon for sure, but for a $5 sketch book this is pretty good.
The pocket folder page is also helpful if you are sketching from a photo or something else. Its a little hard to fit the torn out page into the pocket, but it can work. I would probably try to use it for other items that are not regular printer type paper sized though. | 4 |
Order never arrived.. E-mails to seller went unanswered..do not order from this supplier.. | 1 |
Beadnova 100 pcs Silver Plated Crystal Rondelle Spacer Beads 8mm
the packaging and delivery of these wonderful accent bead are just the thing I need to make my project pop.
Thank you Amazon for having given me the opportunity to order them from my favorite resource. | 5 |
Very nice and soft, great item. | 5 |
A nice wool. It is soft. Does have some plastic hairs weaved into it for color and texture. I made a scarf and a hat. It is not real thin or bulky, so kind of in between. Is a warm yarn good for winter items. | 4 |
I haven't used this ruler yet but I needed it for a project and I think it will work very well. | 5 |
This is a wonderful, complete set for all your accessory needs. Not to big for travel. I really like it! | 5 |
Have not used yet, but it is exactly what I expected. | 5 |
Worked well for the stone wrapped necklaces my son is making. | 5 |
Have been using this to airbrush for a couple months, and while it does let me make fine adjustments to air pressure, the gage is worthless for reading minute adjustments. I usually work between 5 and 20psi. Other than 0 and 20, you are stuck reading a bunch of marks. Impossible to read. Worthless. You are pretty much left using feel to make small adjustments. Used 7 psi last time? Hope you remember what that feels like. Should have tried to find some better pictures.
It also needs re-adjusted if I fill up my compressors tank in the middle of a session. Maybe this is normal for regulators.
Make sure to use thread tape and you will have no leaks. There are very few options out there when it comes to these. I can put up with it for now. But if you need to fine tune your airflow you will need to spend more | 3 |
I only gave this 2 stars because the claws stay in my hair. But I have no idea how many of these they would need to hook together to even try to make it look like this model. I used a nail polish bottle so you could get an idea of the real size. Oh and the gold looked tarnished on the claw clips | 2 |
their big but their also space savers. I love mine. thank you for such a good product. | 5 |
lovely selection of stickers specific to tea parties. Unique and difficult to find topic. Greatly appreciated find. | 5 |
I have four daughters, all of whom are currently nuts about shrinky dinks. But they wanted to design their own. This huge pack contains the perfect solution. I rough up one side with fine sandpaper (typically I do a dozen or so at a time) which allows the kids to use colored pencils. We've been experimenting with markers, too, but only for the older ones. The clear film lets us print out designs, then overlay the plastic for tracing. The finished product is a bit thicker than standard Shrinky Dinks, but this has worked out well since the kids have been dabbling with creating more "professional" pieces for use in jewelry. I hole-punch each piece, then attach a tiny ring after baking to turn it into a charm. I may or may not be trying to stimulate their entrepreneurial spirits early... | 5 |
GREAT ITEM, GREAT SERVICE. | 5 |
A large surface with light that can easily be dimmed for comfort or increased for clarity. Very light and easily portable. Wish it came with a case for protection when not in use. but otherwise it's perfect. Glad it's here :-) | 5 |
This works well if you know that it's a ONE TIME DEAL...so iron on each letter SEPARATELY....I laid out my words and then iron all of them on, but because I couldn't pull the backing off fast enough, the letters at the end of my sentence cooled and stuck forever to the backing...if I took the back off, the letters ripped off the shirt and of course I'm not going to leave the backing on because you can't otherwise see the letters. I took my 'mess' to a local printing company and they attempted to salvage it with professional equipment and couldn't. Basically if you want to use these you MUST do ONE letter at a time and then be very careful to NOT accidently iron over the letters you have already done or they will melt. I gave it 3 stars because no where in the directions does it state this and because it was a epic disaster, but now that I know what I know (thanks to the printing company that tried to help and explained the type of letters these are) I think it would work great, and I would give it another try knowing what I know. Just take it slow, do one letter at a time, don't re-iron any letters that are already done. Best of luck! :) | 3 |
Best product there is for cleaning brushes. Will buy again. | 5 |
The colors are bright but not as vivid as I expected. They seem to be easy to use and mix. I'm not in love with them because they don't seem any better than the FW Inks by Daler Rowney. In face the FW Ink colors are brighter and clearer. Both are pigment based, both are water-soluble, both are waterproof when dry. The FW Inks are a fraction of the cost and a little brighter. I returned these. I'll stick with the acrylic inks. | 3 |
High quality, trust worthy brand. | 5 |
it's a ring tool, what can i say ? | 5 |
They are cute and look like the picture. They didn't come with the strawberry label seals though and they took almost a month to receive. For $3 I would recommend theses. | 4 |
Love these. I got tired of dropping all the bobbing in the floor trying to open the old plastic ones I had. These are great because they go in tight and the strings don't come out much to get tanged up. The bobbing stay put. You can see exactly what colors you already have. Highly recommend these. | 5 |
Easy to use. Versatile. Must have for any paper crafter. | 5 |
Love these embossing folders. So many beautiful possibilities using this. Embossing, debossing, letterpress, the list goes on. Absolutely love this. Very durable. Not flimsy. A must have in your craft supplies. I want the whole collection of these. All are beautiful. | 5 |
Great for your cards and envelopes. Love using these with my different color inks. Much nice than looking at my writing. | 5 |
it is great. can't wait to use it. It is all I thought it would be and the shipping was super fast. have since ordered more kaffe fassett for my stash. | 5 |
Simple shiny black onyx. Beautifully faceted.
Came with 3 loose pearls, I don't know for what. I would've liked a keyring better which came with the tiger eye order from the same seller. | 5 |
Great color, soft, and a great price for the size. Would buy again. | 5 |
I bought this to use on a GSD pup with a floppy ear. I found it really too runny for this purpose and prefer the brush on glue for dogs. It does work well for repairing leather. I have a leather chair that had a rip and it bonded well. I would still prefer to use a brush on glue over the liquid form. | 3 |
I always need extra gold. I am working on a ceiling project in my fairyland hall and these are a good value. | 5 |
I use these clips all the time while quilting and sewing several thickness. They are much easier than pins and do not distort the fabric when sewing. They are sturdy and I like the variety of colors. | 5 |
This cellophane is substantial enough not to rip on its own. | 5 |
Love this stuff but the roll is way too small. | 4 |
Excellent product. Colors are much nicer when you see them in your hand. Great zippers, work perfectly and I love the little pull piece on the end. Terrific value too. | 5 |
for some reason this doesn't work well on my Janome 6500. It did at first, then the threads locked up and it hasn't sewn the same since. Until I get the machine to behave itself I can't use it. It has been an ongoing battle with this machine and I just got it in July. | 3 |
I think this is a fantastic way to build up your floss inventory. Yeah - so they ain't perfect. Instead of all the skeins being 1 complete length - I did have a couple, maybe 3 skeins that were either cut or tied together. I'm going to cut the strands anyways, so that doesn't bother me. I did compare the colors to my DMC floss and for the most part - they match. However, there are some colors that are not exact. Does that matter to me - not in the least. I had rather have the variety of colors at a good price. I will use these to kit my small patterns and I think they'll turn out just fine. I have pictures of some of the colors. I got anxious to get them on bobbins and stopped taking pictures. Let me say - I am pleased that the majority of the colors do match up well with the DMC floss that I do have. Either way - I will enjoy using this floss and I plan to buy again. In the pictures - the ones labeled TN - are thread nanny floss and the other is DMC. As you will see - for the most part, the colors match up well enough. | 5 |
Pretty color mixed in with the paddy green making a blanket got my mom with it | 5 |
These were required by my art teacher and they really are easier to work with than the other brands. | 5 |
This tool is so versatile and useful, my kit can't be without it. | 5 |
Though small, this does a great job of counting yards of a DK weight yarn - and I would assume that it does just as well on larger (and smaller) yarns. It is a bit difficult to 'mount' temporarily - and I ended up just holding it while pulling the yarn with the other hand - thus the 4 stars. For the price, it does the job. Very pleased with it. | 4 |
I would recommend this product to anyone knitting or crocheting a
piece that would like the look of a blended color change. These
colors are soft and beautiful. | 5 |
Disappointed in the quality of the brush material. Looked to be capable of holding a fine point but in use, won't do so. | 2 |
It OK. | 3 |
I don't actually have a cricut, I have a silhouette Cameo, but these cricut tools seemed like they were crafted better than other tools on the market. It also had really good reviews so I thought I would give them a try. They work great, are affordable, and are pretty cute to boot! | 4 |
Didn't fit me, and awkward. | 1 |
I HATE TAG FACE PAINT......besides this one. This has very bright, wonderful pigments...and goes on easy. It is still very sticky, like all TAG paint...but it will work great if used properly. The only thing, is this item is WAY over-priced for the amount of paint you get and how fast it goes. You use a lot of paint to get the effect you want, and the cake will not last very long if you use it regularly. | 4 |
Great watercolor sketchbook! The pages are secure, the paper is thick enough to paint on both sides, it can open up to be completely flat, and I like having the band to keep things flat. I like the different sizes as well. I haven't noticed any water resistant places. I really like these journals! | 5 |
Good box for storing all of my crochet hooks | 5 |
Okay, I wrote a review earlier and here is my final comment. Probably would be a good press. Was easy to setup - probably would have worked for me after I found a tutorial on youtube. However, couldn't get the issue of the control unit resolved in a timely manner. Too much lag in communications with Great Price 4U2. My suggestion is before taking everything out - make sure you have the right plug!!! | 1 |
love these bulk items | 5 |
There will be a learning curve with these for sure, as I am use to typical paintbrushes. BUT, good quality and I think I will enjoy them in the long run. | 4 |
Very pretty. I cut them smaller to work on cards. | 5 |
I was a little worried when I opened the box (it was -15 F outside) and it was frozen solid. I let it thaw, gave it some good shakes and it seems fine. Fun for school projects, crafty items and other fun projects. | 4 |
I was happy to find this embossing powder at such a reasonable price ($1.50). However, I think I should point out that the picture is not accurate. The jars I bought are small (15 mL), not the large-size jar shown in the product picture. As for the product itself, it's quite good! | 5 |
I just received this US Art Supply 9" x 12" Premium Drawing Paper Pad today and I want to do a review in its quality and my first impressions on it!
The Pad size is 9 in. X 12in. in the size a pretty good size to make sketches and drawings, the weight is 60 lb. or 100 gms this makes the paper very resistant when drawing, erasing and using different kind of dry media as the cover or the pad mentioned and as you can see in the picture in the middle.
This paper can be use with charcoals, pens, markers, pencils and all kind of erasers. The paper is attached in a way than is easy to remove when the drawing or sketch is done, this is very importan to either display the work, handle to somebody or just put in a frame.
The pad comes with 50 sheets and the texture of the paper is nice, as you can see in one of the pictures, making the drawings and sketches to look more professional.
I am really very happy with this pad and I am very excited to start drawing in it and even use my art color pencils with it too! | 5 |
she loves her crafts | 4 |
Great set of pens. Excellent value. Very happy with my purchase. Ink is smooth, fluid, and ultra bright. Have already gotten a lot of use out of them. I love the colors! | 5 |
Well built , very needed! | 5 |
Well, they arrived and what is there to write? It is what it is. Cute packaging like photo. | 5 |
Love this, I have not used it yet, but I will. | 5 |
This item works - so far, and it came in the package as shown, except the bulb itself has a big burnt mark on the inside of the glass, as if it was burnt out - badly, and somehow they replaced the guts, without cleaning it first. I find it unlikely that they are recycling these things, but that is what it looks like. How else could it get burn marks on the inside of the glass?
Anyway, I need my sewing machine back, so I stuck it in there, and it lit up, so I'm keeping it. I will certainly update this review, if it only lasts a short time before blowing again. The original one on the machine didn't really last very long, either, and these things are way to expensive for a short life span. If it blows again, anytime soon, I'll be finding an external spot light, instead. (Next time, I'll be more careful to choose a machine that doesn't need specialty lights to use it.) | 2 |
Great brushes as far as disposable brushes go wonderful coverage | 5 |
These stamps live up to the picture displayed. The details stamp very clearly. I haven't used them with clay yet . | 5 |
This is one of my most commonly used stencils. It holds up to paint, gesso, ink, and other mediums. | 5 |
cute little stamps. | 4 |
First time using a marking pen on fabric but this worked great. | 5 |
The magnetic sheets do not hold the thinlit dies in place! They fall off as soon as you try to turn he page. | 2 |
Very nice item. | 5 |
Ido not care for this style but do have an the same brand in a light gray color. The light gray seems to be a narrower tip therefore grabs most everything. This one that is black and pink is harder to open and the tips are wider making it more difficult to grasp tiny intricate items. I would search for the other style and would not order this style/coloring again. It is the 2nd pair of this coloring that is too thick etc. | 2 |
I have purchased from this company before and will again. Great quality and price. | 5 |
This works as described but Im finding it easier to just use a regular 14x14 mat and simply turn it. | 3 |
is ok | 3 |
I hesitated buying this because of mixed reviews but I am so glad I did. I use it at shows and online to display aprons I make and sell and they look beautiful on this stand. I love that it is lightweight and breaks down very easily. My only complaint is that it needs a special pin to hold the bottom part of the body on and I was forever losing it because it is so small. I "fixed" this problem by attaching it to the top of the body by the hole it goes into with a sturdy thread. It is not heavy duty, but if you are careful with the form it shouldn't break. It has survived six shows and two floor drops with me so far. | 5 |
Always a joy in our house! | 5 |
Not sure why anyone is complaining about these. I used to help a friend at her jewelry store once in a while and this is pretty much status quo equipment. | 5 |
Works great for that batting. Really holds up well with washing. Great find as to not waste so much batting. | 5 |
If you are just starting painting and don't want to invest alot of money on paint.. then this is a great product. After you paint a year or so and find you are serious about painting then you need to ask your teacher to recommend a better paint for you. Great starter paint. | 3 |
Crazy. Who would have thought white ink would be so much fun?! Tim Holtz and the folks at Ranger really nailed it with this "color". The effects are so gorgeous, you'll be dragging out all of your dark paper and going to town. I use this and the one of the TH stencils on a project and the effect was really beautiful!
It's just the right consistency, not too thick and opaque, but not runny and thin either. You can use stamps, a paint brush and of course use the whole stamp pad itself. | 5 |
My FAVORITE planner stickers. Except that they are half this price at Hobby Lobby (I found out after the fact). | 4 |
Fast shipping! Cute colors! | 5 |
