I am an avid crocheter and I have been dying to try Tunisian crochet, so I decided to get this set and give it a whirl. There are 12 bamboo hooks in this set, ranging in size from 3mm to 10mm. The metric sizes are clearly marked on the hooks, but the US sizes are not. That is not a deal breaker for me because I can easily google it to get the conversions. Each hook has a tube attached that is kind of like the tubing used with air pumps on aquarium tanks. Each tube has a large bamboo bead on the end of it, then there is a knot tied in the tube to keep the bead attached. The bead is, of course, to keep your work from sliding off the end of the tube. The tube itself is pretty long. I just measured it, and from the tip of the hook to the bead at the end of the tube, it measures almost 47 inches, so you could make something fairly large with these. So far they seem like good quality, durable hooks. The hooks themselves are not at all flimsy. They are smooth, and do not catch on my yarn. The tubing is smaller than the hooks, but that does not matter because the hooks are used to get the correct sized loops in your work. The tubing just holds on to your work just like circular knitting needles do. I like that there is a slight indention in the hook where your thumb would be, for comfort while working. I am quite happy with this set! I did receive this set at a discount in exchange for my honest review. | 4 |
These melt well and they go a lot farther than I thought - sealing about 70 scrolls only took about 2 1/2 sticks. The color is a beautiful deep red. | 5 |
Love these brushes. I have several sets. Great for travel. | 5 |
What I ordered not disapointed | 5 |
I keep coming back for more of this so I have to say it does what i want with no problems, as Im fairly new at clay and using it, I have messed it up at times, but one thing i have found if i mess it up, i just roll it again, sometimes using colors its mixed but then you got a new design, so I would definitely recommend sculpey, although i do like sculpey 111 a bit better, a little softer. | 5 |
These are awesome! I was unsure if they would be of the same quality as some of the other ones on Amazon, but they looked identical to the more expensive ones, and I decided to take a risk. I am so glad I did, because I paid less than half of what I would have paid for the more expensive, likely identical product! I tested these chalkboard sticker labels to adhere to mason jar glasses and use them for drinking glasses for my upcoming wedding. They stay on perfectly, even when the glass is sweating and you handwash (I don't plan to try the dishwasher)! I am not sure how easy they are to take off, because I want to keep them on! If you are using these for the same purpose I am, you NEED a waterproof chalkboard paint pen - a normal one won't do! Try Simply Remarkable Waterproof Chalk Pen | 5 |
The product is 35-3/8" x 47-1/8" On what planet is that the same as 36" x 48" The mat also is not flat and has a bad wave probably caused in shipping due to poor packaging. Returning. | 1 |
Once I washed it, it lost it's shape bad | 1 |
Super simple to use. They were great for keychains. | 5 |
Nice big selection of colors, shapes and sizes. | 5 |
Very happy with all purchases. Also all were delivered on time. | 5 |
I don't hesitate to purchase Fredrix stretched canvas for any size I want for my paintings. I appreciate that these have very well braced corners so they stay true to size and shape. These are more reasonably priced than any other similar brand. | 5 |
Careful, pointy tips, will draw blood. | 5 |
The buttons themselves were as described; however, I only received 42 versus the "over 50" advertised. I realize that it was also by weight but without a scale that can weigh "40 grams" I can't tell if even that was accurate. If they are going to solely go off of weight, they need to remove the quantity from the description. The buttons arrived in 14 days from when order was placed.
I'll keep them because it's not worth trying to return but wished I had received closer to the "over 50pcs" that was advertised. | 3 |
I have a problem...I love houses and this one is charming. The dies cut beautifully and are all separate so you can create each piece out of separate colors if you want to make a totally whimsical house. My one stumbling block with these dies is that they come attached to each other, so if you are going to purchase any Elizabeth Craft Designs Dies, make sure you get her die snips and possibly her file to blunt the metal nubs. Other than that, they have some really unique dies, especially the ones from Karen Burniston which are really interactive. | 5 |
When I originally ordered the stamp set, I didn't order the die set. Then I decided they were a real pain, and time consuming to fussy cut by hand! So I went ahead and ordered this set of dies and I Love them! it makes cutting out these accessories so much easier! | 5 |
I have head dreadful trouble winding my own bobbins for my Brother PE-700. I bought these after reading lots of reviews. I ordered at about 4pm yesterday and they arrived this morning! Great service! I have only stitched out one design using them, but they appeared will packaged and tightly stored in the box, all looked uniformly full and neat, and I have had no issues with my first design at all. Great start! I highly recommend - winding your own bobbins just isn't cost effective with the time and screw ups. | 5 |
I like the product over all, but some of the pockets tore when I tried to put the correctly-sized folders in them. Others were roomier. I don't think this is going to wear well over time, and it wasn't cheap enough to not get several years out of. | 3 |
Purchased this to use as a travel watercolor tin. No mention of pigment colors or lightfast ratings so I would not view these as artist grade. Even for student grade these are chalky. But the tin is well made and the plastic pans can easily be refilled with artist paint. | 4 |
it is just as I thought it would be | 5 |
My granddaughter loved this. It's perfect for keeping yarn and supplies in | 5 |
A definite must have in your arsenal of pocket/travel art supplies, as well as in general.
A good quality set for the beginning (as well as more advanced) water colorist that won't break the bank.
I have had my set for over a year and I still absolutely enjoy it for quick sketches. It comes with a water brush, a adjustable palette and two little sponges one the sides to dab off excess paint and can be replaced. Really great price for the quality you get, pigmented for pan paints. They are fairly translucent, but can be painted semi-opaquely with less water and working the paint in the pans. These are great for quick plein air paintings while traveling, hiking or chilling on a bus or train, you only need a bottle water to refill the pen and a cloth to clean the brush tip.
Although it has gotten less use after I got a different watercolor pan set, I still come back to this set for journal sketches and quick plein air studies. | 5 |
didn't realize it was so thin, and it breaks easily | 2 |
These are great blades in a handy 10 pack. Now I have no excuse not to change blades more often. | 5 |
Great for making earing's | 4 |
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Will buy again. Sam | 5 |
A little stiff and kind of difficult to stir, my hands were aching and would recommend using a metal spoon with a long handle.
Too bad it can't be reused because it is expensive and you don't get very much. Since I am creating small pieces, will use much smaller containers to create molds to save product. Also measuring cups should be disposable. However, the product works great with good instructions and creates excellent details! | 4 |
Great purchas | 5 |
I tried them when I got them and the colors are terrific. Easy to blend colors. | 5 |
I love these pins. They are longer than some and nice and sharp. I use them for piecing. | 5 |
Not enough yarn! | 3 |
The mini MISTI lives up to the name Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented. The mini is perfect for doing small projects with perfect placement of stamped images everytime. Re-stamp the image if you need to without worry the design will be off.
I use the MISTI for placement of die-cuts. The extra strong magnets hold the card base in place when adding die-cuts to the card.
If you make cards the MISTI will be a valuable tool.
There are many "diy' stamping placement ideas, however buy the real MISTI. Save for it. (I did, worth it) The precision of the MISTI cannot be beat. There is no concern if the lid or bottom shifted like there is with "DIY" variety.
Saving for the larger one. | 5 |
If you are anything like me, you probably look at items like this and ask questions like, "What do these bring to the table that make them necessary for travel," "Why should I replace older items I already have," and "What justifies the cost?" I always consider specific factors like usefulness versus gimmickry, how well-made an item is, its cost-effectiveness, and more, and feel these are worth procuring because of the aforementioned questions as well as additional considerations.
When it comes quality comparisons of these versus cheaper bottles, the Wayros are really nice. They are constructed from 100 percent BPA-free silicone listed as food-grade (I did not pick these up to eat out of, so this claim is not being reviewed), and are: easily opened so you can fill them without spillage, seal simply and well, are thick so they are less likely to be damaged in transit, and stay sealed so you do not have to worry about leaks. Their size allows you to transfer portions from an original product container and store exactly what you need, thereby cutting down on what you have to carry. They are also TSA-approved so you will not have encounter and scanning hassles caused by them. Considering the cost of carry-on luggage and the need to be more compact while also addressing safety concerns, this is extremely important. Equally, their space-saving size cuts down on what you have to lug around and on waste, removing the need to procure and dispose of larger containers after buying them when you arrive and wondering whether or not to shove them into your luggage. Unlike original containers, the thickness of the Wayro travel bottles also helps during transport, plus the silicone design allows weight to be added without oceans of product leaking out. These additionally feel good to the touch, which is not some huge factor but is nice nonetheless.
With regard to the bottles, they are designed with conservation in mind, and do not dribble or leak. They have an internal guard to keep things from leaking out - you can see it when you squeeze the bottles, so you actually get the amount of product you are aiming for and not it plus some undesired helping. I personally like that because I have a showering habit of accidentally depressing bottles a bit too much and losing all my travel shampoo, which is an annoyance you run across often with cheaper bottles. I also like the suction cup design of the bottle, allowing me to clip them to most bathroom surfaces for easy access and pouring, which helps eliminate fumbling with tiny bottles while on-the-go. The colors are also attractive and each is easily-distinguished, so you can easily color coordinate, unpack, and go. No more trying to label only to have a piece of tape fall off or the marker you use get on other items.
I have since replaced a few of my older carry items in favor of these because they work. They are not the cheapest on the market but it really is true about getting what you pay for. Accordingly, I opted for 3 travel packs of these.
Please note that the first 3 bottles were supplied as samples and that I liked them enough to get two more orders. This is because it is a quality product that I like and feel will continue to work for a long, long time. | 5 |
These beads were exactly what I needed for a project I was doing that required stringing 5 foot lengths of beads for a window covering. I found very few beads that were broken or had a defect that made them unable to be strung. The colors were bright and the packaging was free of 'bead dust'. Good quality for a very good price. | 5 |
Very pleased. Inexpensive and yet not junky. The silver painted brass finding, that the crystal sits in, looks real and the crystal is securely held in place. They are tiny but that's what I was looking for. If the word tiny causes you concern I encourage you to see exactly what 3mm is. | 5 |
Gave as gift to an 7 and 8 year old who were going on a long car trip to use for snacks, car games, art supplies, etc. (I included some of these items as part of their gift). It was great for keeping things together and not rolling around in the car. The removable dividers helped in organizing things. | 5 |
These work really well. Just wish there was a magnetic sheet to hold them in place in the packaging. | 5 |
I spent 4 hours one day hand polishing my silver and turquoise jewelry. I thought, man... There must be a better way... I started researching and found these anti-tarnish strips. Read the reviews, hoped they were honest, and pulled the trigger. I also order mini- zip seal bags while I was at it. I bagged everything up with a tarnish strip in each bag. So far it's a success. I just re-ordered a second supply and plan on bagging up my other silver jewelry. Btw, I've only used these with sealed bags. | 5 |
These paints are great but I would prefer that the opacity was brighter you have to do a few coats to get the true color. | 3 |
I have made 9 hats on this loom....it is sturdy, easy to use and wonderful hats come off of it. LOVE it. I tried Boyd ......the Provo Craft Knifty Knitter Loom is much better....more comfortable to use....I make hats for a local church to donate to the poor......I have made a total of 95 hats on Knifty Knitter looms of all sizes. | 5 |
So easy to add a professional looking greeting on homemade cards. | 5 |
I'm using these threads with a brother pe500 with no issues that seem to plague people using the 770. It is a great value and the colors are very nice. | 5 |
Exactly what I needed and in only 2 days! Awesome as usual! | 5 |
This is the cutest case! Mine has colorful daisies and pink on the inside. The hooks are good quality with the ergonomic handles and there is an extra metal hook enclosed. Seller followed up to make sure everything was received in good condition. I'm very pleased with this purchase! | 5 |
Thank you love the beads. | 5 |
great quality love them | 5 |
It's great! The tie strings are long enough to wrap around the roll twice. There's a flap to tuck the pencil tips in so they're protected. Totally happy with this purchase. | 5 |
Great for what I embroidery! | 5 |
they broke | 1 |
these stamps are really nice . they stamp nicely and fit nicely on hand made card designs. | 5 |
Perfect for what I need fit my smaller glue stick holder so works for me.... | 5 |
I had just bought a box of forty spools of embroidery thread and needed a pace to display the wares. The 60 Spool Wood Rack came in handy. It can sit on a table or can be made to hang on the wall. It keeps me from having to dig through a plastic box to find what I'm looking for. | 5 |
These crystals are perfect! They arrived sooner than expected. I'm really enjoying working with this product and will be ordering more in the near future. | 5 |
Great to keep handy. No need to look for scissors anymore. | 5 |
makes my the clothes I sew for babies pop! | 5 |
I love to sew and was so tired of having to change the thread all the time on one bobbin, now I have several, and it is so much faster and easier on me. Thanks | 5 |
Good quality, and arrived very quickly. I'm new to using these as I usually do silk thread beading with bullion (French wire) at the ends. I'm doing several necklaces now with wire instead of silk, and these guards work beautifully. They are definitely easier than the bullion and more suitable for wire. I've ordered more in additional sizes. I just wish they came in larger packs. I needed 12 for a six-strand necklace, and had to buy two packs. | 5 |
So far my favorite blending pen. I've tried another that just didn't do the job. You do need to use a bit of pressure to really blend well and not just coat the top. Just be careful not to saturate and tear your paper. I've never had this happen myself, but I suppose it could happen. | 5 |
Handles were way too short to work with. | 1 |
Helped me make a lot of caps for winter and they went really fast on the big loom. | 5 |
Fabulous. As i get older its more difficult to see darker yarns. These help. Also easier on eye stress all around. | 5 |
Way to expensive. And I am not sure if it is wool. Kind of looks like the ones you get in the craft stores that are felt. | 3 |
As an artist I have tried most of the markers out there. Because these are Winsor and Newton I thought I'd give it a shot. I was not impressed on any level.
1. Expensive
2. You need special paper. These did not work at all with the Neenah copic paper I normally use. Yupo is OK, but I really dislike that stuff.
3. Unable to blend unless you have the special paper.
4. Oddly shaped case that is supposed to interlock these sets together. I guess you are supposed to lay them down and stack them, because they don't have flat ends to stand on.
5. Kind of dry and they tear up the paper
I really don't think the average artist has much use for these. Being light fast for 100 years is about the only thing these offer and frankly that's not a big deal for most of us. I won't be giving up my alcohol markers for these at any rate. | 3 |
This is rather course, scratchy and pulls apart too easy for thrums. | 2 |
Great fabric for quilt backing | 5 |
happy with price and quality | 5 |
Great quality exactly what I wanted, I used these to make glitter ornaments and they worked wonderfully no flaws or chips in any of them | 5 |
This is not a 100% cotton paper. I works ok for learning. | 3 |
I am a compulsive knitter, and consider these bamboo needles to be the most comfortable knitting needles, to use, in the world! As well, such a wonderful deal, when I, too often, use more than one set of the same size on multiple projects. The were a bargain, one low price for a whole giant set. Thanks so! | 5 |
nice bag well constructed. | 5 |
I want be using it. I thought it would be softer were I could do my embroidering. | 2 |
These were beautiful and what I wanted, however, I didn't realize how small they are. I would have liked to have gotten them just a little bigger. I used them to make glass charms for the wedding party. | 3 |
You certainly get what you pay for. They were $3 so I thought I'd try them. Always looking for a good pair of small scissors for embroidery work. These are not quite what I was looking for. Not as sharp as needed. | 3 |
I got it way before expected delivery date,and the beads are beautiful, love it,I will reorder this again! | 5 |
I use this bead strands regularly and I have no complains. Great shine | 5 |
GOOD FOR KEEPING COUNT ON MANY ROWS. WHEN KNITTING OR CROCHETING. CAN INSERT ON THE KNITTING NEEDLE OR CROCHET HOOK(IF LONG ENOUGH). | 5 |
this is nice yarn and it gives some different greens cheaply | 5 |
I love this little tool! I've known about them for years and the time has come for me to have one. It is easy to use, though the needles it accepts are a bit smaller than I expected. This is ONLY for long eyed needles, not for round eyed ones. I had hoped it would thread my tatting needles, but they are to large and the eye is round. I am so happy with this I don't care! I even showed how this worked to my engineer husband, who I never show things too since they don't interest him but he took this and had a great time looking it over and how it worked. The needle automatically is put in the correct position as you drop it in, eye first, you push the button until it snaps and Voila! a loop of thread sticks out the side. It was no problem grabbing it and pulling the thread end through. I pulled out the needle and it was good to go. A wonderful addition to anyone's sewing box! | 5 |
Sews up great for diaper soakers | 5 |
I used for paper crafts and I really like this glue because it is clear and it comes out of a very small tip so it is easier to control. It didn't show through on any of the things that I was gluing either. | 5 |
This is an excellent loupe for finding stamp or marking on a jewelry. I really like the LED light because it helps to brighten up the area and help identify better.
Pros
- LED light
- 30x AND 60x in one
- Light weigh and easy to carry
- Comes with protective pouch.
- has a small hole to wear it over neck like a necklace when you go jewelry hunting!
cons:
- The lenses are small
- LED light is extremely bright can may hurt the eye if one accidently look into it.
I was given a discounted price for the loupe for testing and reviewing purposes. My review is 100% honest and from my own experience. | 4 |
As a newbie to jewelry making, I am enjoying this kit. The only improvement I would make it to print the included user sheet in a larger font (I realize this would mean bigger paper, folded in half) and to include a tool guide. Silly, but not being familiar with the tools, I had to return here to see what the heck I actually bought. Plus, this kit does not include tools for use with memory wire. I learned this the hard way when I tried to make a loop with the enclosed pliers and poked myself hard enough to bleed. I'm OK, don't worry. I do like how the included tools fit nicely into my hands. The case is sturdy, as are the inside straps. All in all, a great purchase! | 5 |
Wow. Nice quality for a fair price. I love the look and feel of the steel and copper scissors. No plastic bits here!
The Westcott 8-Inch Bent Scissors with vintage copper finish really appeal to an old-schooler like me (45yrs). Tangible quality of the decent yet transient Fiskars, Scotch, and similar scissors that predominate these days. They feel like they will last, and cut well through paper, plant stems, thick plastic, cardboard and even fabric. Hefty all-purpose scissor with a vintage finish. They will probably end up in my wife's home office, but I'm enjoying them in the kitchen for the time being.

These are beautiful - prettier then they look in the picture. Showed up a lot faster then I thought also! Happy I bought them | 5 |
Very beautiful beads. Love them! | 5 |
very surprised but pleased. | 4 |
As always mod podge is a fantastic product. I use it for lots of different art projects and have never been disappointed. | 5 |
Is super professional, the stamp is in good shape, takes the ink perfectly and i recommended for paper bags and invitations. | 5 |
Perfect ruler for longarm quilting. Clear markings and nice size. | 5 |
These dies are the best quality! | 5 |
Good value for money. If you are after these warmer colours which i use alot, its great! | 5 |
They came in two air tight bags and I've only used a very tiny amount out of one of them to make several homemade salves and balms. The beads are easy to work with and measure. When heated with oils to make a salve, it turn into a silky smooth texture. Love this product. It also can be used for candles and cosmetics. | 5 |
Loved them very best | 5 |
perfect for stick people | 5 |
Great little dies | 5 |
Perfect leafing pen. You really can't go wrong with Krylon products. I use their leafing pens for touch-ups, as well as decor in general. I purchased a dark wood mirror that was supposed to have subtle copper hightlights - only they were way too subtle. I rubbed on a little of this leafing by applying it to a dry terry cloth, then onto the wood, and it worked like a charm. | 5 |
it work but I don't like the smell | 4 |
This was exactly the yarn I needed to match yarn I purchased a couple years ago. It's a perfect match. I love Caron Simply Soft yarn! | 5 |
These were exactly what I was hoping for. I hate (!) sleeping in studs that press into the back of my head behind my ears, but also don't always remember to take them out before I go to bed. These stud backs offer the perfect compromise- they are tight fitting so I don't have to worry about my earrings falling out, but they're also rounded on the back which makes it easier to sleep and causes much less discomfort! | 5 |
Lots of tiny pieces that are NOT effectively contained within that plastic envelope. Sizzix needs to start providing high-quality magnetic sheets for their thinlit dies (like Darice does). Many times when opening the original packaging I've found that die parts have fallen out of the envelope. I've actually lost pieces when opening that dropped to the floor never to be found. | 3 |
