This is just the best double faced tape! I use it all the time when making cards and envelopes. It is very strong and never pulls away. It comes in other widths too. You cannot lose with this tape. | 5 |
it helps my mom thread needles. She has cataracts | 4 |
I don't know how many words I should spend on a three dollar loupe (there are three of them in the set). These are best for non-critical applications. The quality of optics is not particularly high as there is a noticeable difference between these loupes and an equal power ADE loupe for instance. I thought I was seeing things at first, but after testing, all these different loupes (including the 30x) seem to be the same power. Really! These loupes are fine for non-critical work or just to have a look, take then in the field where you might lose them or give them to a kid on non-sunny days. Losing these could be the best thing to happen to them.
Ok, so what are some better choices?

Returned these. They were rock-hard. | 1 |
Nice for tying in loose ends and sewing any yarn projects together. | 5 |
Love this thread. I do a lot of beading, mostly peyote stitch. I now use this thread exclusively. It does not separate like Nymo, does not need waxing. The only drawback is that I do not have a pair of scissors sharp enough to cut it but I got a thread zapper which works like a charm. It is very strong and have never had it break on me in the middle of a project. With other threads, I had problems with areas of use, such has the loop for an earring hook, breaking. This stuff will never break or wear. | 5 |
These pens are amazingly smooth and the glitter is very noticeable, but in the best way possible. I have been using them in my adult coloring book and they are just fun to work with. The ink flows so smoothly and they honestly color better than pens more than twice the price. I don't think there is that much ink in them but for $8.99 for 12 pens I can't complain. I just put in another order for 2 more packs so I won't be without these gems. They are also great for writing, drawing and tracing. What a nice find!! | 5 |
I usually prefer bamboo needles,but tried these, they work good, main problem is they are not sized on needles or in their packaging (holders). | 4 |
later | 4 |
As a mixed media paper crafter I use this tool a lot. Don't even consider buying any of the other brands. This one is the best. | 5 |
It is wonderful!! I us it for chart lace knitting. The magnets are strong and never move. I got the large size because I have some big charts. Highly recommend!!! It was recommended to me by other friends. Happy to pass the word along. | 5 |
Great for baby knits, baby sweaters and hats, so soft and easy to wash. I dry flat but you can dry in the dryer on low. I also made shorts and a sweater for a teddy bear out of this. Just love it. | 5 |
Nice little noggins though the black paint in the eye holes is spottily applied. I may add some glo paint in those holes.
Believe the description, 4mm hole good for one strand of 550 paracord only. | 3 |
Perfect for the quilt I am making. | 5 |
These are smaller than the bullet style backs, so if you really want to make sure that your earring backs do not show, this is the way to go. I have also noticed that these tend to fit my earrings that have thicker posts a little easier. They are great to replace lost earnuts, or earnuts that are not great quality (i.e., ones that give you rashes). If you have thin french hooks, they may slide down, as the holes do seem to be larger than the bullet style rubber clutches. | 5 |
Need to have Great for Cleaning bobbin area. | 4 |
Like how easy it is to clean paint and glue off of it. | 5 |
My kids spend hours making projects out of fuse beads. Last time I ordered the big bucket because it was cheaper and that was a HUGE mistake. My time spent finding a specific color bead for my kids has been spared and I am eternally grateful. Spend the extra few dollars on the pre-sorted beads - it will save you tons and tons of time! | 5 |
I was hoping to use this paper to make stickers, but it doesn't take printer ink. The one holographic paper I have found that DOES take ink doesn't have an adhesive back, so I have to use it in conjunction with a sticker paper. This self adhesive paper definitely found its way to the bottom of my stack, and I still haven't really figured out what I want to use it for. I guess it would be cool to use to make decorations for a poster or garage sale sign, but only if you were cutting out shapes and not printing/drawing directly on the surface. | 3 |
This item will help me in my sewing | 5 |
Love the Tim Holtz rubber stamps and dies! | 5 |
Color is crystal clear. A good size for small projects. | 5 |
Used this on a purse. It made one HUGE decal. Great product. | 5 |
I received notice that this gizmo had been delivered on my phone just as my Granddaughter called and said the package had been handed to her at her home! Pretty neat! It was her Happy Birthday Gift! Best way to get birthday gifts halfway across the country! Thank you. | 5 |
Good paint as described | 5 |
Product works fine but not sure what I was thinking I thought they would be like the lux hooks. Good beginners set | 3 |
These snowflake dies are pretty, easy to use, and cut cleanly. They look especially nice when cut with glitter paper. The card stock comes out of the die easily but slides back in place to run through a second time if needed. Due to the flakes intricacy, I do have to maneuver some of them out of the card stock, but it isn't difficult. The flakes are a little smaller than those of other sets I own, so I can fit more on a card. I left the dies connected together for nowits easier to keep track of them that way and less fussy to set up for a cutbut there could be situations where Id want them separate. I wasn't familiar with Echo Park dies but wouldnt hesitate to purchase again. | 5 |
Very good adhesive for my pink tape gun. I was afraid that it might not fit after reading some reviews but it fits perfectly and the price is great! | 5 |
They are too small. I tried them with different media, texture paste and acrylic paint and they were hard to get a good image from. I would not buy again. | 2 |
Well, I'm still learning how to use this cutter. I haven't managed to make a nice clean cut the first time yet. I'm not sure if it's because of the product, or because of the user. | 3 |
This is a great mat. It came as advertised, and in quick time, but it is a little hard to use, because you have to print out a sheet with dots to use when calibrating your camera. I had trouble because I use a laser printer and the dots where shiny. Then I had trouble getting a good photo because of the lighting in my studio. Once I got a good photo, it worked great. I love that I can now use all of my tiny pieces of scrap paper and vinyl for small projects. I hate to waste vinyl! I photographed something as tiny as a quarter and engraved the metal. It was a dog tag. That was so cool. I would definitely recommend this. Just be patient learning to use it, and get your best camera out for this! Use a inkjet printer to print the calibration sheet! | 4 |
Love this. Works great, unique. | 5 |
Great for writing on dark paper or canvas. | 4 |
Did the job I needed it to do. No complaints. | 5 |
Worked well as a base for felted projects. I will definitely buy this again for felting. | 5 |
These are the rignt size to make things with. | 4 |
This are small markers and unlike most markers, they're a triangle instead of a circle. Being a triangle makes them so they don't slip under other stitches as easily when I'm doing a lace pattern (making me think I have the incorrect number of stitches). Being a triangle, they also slip onto the needle easier. I only wish there were makers in the package for the price. | 4 |
this strapping was exactly what i was wanting to use for sewing reusable shopping bags. Thanks to all who worked to send this to me. | 5 |
I wanted a cheap set of paint brushes and that's what I received. The two pieces separate (the metal tip with the brush and the handle), I just improvised. No big deal to me but don't buy these expecting anything more. | 4 |
Makes it so much easier to use this to paint on. Hold the fabric perfectly in place. Even in large areas fabric will not slip. | 5 |
My nice absolutely loves this art set! She's getting so much use out of it every day for a long while now. And it only cost me under $10 shipped! She's very artistic and loves to draw and paint things. | 5 |
I love these framelits. They are perfect for my crafting and cardmaking needs. The 6-pack set makes it perfect to have a layered look. | 5 |
It is Styrofoam and it is a cone, but it was over priced. I am handicap and needed it so I got it. It was perfect for my need. | 5 |
Good product @ a fair price. | 5 |
Haven't used this yet, but great design | 4 |
love colors and texture very handy to have when sewing a lot of different colors | 5 |
OK. This really works. I got it for $44.96. I couldn't find anything less expensive. I've tried cheaper alternatives and they do not work. You're just throwing your money away. I only used it to make a mat for one picture. I would get this if you cut a lot of mats. Otherwise it seems a waste to only use it once. Certainly do practice cuts until you get comfortable with it. | 5 |
Very good price on these worked well | 4 |
These are amazing thank you | 5 |
Can't say I am a huge fan. Obviously better than a cheap kids colored pencil, but honestly, some of the other new brands out there performed more smoothly on the paper than these did IMHO. To be perfectly honest there is something about the way they feel when they drag across the paper that just isn't pleasant. Quite possibly just a personal thing for me. Check the comparison picture to make your own judgement call. It was done on toothy watercolor paper. | 4 |
This is stuff works like a charm! So easy to use and makes for a sturdy seal when you don't have access to a sewing machine. I intended to use it just in the interim until I could get my machine shipped to me but I found that I don't even need to sew it! It is a little tough to keep in place because it is so lightweight but if you just in it down until you begin ironing it will stay put. | 5 |
I had a problem with bamboo size 1's snapping and fracturing, so I ordered these by a reccomendation from a friend. These needles are absolutely LOVELY! They glide even more smoothly than bamboo needles, and the birch wood is so strongly reinforced. I almost don't want to use any other kind of needles now. | 5 |
Looking forward to give it a go. | 5 |
they work. | 3 |
Haven't used it yet but it's exactly what I wanted. | 4 |
Works perfectly, and I can see this product lasting me my sewing career. My mom has one of these and she's had it for at least 20 years. | 5 |
These aren't the best soldering picks; for the price they are good to go though. I prefer the one with the heat shield on them; they are 3 times as expensive. They are great to have as extras or when you don't need the heat shield. I have 6 of these. They keep rolling around on my fire station. This way I can always find one no matter what. | 3 |
Nice but smaller then expected, very thin twine | 4 |
I love the novelty of this tape but was also impressed with it's sticking ability. Really cool item to use and make everyday thinks more interesting. | 5 |
Just got it :) very well protected in the box and nice instructional video! | 5 |
Great for little hands to use for pottery and clay projects. | 5 |
OMG - these actually work!! I'd never seen anything like them and figured they'd not cut very well, but wanted to try them. They are awesome! I make small dolls and having an alternate edging to the pinking shears is awesome! | 5 |
i bought this punch with great expectations and lots of wonderful projects in mind.. This punch turned out to be the worst investment ever and i wish to get a refund. It only punches on very thing paper.. nothing else and i don't need this punch for thin paper.. I hate it, i hate it i hate it.. I want my money back | 1 |
The colors were perfect and matched the pattern that I bought, Rock Candy Table Topper. | 5 |
Very lovely colors, in four different widths, which allows me to make more 3 dimensional flowers and art!! This was the best deal on quilling paper I have found yet! | 5 |
It's thread. | 5 |
Unless I received a water-downed product, this black paint that I received was very, very thin and went on more as a glaze than as an actual paint. And yes, it was mixed properly, it was just very watery. I was hoping for thick, flat paint. This was not the case at all. It barely covered the surface and was like a transparent black glaze. | 1 |
I wish my journal paper was able to hold sort of paper. This is great for working my skill building with my Copic markers. They are a small set and i find i wish i had bought a bigger set. Its a starter set that works well | 5 |
This brush handles beautifully and is incredibly versatile. I've done entire paintings with just this brush. Even better is the reasonable price. | 5 |
Just want I wanted and was deliver on time | 5 |
This is a good quality interfacing for light body applications. Works well, easy to use. One package goes a long way. Highly recommend if you need just a bit of support to a light weight fabric. | 5 |
If you are a crafter or a DIY weekend warrior, a cordless hot glue gun is a tool you will wonder how you managed to do without. This gun from Black & Decker is so well made and well balanced that it's a pleasure to work with.
The gun is powered by the included, detachable, 20V 1.5AH lithium battery. The charger is also included. The battery has about a 3 hour run time and takes 3-4 hours to recharge. BTW, this battery is the type you can safely leave plugged into the charger when not in use and it will not harm the battery.
The gun has a textured, rubberized grip that's comfortable and secure in your hand. The metal tip is fixed and has a heat shield collar around it to prevent accidental burns. The trigger is large and comfortable. On the base of the gun is a power switch that you slide up to turn the unit on and off and there is a red LED working indicator light to tell you at a glance that the unit is powered on.
I have a large, corded hot glue gun and this is soooo much better. The glue heats up to working temp within 90 seconds and being cordless, you can easily work anywhere.
It comes with 2, 8" long, 0.44" diameter glue sticks that are translucent but become transparent when applied. I really like that the glue is transparent because sometimes I can be a little messy.
I used this gun to glue some quarter round, baseboard trim in place with excellent results. I did use some finishing nails to secure the molding after the glue set and it was so much easier not having to try and hold the molding steady while trying to nail. I also used it to glue some decorative wood trim on a picture frame that had lifted. Again, excellent results.
My only issue is that the user's guide says to only use full size, Black & Decker brand hot glue sticks, which I can't find anywhere. I can find other brands of dual temp glue sticks but not Black and Decker in the 8" like is included. Is 8" what is considered full size? Since this gun is a new product, I suspect that the glue sticks will be available soon and in the mean time, there are other brands of dual temp hot glue sticks. But I wish the recommended sticks were available now.
Also, it says on the box to download the Black & Decker Cordless Glue Gun Applications Guidebook but I can't find that anywhere, either. There is no link to it and it doesn't seem to be on the Black & Decker website, either. I will keep looking for it because there will likely be uses mentioned that I haven't considered.
If you use a hot glue gun regularly, you will definitely like this gun. Cordless makes all the difference. | 4 |
Love the colors, Aren't as smooth and mixable as regular watercolors but the pearlescent colors are so pretty. Wish the pans were deeper. The paint doesn't stretch as far as regular watercolors so you deff run out faster so either buy multiples or use sparingly for like small details on your work. | 4 |
I really love this folder. I can use it on so many projects. Already have a list of items to make. Looking for more kids to use this folder with. | 5 |
works for decorative cording on a costume I'm working on. But I'd let it air out for a while since it was in a sealed package for who knows how long. | 4 |
Great set for on the go sketching. Anyone who complains about this set, as did one reviewer, has personal problems. This is a terrific set with a nice hard zipper case for safety in taking on the go. There was even enough room for my set of 24 colored pencils for my fashion design course. Has a nice sharp pencil sharpener and a great eraser. I'm very happy with this terrific set and I absolutely do recommend them to anyone who does drawing or sketch work. I love my kit. You will also. Buy with confidence. I highly recommend them to you. Seriously | 5 |
Excellent for mixed media and die cutting, | 5 |
need to get applicator for spraying it on to make snow any sugestions | 5 |
The first one I got was great. Strong, but pliable, and pretty. So great, I ordered another.
I was not far into my project when I realized that the second one I ordered was not the same as the first. I don't know if maybe they got a bad batch or what, but the second one did not really appear to be silver plated at all. It was more of a shiny stainless steel, which doesn't work for what I am doing. The label and everything else was identical.
I have contacted Amazon to see about resolving it, and in the meantime, I took a chance and ordered a third one. It arrived quickly, today, and it is the same correct bright silver plated one that I originally bought. All three have come from the same seller - LK-CRAFTS.
I noticed some of the reviews here had mentioned "not silver plated", so I suspect they also received the bad batch.
In any case, as long as you get the right one, it is very nice. | 4 |
This is to the point no pun intended! It retracts and for that alone I love it. When storing, no need to find a point cover that won't stay on or get lost on your work surface, it is all inclusive. The point retracts for safe keeping and no chance of bending, damage etc. It is also nice because you can adjust the length to your liking for various project that require different depths. Enjoy! | 5 |
I love this gesso. It's not too thick and not too thin. It's not the cheapest, but I like the consistency. | 5 |
very flexible | 2 |
They work great and a nice amount of them in the package | 5 |
To be honest I have not had the time to use this product yet, but can hardly wait as I have seen some really wonderful pieces done with it of late and want to try the technique myself. | 5 |
Thin, bright, light weight, and easy to store in the shipping box. I use this item for Foundation Paper Piecing which is a form of quilting and tracing on interfacing for applique. Works well so far. | 5 |
needs better directions but works well once you figure it out | 4 |
Another quality MS punch with both a unique feature & design. This 2-in-1 punch allows the user to make a ribbon-like trim, or a decorative punched edge with the flip of a switch. The end result is much more charming than the photos represent. | 5 |
This platform was perfect for my big shot machine. I use it everyday when making cards. I would highly recommend the platform and I would purchase ftom this sight again. | 5 |
Unless you want to square up blocks on exactly the 1/2" - you are out of luck. Check out the TrueCut rulers / cutters. Or resort to OmniGrid. | 1 |
Too much grib for cardstock | 3 |
I've shared soaps made with this mold with a number of family and friends and they all love the simple, elegant design. The silicone is just firm enough to hold the shape but pliable enough that it is VERY easy to release the soap. | 5 |
I have to warn you about these. They are perfect in every way- BUT when you need BRASS color neck chains and jump rings- good luck finding them. I ended up putting them on black cord because I gave up. So keep that in mind. It was a hassel. But worked out in the end. | 2 |
Just what I needed and exactly as described. I've been using another brand which just didn't have the sticking power that I needed. This sticks well and is reusable. | 5 |
Great price! Nice packaging. Blades come in a little case so they stay sharp and no chance of cutting yourself. | 5 |
These are not as detailed as in the picture. They are very thin and almost flat. I haven't tried them in my designs yet to see if they will even show. | 2 |
I haven't used this particular hoop yet but I know it will work and I am looking forward to doing some small patterns on my machine. | 5 |
What a nice set of brushes! I was offered a sample to test, and I have to say I'm impressed. I work mostly in watercolors, creating small "focals" for hand-crafted greeting cards, and these have been a nice addition to my arsenal of brushes.
You get a good assortment of sizes. I've used the larger ones to create a "wash" of colors blended to form a background, and the smaller ones for my detail work. No problems with cleaning, either. Frankly, these perform nearly as good as some much more expensive natural hair brushes I already owned (I received a small set of Silver Brush Watercolor brushes as a gift a few years ago -- red sable).
The case is a nice touch, too -- well made, sturdy, and with a "stand-up" feature that makes retrieving the right brush easy.
Very happy with these. I may purchase a set for a nephew that is a much more accomplished artist than I am. | 5 |
I have purchased 10 MS punches. The shapes like butterflies, hearts, and squares work nicely, however the decorative edge punches are a problem. I've tried every which way to get a continuous pattern. Lining up the paper is tricky and three out of four times there are gaps in the pattern. The punches often stick, too which destroys the design. I've ruined a lot of paper trying to get it right. Punching foil and waxed paper to sharpen the cutting surfaces doesn't seem to help much. They need to be improved! | 2 |
I'm printing photos that will be decoupaged onto a bottle that is lit from within. I printed 16 photos per page on five different printers with the following results:
- HP Laserjet 4600 - dark colors that turned comic-like after a week.
- HP Laserjet 9500 Transparency - printed well but too light for project.
- Xerox Phaser 8560 - dark colors that looked good but had started flaking after a week.
- Inkjet (I'll get model) - wouldn't take the paper. I might try again and trick it by lightly gluing the velum to regular paper.
- Canon Pro-100 - printed on Plain Paper setting (no transparency or vellum options) with fast print - clear, durable printing but very light.
- Canon Pro-100 - printed on Plain Paper setting with standard print - ink globbed irregularly, worst print of the lot.
None of them are what I wanted. Hopefully a spraying with Krylon Fixative Spray will allow me to use the darker version from the 8560. | 4 |
Love the colors, i use for birthday cards each sheet seems to have a different design....and mix of colors. | 4 |
