I use them on my external spool stand to mount the large cones. They work perfectly. | 5 |
OK, but bought same product before at Walmart and paper feel was different, more see through and" shiny" slicker feel. Did they change at strathmore? Or are stores differently selling same packaged look? | 4 |
These pens changed my life. They are on the speedy side, but being refillable and being able to replace the tips makes them invaluable. The color options and blending possibilities are endless and I can't think of another brand out there that can do what copies can do. This would be the ultimate gift or purchase for any artist, aspiring or veteran. | 5 |
I have not had any issues with these snaps using the plier on knit fabrics. Very happy customer! | 5 |

I have purchased many items from Graphic 45, stickers, tags, etc. There products are the best and of very good quality. | 5 |
Satisfied with product | 5 |
Fantastic tools | 5 |
I had been wanting to try the toned sketchbooks but was hesitant because in the hobby store the paper felt thin & not very durable. It also felt like it had little to no "tooth", (for non drawing folk that means the roughness that allows the device you are writing or drawing with to be able to make the mark you wish & for drawing tooth allows for multiple layers of graphite, charcoal, or colored pencil. OKAY! Here's the good news! I was WRONG! (I really do not like to admit that, it's rare, so enjoy it)
I have been doing product samples on this sketchbook as I do on all new paper that I'm trying for the first time. (you never want to be creating your masterpiece & discover that your luscious chocolate brown colored pencil looks more like something your dog created on your new paper!) So after some testing I have found that the paper is much more durable than it looks! Ballpoint pen, colored pencil, & graphite work fantastic. Erasing is not a problem if you are delicate about it. By delicate I mean normal erasing for art not grinding away with a rockhard old eraser. I tested this by erasing a 1" squared area then using the same pencil I created a smooth patch of color over that square & the one next to it. I couldn't tell a difference. I wouldn't try to erase pen, or a dark pencil mark. Using markers was a mixed deal. My pigma microns were great, sharpie's bled through.
I am very pleased so far, it has created a new spark in my drawing having the additional value to work with. (I bought both the gray & tan) I bought the smallest size available because drawing on a toned background is new for me. If I have any new information in the future I will post it, as of now I am extremely pleased overall and am sure I will be buying more in the future.
UPDATE: One thing I have found a little frustrating is the paper has multicolored fibers throughout. I didn't think that was a real issue at first until I was drawing a face, not really a portrait just an imaginary face & these dark fiber lines kept appearing in the most awkward places. I think the clearest description I can give is they look like eyelashes fell into the paper as it was being made. In one drawing it seriously looked like I had drawn a nose hair on this poor womans face! Not the look I was going for, and unless you are much better at changing your drawing midstream than I am you are then stuck with the nose hair or you will need to create some dramatic shadows. I could have done a "sex change" I guess, gave her a mustache... it was just a bit frustrating. I am by far not the greatest artist on the planet, I am really not even comfortable using the term artist to describe myself, I just like to draw. I still do like the sketchbooks but my paper preference is still Arches hot pressed watercolor paper in a bright white. I probably just need more work time with these. | 5 |
It's nice to have a bunch of these. There were a few duds in he pack but I got so many it didn't really matter. They work great. | 5 |
This is great! Just as described. Can't wait to get started using them for Amigurumi! | 5 |
This beeswax is clean, smells wonderful and is great for making cosmetics, salves, etc.... | 4 |
this don't work on my looms my loom is to thick i took a drimmel to my loom thanking i could just shave off some to get it to work then the holes on the back of the loom don't mach up the the small pegs that on in the middle of clasp . | 1 |
A little goes a long way, perfect for airbrushing | 5 |
I use a lot of page protectors and various brands of them but I find I prefer these. Couldn't say why exactly, but I do. Just wish they were cheaper with how many I use. | 4 |
I needed a pencil wrap and this one caught my eye. It is very pretty, holds all my pencils and is easy to carry and store. | 4 |
So glad I found this software! Tried a couple of others, but this one does everything I need, and does it so well! Merges multiple designs, resizes them, recolors them, easily creates the applique cutout designs to with a cutting machine, simulates color backgrounds, removes hidden stitches, allows individual parts to be manipulated and works even better with the AlphaTricks software. And there are a lot of tutorials on the internet. A great value!!! | 5 |
I am teaching a Jewelry Class. at my Senior Center and shall use these to glue to wire tubes and embellish for brooches. | 5 |
I thought this would be different however all it is, is a thick cloth. It does slowdown rolling but does not prevent it all the way. You get what you pay for. | 2 |
I love these brushes. I am actually considering purchasing another set for when they wear out which they will because I'm using them daily. | 5 |
It is in my new quilt.. I love it. The weight is just right and it is nice and warm, but breathes. | 5 |
Cute designs on this washi paper tape but the tape doesn't stick down as well as some other washi brands. The cutter on the box is a nice touch but I didn't keep them in the original box and the metal teeth might be a bit dangerous with kids around. | 3 |
Great thread. Have used it in the past, will continue. Love all the different colors. Will always recommend this thread. Thumbs up! | 5 |
I'm just getting back into plastic models again after nearly 60 years of working for a living. I wanted to obtain a airbrush device without the price tag of some of the first line companies and this Master G22 fits my needs well. I was totally surprised how much stuff was in the shipping container of which there was enough paints to keep me busy for quite a while. Note: the paints are pre-thinned so I don't have to go through all the machinations of trying to figure out the right paint consistency to put in the sprayer. That alone is worth the purchase price. I also appreciate the mixing cups and the wood sticks, although the sticks are a little big, but you can snap them in two. The "spit cup" for cleaning the brushes is heavy and it does have a holder for one brush. The table mounted brush holder won't fit my application since I'm using a Formica kitchen counter I found at Menard's closeout and I don't have a flat edge to clamp the device. So far I have used it on several models and I doubt that I will be upgrading for a long while except to add some more brushes and a quick connect pressure hose. | 5 |
Like the design. | 5 |
Fit perfectly in my fiskars rotary cutter. | 5 |
Although some people were really disappointed that their mat were creased or not authentic, I chose a vendor with an excellent reputation and my mat is perfect. Best Source lives up to its name. Ranger 15-Inch-by-18-Inch Inkssentials Craft Sheet | 5 |
We've used this machine for just a few small projects but it has been great so far. My daughter takes the machine to sewing lessons and the teacher was very pleased with the quality and ease of use of this machine. Will update as we get more experience with the machine, but so far we are very happy. | 5 |
I have used the die with very good results. It cuts the flowers so they are easy to usee. | 5 |
Was disappointed that I only received 1 sheet. Kind of expensive when just purchasing 1 sheet. I normally pay this for 3 sheets. | 3 |
i like it! | 5 |
Makes great stencils | 5 |
These adorable birds are going to be perfect for all of my mixed media creations! | 5 |
Just as described. Great for curling and balloons. | 5 |
I have used these needles before and have found them to be very satisfactory. They do not break unnecessarily and fit in my machines. In fact, they are recommended for my new Brother machine. I am pleased with their durability and easy flow into fabric. | 5 |
A very good buy for a jewlery maker(me) | 5 |
This has made sewing a lot easier. I don't have to keep stopping to loosen thread as I did using the thread holder that came with the machine. | 5 |
Love is love | 5 |
Three of the five needles fit in my sewing machine. The shanks of the other two are too large so don't fit. I guess I'll be sanding or filing the shanks down a little in order to fit. I have the same issue with the Schmetz Leather needles, too. | 2 |
Oh my gosh! These little birdhouses are ADORABLE!!!!! They just arrived today and they are just perfect!! I love them. I have absolutely no complaints. They are well constructed and very sturdy. They were boxed and in perfect condition when they arrived. I'm going to try and order some more!!! I highly recommend purchasing these little gems! | 5 |
This works so well and I love it best with the June Taylor rulers. Fantastic product!! | 5 |
Actually a bit larger than size written but that is fine. The price is right and they work well. The bright colors are an extra bonus. | 5 |
The paper is wonderful and great. | 5 |
Great lot of bottle caps..good quality. | 5 |
saves your patterns from being torn, since you transfer all your markings over to the swedish tracing papaer, plus the best part is you can pin it together to make adjustments before you sew so no guessing if patteern is going to fit. I will be buying this product as long as it exists, its great best money one could spend ,takes the hassel out of sewing.get it you'll be glad you did. I promise! | 5 |
This is better than I had imagined | 5 |
My daughter is so excited to start making crocheted items/ | 5 |
Very quick service. Great product | 5 |
Fun entertainment | 5 |
Love, Love, Love this hook. Wonderful to Crochet with. | 5 |
This foot works on my Brother 1850, but not my Pfaff 7570. It is easy to use and my binding look great. Friends have asked me how I got them to look so great! | 5 |
These work exactly as I was hoping they would. The size couldn't have been any better! I will order again. | 5 |
These needles are sturdy but the point on the needles is not sharp enough for knitting. A disappointment They are going back. | 3 |
Received today. First time to buy this satin floss. Very beautiful and bright colors. | 5 |
These brush pens are a real bonus. I use them at home and in the field. I am sure that I will buy more. Thanks for this chance to experiment with these on different papers. | 5 |
Item arrived early. Great value on the best sewing machine needles you can buy. | 5 |
I wish these were slick needles...alas, no. Other than that issue, an overall good needle with smooth joins and very nice point. If I could combine this needle's tip with Addi's slipperiness....
Update: I really like these needles. They work well for socks and mitts. While I still prefer the nickel of Addi's Sock Rockets, these perform as well, and I use them for magic loop. Reccomend! | 5 |
I purchased 3 of these over the years, I have the soft pink, white and blue. They have been very sturdy and held up well. I really like the ribbon closure and slot in the front for a small photo. There is also a lot of excess room inside for any leftover photos or photos that haven't been added to pages yet and I store the photo cd in there as well. They are a medium weight and will stand up on their own if you put the on a shelf. Overall I am very happy with these. If I have any issues with them I will update this review. | 5 |
You need these brushes. Period. Put water in them to use or put your inks or your golden flows in them. I've used several different ones and they either leak or the brush is not very good quality. These are superb. | 5 |
great fiberfill! nice and durable product! | 5 |
This light works a treat. I have a Sears Kenmore from 1963 that is solid cast iron and I needed a magnetic light. The magnet is strong and holds very well. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anybody who needs a magnetic light for the sewing machine. The light is bright enough that I can continue to sew into later evening when the sun sets. Before, the lights in my sewing room just weren't bright enough. | 5 |
These pliers work well. They are a good heavy tool that should serve me for a long time. | 5 |
I have been using my machine for about 3 or 4 months now and it has worked perfectly. I was very concerned with all of the negative reviews before purchasing, however, I did not have the budget for a more expensive machine such as an Atlas. Maybe they made changes to the machine, or maybe I got lucky. Love how it is much longer than other regular pasta machines. And the rollers do not leave black streaks on my clay. I also flatten out my clay as much as I can before running it through the rollers. I have heard this lengthens the life of your clay machines. I would suggest doing that as well. I will update my review as time goes by. For now, I definitely recommend this machine to people like me who have limited budgets and want to save that extra money for purchasing clay. | 5 |
Absolutely gorgeous colors. When mixed with other brands of either pan or tube watercolors, will make them pop up potentiating its brightness.
A note on the black.. it is still watercolor, so do not expect an intense black. For those purposes, you are better off with china ink. (Same with the white). I used them mostly to aid the other colors (to lighten and darken), but not as stand alone coloration in my projects. | 5 |
I like this product alot because of the different sizes, colors, and shapes! They are great for crafting, scrapbooking, and journalists!
You won't be disappointed! | 5 |
This is by far my favorite compound for sand blasting. It's a must have! | 5 |
I used this glitter on a painting I did for my sister. It was a Christmas piece. That being said I was happy with this glitter Or I wouldn't have given the painting to her. | 5 |
Really like these heart beads. PROS: These are the first heart shape beads that actually work for me in what I use them for. Other heart shapes have the indent that beads get stuck in or chip. These are thick and sturdy, I love how they hold. CONS: They seem to scratch easily and my biggest disappointment of all is there really isn't any RED colors, the one shown is actually a dark orange. Was really looking forward to it being red for Valentine's Day. Otherwise very cute. | 4 |
Great product and results are stunning | 5 |
This Walnut Hollow creative versa tool is clumsy to use because there is no swivel piece on the end, so when I use it the cord keeps getting wrapped around my wrist --very annoying. I have to keep readjusting my grip. The variable temperature control /on and off switch is about a foot from the end of the tool/my hand so it dangles in the air hitting my elbow and it constantly pulls on the tool, making it difficult to work with. Also hazardous because it can pull the tool off the flimsy holder or even onto the floor if you're not careful to watch that switch and make sure it stays on the table at all times.
Having the tool's on/off switch hitting against my hand all the time combined with the lack of a swivel end makes the whole thing super annoying to use, but short of spending almost $200 for the topoftheline wood burner tool made in Canada, it appears I'm stuck with this one. I only intend to use this occasionally on paper, so I will put up with it. If you are tending to use this for a lot of actual wood-burning activities I recommend trying to find one with a swivel and an on-Off switch that doesn't interfere with your work.
I am also disappointed because this item IS made in China -- the folks at Walnut Hollow prominently display their address in Wisconsin USA on the front packaging, giving one the (false) impression that the piece is made in the USA-- no it ISN'T. | 2 |
My new favorite die, especially when used in the shaped card per Christina Griffith. | 5 |
They break very easily. I get very frustrated with these needles. I won't buy them again. There are so many to just throw away. | 2 |
Bought these to use in my derwent electric eraser. The quantity for the price is amazing and overall the electric eraser is also awesome! It makes erasing so much easier and makes drawing more fun! I can now erase and creat precise and amazing curves like I couldn't before, and it has changed my drawing ability for the better. | 5 |
I chose not to do the outlining, still looked beautiful. I framed this for a gift for my grandmother's birthday. Looked great in the frame. | 5 |
shhh This is a gift. There is always a need for fine bristle brushes when doing detailed painting like the wings of a dragon fly. | 5 |
I like the little handle. It makes keeping up with the needle threader easier. | 5 |
My daughters are now in their early 20's, but when they were young, we used to love to work on art projects together. I wish the Craft-tastic Yarn Tree kit had been around then, because I know they would have loved working on it. However, as an artist and elementary educator, I still love children's art projects. This beautiful and fun to make project more than fits the bill. It is very easy and relaxing to work on too! (Besides the knotting at the tips, I would recommend a little glue to secure the yarn in place.) I currently have it displayed in my art studio, but plan to display it in my classroom sometimes too. Although it was designed to use as a necklace holder, it looks great as is or could be used for holidays with some simple coordinated or clear baubles for Christmas, as well as with some coordinating miniature easter eggs for easter. I've also thought of using it to display some of my artsy tags. I highly recommend this yarn tree for crafters of ALL ages! | 5 |
I have this brand of foil in lots of different colors, including Turquoise. It's super shiny and easy to use. I use the toner/laminator method, and sometimes I don't get complete coverage on my papercrafts, but all in all, I'm very pleased with this product. I'm kind of new to papercrafting, but I love how I can enhance my homemade greeting cards with foil to give them a very professional, non-homemade, appearance. I use a Brother laser printer, and a 3M laminator, and this method works pretty well for most applications. I do notice that the foil sometimes does not adhere perfectly to areas of large print, but as long as I use more intricate, detailed print, the foil performs beautifully! | 4 |
I haven't used this one yet, but everything about it thus far is great - I just love the design and the material is thick enough that it feels sturdy! I look forward to using it soon. | 5 |
Great, I love it ! | 5 |
Not as well made as I had hoped, but is an improvement on the straight metal hooks. Took a long time to receive the item. | 3 |
Unlike the other awful, rip-off quality Jesse James Beads we bought from Amazon these were fairly nice quality but again overpriced compared with what one pays for Jesse James Beads at the local crafts stores. | 3 |
When I received this, it was a much smaller gauge than expected... cannot return as I would take a big loss, and exchange isn't offered. I guess Ill find something to do with it... it looks like pretty decent wire, although Ive not unrolled any to use it. | 3 |
This is a great deal for the price. I may not use half of them, but considering outline stickers normally cost $2-3 per sheet, this is definitely worth it. The ones I have used so far look nice and are comparable in quality to other brands of outline stickers. | 5 |
This set is Super High Quality, and a Excellent buy. However I gave it a lower score since the Large Flat Spatula was broken from the handle upon receiving it. I'm sure It's an Isolated incident, Since I was able to get a Clear Shot of the Tack Welds used to manufacture these.
I would Buy these again, | 3 |
They were dull, and not smooth. When pushing though my fabric it felt like they were made of sandpaper. Very disappointed. Some even had blunt tips and we're completely unusable. | 1 |
Love this strap assistance. Easy to work with and outcome is great. | 5 |
I was so excited to finally get the magnetic pad for my BigKick. This is a definite life saver when using the thin dies!! | 5 |
Love this glue stick. I have used sooooooo many glue pens,sticks, etc...and this is hands down my favorite. I am an avid crafter and this never disappoints. Stop searching and put this in your cart. | 5 |
This yarn is thinner than I had anticipated. To me, it feels a little thinner than worsted. The only reason I deducted a star was because it is difficult to work with. It works up fine, but if you make a mistake, there really is not going back. I find that it just knots to itself and trying to rip out a mistake is pretty much impossible. I was able to do it a couple times, but it involved just ripping or cutting the yarn tangles apart. Other than that though, its pretty soft and definitely very cozy in the scarf that I crocheted with it. | 4 |
This is my last set of pencils to complete the set. This is a good deal and has a nice variety of the more blues and greens. These blend well and are a good medium set without being too basic or too expensive. I like this brand. | 5 |
Love being able to attach to the chiagoo cords when I am not working on that project and need my needles | 5 |
Great deal. Works well. | 5 |
Great set. No repeats. Only one did not flow instantly. Great coverage. Flows perfectly. The glitter gels are amazing. Get it while they last. The price is already going up. | 5 |
For years I used a Sizzix Big Kick for scrapbooking and papercrafting. I have slowly evolved into different crafts and am more recently starting to quilt. I never thought I would be interested in trying to do hexagon quilts but was looking for a project to take for a long flight. Buying this die and using to have some hexagons ready to hand sew seemed like the right thing to do. ;) I cut as many as 10 layers of fabric at a time while using this die and had no issues. As others stated there were times that a few corners were hanging by a thread but I was able to easily detach it. I will probably be looking to get another hexagon die (smaller) in the future. (By the way, I used my Silhouette die cutter to cut smaller hexagons to go in the middle for the paper piecing.) | 5 |
First keys I have purchased that actually look like real keys. The weight is just like a real key, color is of a vintage silver. I highly recommend these keys | 5 |
Best thread out there | 5 |
I am glad to have something this large to cut out items with my Silhouette Cameo. Great for any project | 5 |
Used this with wax seal sticks and it worked PERFECTLY! | 5 |
I have a few of these in my brush collection. Mostly the long-handled variety; one flat, one fan, and one short handled 00 sized brush.
The brush material is soft, has an okay spring, but isn't my favorite for watercolor. The 00 doesn't hold as fine of a point as I'd like. Also if the bristles get damaged or frayed, it is very difficult to impossible to reshape them. When I do use these (or other brushes with this type of nylon material) I tend to use them for thin acrylic paints and acrylic washes. They seem to hold better for slightly thicker paints. For watercolor painting I'd recommend their Sceptre Gold brushes. They hold a better point and last quite a few years. The Sceptre Gold are my favorite brushes for watercolor so far, even if they cost more.
As far as other synthetics in the price range, I recently found a competitor's brush that holds great promise. So far it holds a better point when painting with watercolor. If you do get these, they seem to work best with thicker paints like acrylics. | 3 |
