Great deal. Easy to work with. Use ir for lengthening short robes. Adds a feminine touch. | 5 |
While these are great earrings, the backs DO NOT stay on. I bought these for work to use with new ear piercings since they do not allow jewelry. I felt my ear after a few hours and my earring was GONE. My holes almost closed up because of it. Not happy! | 3 |
the .8mm just doesn't hold the tension that the .7mm does. okay price for such a big quantity. good strength, with just a enough give. I string tiny 3d printed ball jointed dolls where it needs the cord to string the doll pieces to have enough strength to stand and pose, and this works fine. | 5 |
great hole punch. We replaced our dinosaur hole punch with this one. I was a bit skeptical at first because it was lighter than our last one, but it has held up and performed well. | 5 |
I tend to be a 'functional' gift giver. Artbin is always a pricey brand, but I like the quality of the product. | 5 |
I wish the die was straight up and down based on the size and how the material goes into the machine. I feel it wastes a lot of material by cutting at an angle for each square. | 3 |
Great to have so many on hand. | 5 |
I really like these pens....they arrived very quickly! But I can't get the brown pen to work at all, no matter what I try. Big bummer!! | 4 |
I use this pen to place designs for machine embroidery. It is very useful and works as described. I like that it has two different inks (the purple disappears when exposed to air or water and the blue when exposed to water) that I can use based on the material I am embroidering. Will purchase again! | 5 |
Mod podge 12 large teacups and still had half a container left. Great deal and shipped quick. | 5 |
These markers are the reason why I will never buy disposable drawing/drafting pens ever again. Even the sizes I use most often seem to go and go - never skipping or failing to fully cover. I'm pretty sure I'm tough on these puppies too - untrained overuser for sure. I would recommend them - and I would recommend Amazon post the refill nibs with them so they're easy to find. | 5 |
I would have liked more brilliant color patterns in this charm pack. This is just a personal preference. | 4 |
I ADORE these brushes, the sizes are PERFECT for my children, also I love how we can color code the brush to the color to avoid mixing colors. These have been washed several times....over 10x easily and are still holding up great. We will order more when needed | 5 |
Quality commensurate with price tag maybe even better actually this is pretty good stuff I use it for practice | 3 |
three seconds after sitting down to crochet with this hook, I just knew that I had to buy the whole set! I was in the middle of a project for my daughter and struggling along with a pointy-headed silvalume hook that seemed to constantly split the yarn (red heart super-saver economy) with every insertion of the hook, so i was pretty frustrated with things going so slow. enter clover armour ... it seems the head on this clover amour hook is more rounded, so it doesn't split the yarn. I can't believe how much easier and faster my crochet is going now. oh, and I love the comfort handles, too ... much easier on my sometimes stiff fingers. my whole crochet experience has just improved greatly! maybe some day i'll find a use for those pointy-headed hooks with other yarns ... maybe. I'm just still in awe that these amour hooks make for such a smooth crochet experience! mof, my new amour set is being delivered today ... can't wait for usps to get here! | 5 |
It was hard to figure out at first but after fully taking apart the packaging I found the directions on the inside of the back cardboard (duh!)! Now I whipping out pompoms like a no one's business! | 5 |
It's what I've used for beading many times and it's fine. | 5 |
This product is amazing! It makes the bags I make look very professional and they keep their shape beautifully. My machine has no trouble at all sewing through it. I wish I had found this product a long time ago! Will purchase again and again. | 5 |
Its okay for a small easel but the packaging it came in smelled so toxic, it took a few days of it sitting outside to air out enough to bring it in the house! | 2 |
Nice change from regular gel pens. These add a bit of shine, or glaze to coloring. They do not leave a wet look, but rather a subtle slightly opaque, but clear coat over the color. | 5 |
I got these to encourage me to keep it up once I got to embroider with the machine. I love it and they are beautiful. | 5 |
They do the job but are a little flimsy. I saw they were cheaper at Joanns but I did need them right away and didn't want to drive to the store for one thing. | 4 |
i purchased these to use for making my own set of runes and they are perfect! way prettier than pictured because they catch the light and change coloring; a photo could never do them justice. very pleased! | 5 |
Great, always wanted a complete set. Didn't like having to join two cords to make it long enough for my project but it has stayed together just fine. Totally worth the wait. | 5 |
If you need a red chalk marker don't buy this because it dries a weird pink shade. It doesn't look red at all once it dries. I used it oh chalkboard and chalkboard paper. | 1 |
When I received my set, the first thing I always do is make a color swatch of the colors. I was and still am very pleased with the vibrancy of the paints. I am using the Eunectes set for cardmaking. This watercolor set is not just for children. I have much more expensive watercolors that I use for other artwork, but I thought why not get a less expensive set for cards that you never know will be kept or thrown away after the occasion for which they are sent? I decided on these, and I have not been disappointed. | 5 |
totally bummed out that i can't use these in my bernina machine. i have to use the cardboard ones. my machine is very fickle apparently. make sure to check before buying to save yourself the return. | 2 |
These are easy to use and work great. | 5 |
Just what I didn't know I needed! This is a great tool and makes hemming a snap. Get one of these now! Highly recommend! | 5 |
As I waited for weeks for delivery I realized why they were so inexpensive. They are just plastic bobbins. They fit the machines. Really wondering how profit is made by the seller. They must be doing mind-blowing volume. | 4 |
Larger than I thought they would be. They work well, and are what I was looking for for my knitting bag. | 4 |
Fast ship good product | 5 |
I have always been a huge art junkie and loved to paint and draw in school and during my free time. Now that I have finished school and have a busy work schedule, I don't always get to dedicate the amount of time on my art as I'd like to. We have a 5 year old little girl that is in her first year of school and I have been wanting to think of new ways to create fun activities with her that can also double as a good learning and teaching experience for the both of us. I wanted to get these smaller 5x7 inch canvases so they would be a good size for her to work on and create a nice picture to paint that we could later hang on the wall and show off! It turned out to be such a great idea! She had a blast with it and it was a really great bonding experience for her and I as well. I liked these canvases because they were well made, study and ready for hanging when we were finished. I also liked that they came with 6 included in the pack so that we could enjoy doing something like this on more than one occasion. I have already ordered more of these canvases in other sizes as well and I'm really excited about getting back into my passion for art and sharing this passion with our little girl! * I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion * | 5 |
My husband bought me the Martelli Rotary cutter for Lefty's. I wanted to have replacement blades on hand so if mine got dull I wouldn't have to wait or put a project on hold. These blades are great. Read how they compare to ordinary blades and you won't want any other kind. Quality product. I love their rotary cutter design. must easier for me to use. | 5 |
Indispensable. | 5 |
I made a candy cake & these boxes were perfect--well-made & sturdy! | 5 |
This is one amazing die set. Truly love the size of it. | 4 |
These are fantastic. So much better than the dollar store ones! I always end up throwing so many of those away, so the price difference still seems worth it to buy from here from now on. | 5 |
fun gadget and does what it is suppose to do | 5 |
A beautiful scrapbook that is easy to use | 5 |
I wish these frames were bigger so u are able to have a nice sized saying. (Ie happy birthday happy anniversary) in side the frames! Otherwise LOVE these! | 3 |
These were really cool. The hands are lovely and graceful as well as the faces. | 5 |
Love Smashbooks! | 5 |
Wonderful needles. Nice sharp this and easy to work with. | 5 |
Cuts yarn well. Convenient to use when scissors aren't allowed (like on airplanes). | 5 |
I use these for special project bobbins | 5 |
The price and quality you get in these student grade paints can't be beat.
-They're okay when extended with medium. You have to use a lot of them in the medium to not lose the colour. I recommend using a professional medium with them if you can afford it. I definitely noticed a difference when I used Liquitex gel mediums vs Golden or Winsor & Newton.
-The pigment load is okay, but will not look "vibrant". Some of the colours are noticeably brighter than others when mixed with medium (Pthalo blue looks great for example, whereas primary yellow tends to look flat)
-They don't hold up to the test of time well, the lightfastness is not great but definitely better than other student grade paints.
I recommend these for:
-Art students/any school based painting project
-Hobbyist or new painter
-Experimentation with new techniques
I do not recommend these for:
-Paintings you intend to give as a gift (or keep)
-Paintings you intend to sell
-Anyone past "student" | 5 |
This product is just what I need to do my wood projects and others. The price was right as well. I would recommend this product. | 5 |
it was just what i needed for my Great Granddaughter's quilt. | 5 |
Thank you. Great price. | 5 |
thank you !! very nice | 4 |
This tool is amazing. I absolutely love it, and use it quite often! It makes punching so much easier, and I love that I can set eyelets with it as well! | 5 |
What a joke! WAY OVERPRICED! All beads were mixed together! LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR BEADS! | 1 |
I have not used it yet because I did get it after the holidays but I plans to use it on my CHRISTmas cards. | 5 |
About a year ago, I decided to try Watercolor. I've tried Oils and am fairly skilled with an airbrush, but both of those mediums can be pretty involved so I don't always have time to practice. I'm a very confident inker, but color is something I've always overlooked as it can be intimidating. I wanted to work on my color theory and mixing in a way that was very accessible. A friend told me that he does a tiny watercolor sketch everyday in a little Moleskine notebook. I was intrigued that he just carried this and a tiny palette of Gouache with him everywhere. I headed to my local Blick store and found this kit, a tiny 3.5 x 5.5 Moleskine watercolor sketchbook and 3 aqua brushes. There I was, set up for a mere fifty bucks. Cheapest initial investment ever!
The great thing about this is that the Moleskine sketchbook is the same size as this so I just rubber banded them together with the aqua brushes and I can throw it in a messenger bag, glove compartment or whatever. It's not quite jean pocket size, but will fit in most coat pockets.
You really have the necessary colors you need to start. I've been using fairly consistently for almost a year and never felt like I was missing a color. The mixing pan pops out so it's SUPER easy to clean. Rinse with warm water, wipe out with cloth or paper towel and pop back in. The case is solid and I've never worried about it being damaged. The individual pigment pans are all replaceable so if you run out of one color, just order the replacement pan instead of replacing the whole set. They apparently have 40 pans to choose from. Attempting a quick internet search leads me to believe they aren't terribly easy to come by, however.
These are considered Student Quality pans. I recently upgraded to a Winsor Newton Professional Quality Field Box. It's about 3 times the price of this, and equally nifty in terms of portability and ease of use. The included colors are nearly identical to this set. I did a tone study using the full palette from both kits on two separate sheets of paper. The Van Gogh colors were a bit more dull and muted. However, it wasn't the large difference I was expecting. At cursory glance, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the two apart.
Overall, this is a REALLY great set for the price - and honestly - just a great set period. If you're looking to start Watercoloring save yourself some money and pick up this kit! I've included some of the 3.5 x 5.5 inch sketches I've completed with this set using the Pentel Aqua Brushes and the Moleskine Watercolor sketchbook. | 5 |
I like these, but I wish they were a little larger. They just seem too small for even the smallest beads. They just hide way too much. Good quality though. | 4 |
Very nice sizes. I bought these as a second set once I got into making bath bombs at home. I wish I'd bought them sooner! Especially for batches that I needed to stretch with the smaller molds. I would buy these first knowing what I know now. Good quality. Easy to clean, durable, and can certainly take a lot of pressure - which is required to create a good bath bomb. | 5 |
Perfect timing, came with our model and easy clean up. These two tubes should last us at least another battleship model. | 5 |
Great product. Will order from again | 5 |
Great quality products. Great for painting on. Sturdy | 5 |
It's delightful to be able to due cut these useful phrases. | 4 |
Nice beginner brush. Holds up well. | 4 |
We purchased these for our daughter who is really wanting to become an artist.
They have a professional feel and worked very well.
My daughter spent most the day Christmas drawing with them and was doing such a great job.
Packaging was very solid, and the items travel well in the mail. | 5 |
Used for dye cutting | 5 |
very pretty and nice sized for necklaces | 5 |
These are so much fun! I am making earrings, and had a lot of neat pairs with which to do so. I ordered two more sets, and am in the fun process of sorting. Highly recommend. | 5 |
new to embossing so it is trail and error. the product is of good quality. | 4 |
A really quick way to make your own binding with the cost of an expensive machine. It has the slots for 3 sizes and the pressing surface is right there to keep the strips exactly how your want them. The lines on the ironing surface help keeps things nice and straight ! | 5 |
This is my third brother machine and I love it. They are so reasonably priced and work very well. | 5 |
I love the colors of this yarn. I have 3 skeins of Dragonfly and 5 skeins of Winery. They both have stunning colors.
I have found these to be extremely easy to work with. Other reviews have mentioned that this yarn is fragile and dissolves like cotton candy in your hands.
I am a novice knitter (however have crocheted for most of my life). I am knitting a scarf, and keep having to rip back to correct mistakes. This yarn has been a real champ, putting up with all of my abuse. Especially since it is pretty much nothing more than roving!
I have rolled all 8 of my skeins with my ball winder, and didn't run into a single knot. Judging from many of the other reviews, I consider myself quite fortunate. Usually lucky things like this don't happen to me, so I'm looking out to be sure a rock doesn't fall on my head!
UPDATE:
The thickness has been consistant as well. Uh oh, I think I see a rock coming! | 5 |
It was dirty and the hinges didn't work right when I got it! I'm sorry, but when I buy something *NEW*, I find it really disgusting when someone's hair is all over it! The hinges pop off when i try to open or close it. | 1 |
You can always use more bobbins. | 4 |
works well to clean brushes | 5 |
Elegant details, strong die | 5 |
Remarkable tool. But it has a trick. You need at least a 2 inch hole in center of leather to get it rolling. I found a You Tube video on how to use this tool. It took me a few minutes of frustration but once the hole was bigger and I got a "string of leather showing it whirled along and I got a pile of laces. A lot of it being successful is your leather. It might not be you or the tool. Really thin stuff seems to be a problem. Leather that is really uneven in thickness is quirky too. I found that the thicker, in width, strips worked the best for me. In general it works. Don't be afraid. I wish I had invented it. | 4 |
Not what I had expected, but it is okay. I hope I use it enough to just the cost. Would not order it again | 1 |
This is a great punch for craft projects. 1/16 inch is pretty small. Next time I'll buy just a little bigger one. But this one is easily used with yarn, cotton thread, or twine. I highly recommend this product. It is study and looks like it will last for years. | 5 |
It's a mat. Replaces old one of mine | 5 |
Love the size. | 5 |
Great for replacement backs! | 5 |
I have a number of ink pads that were ready to be thrown away, or so I thought. I used a couple of spritze of the Inkssentials Ink Refresher, lightly rub it into the pad & now it's back on the shelf! | 5 |
Great price for a trusted brand. Very easy touse. The automatic bobbin and needle threaders make this a joy to use. I've yet to use many of the set features but it promises to be a snap. Got lots of buttons tosew back on, so this should save time! | 5 |
These are really nice needles, but they are extremely sharp. A little more sharp than I think is necessary. I do tend to tap/push the needle tip when I knit, so for some the sharpness my not be an issue, but I haven't come across anything that needs a needle this sharp. The cord is good, smooth join and very little memory. The needle tip itself is smooth and slick and not overly slippery, which I like a lot. I would say that these are my second favorite behind ChiaoGoo. | 4 |
I tried making a few coasters with silicone molds. That part works great - they pop right out. One thing though, if you make coasters - putting anything hot on it (coffee or tea mug, etc.) will slightly melt the surface just enough to stick to the bottom of the mug and leave a slight depressed ring on the coaster. It doesn't really ruin it, but it's the sticking while you're using it as a coaster that you can't get away from. Not complaining as it doesn't state it will hold up to direct heat, but FYI for those interested.
I'm going to try spray coating with something that resists the heat but haven't tried it yet. But for the cast itself, it's very straightforward, doesn't smell while curing, and comes out very clear. Depending on your use, you'll have to work out the best method to avoid bubbles, which is not always easy. | 5 |
I really love this brush. It holds a great amount of water, comes to a very nice point. Perfect for my needs. Honesly, if i didn't know it was synthetic, I would probably not be able to tell. | 5 |
workmanship not great | 3 |
This is the absolute bomb for just adding that last little finishing touch to your project. It is the finest of tiny sparkle and the small tip can be precisely placed wherever you want it. I am very happy with the clear and am looking forward to trying out the other colours. I included a picture of card I made for a bride-to-be and the wedding colours were black and white - the Wink of Stella gave the card the finishing touch. | 5 |
Junk, poor material. | 1 |
Summary: Good option for home users who need the ability to punch more than a few sheets at a time.
I work in an office and store all my paperwork in 3 ring binders. I've used a variety of paper punches (ACCO, Swingline, Boston, Bates, etc. over the years and on my desk now is a Rolodex P-500 paper punch (no longer made, but available on ebay for perhaps a Jackson plus shipping) which can punch through 50 sheets of paper.
The PaperPro is clearly not in that class, but it's not a bad option for the home user. My wife is treasurer of our parent teacher organization. She doesn't need the ability to adjust to various sizes and centers (for that matter, I've never used all the features on my P-500 and in fact have the edge guide taped into place so it can't move) She seldom punches more than 10 sheets at a time, but the design of this paper punch does make that more easy than any of the light weight paper punches.
Like: Compact size, Sliding pin which locks the arm in the down position for storage, fixed edge guide
Dislikes: Fidgety closure on waste compartment - I see my self spilling confetti whenever I empty this.
. | 4 |
Perfect size for charms and stitch markers. | 5 |
These work fine just a little smaller than I expected. | 4 |
This is a great cutter. It is so easy to use. I can fold fabric over several times and it cuts through all layers just fine so you can create really long strips. Tons easier than trying to lay things out and cut with a rotary tool. Love this it saves so much time! | 5 |
Everyone needs one or two of these picks. Most dies need some poking out of small pieces. Love this tool! | 5 |
Nice pattern assortment. Have not used yet | 5 |
Cute little set. | 4 |
Summary: Great assortment of carving tools for clay, entry-level quality, but can be easily improved...
I've taken to making decorative ceramic tiles, even making my own master and mold. The ceramics class has a set of carving tools very similar to these. While they are somewhat dull and some of the heads are mis-aligned, it took only a few minutes to straighten out the heads and in some instances, sharpen/smooth the edges with some 600 grit wet-dry sandpaper.
Since the tools are nearly all double-sided, you end up with a fantastic assortment of tools.
Free/discounted sample provided for evaluation. My goal is an honest and informative review. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! | 5 |
These arrived today and will do the job nicely. | 5 |
Can't say I like these compared to others I bought. These are a hit and a miss on the stones. Mostly a miss. Not as sparkly and stones are pushed in too much. A lot of the clay part shows where as colored ones I bought were very bright and sparkly. These not so much. Quality just isn't there. | 2 |
Excellent cutting tool. | 5 |
good product. Got it quick and with no problems | 4 |
