Best 1 Inch Stencils Letters & Numbers (8 X 10 Sheet) Deals
I was doing a job and needed various sizes of stencils for marking specific things. This product along with various other sizes certainly did the trick! They are sturdy and do not bleed with spray pain. Even after using them, they could probably be used again!
Jean Buttons Kit 8 Sets Review
Got the buttons and tacked one of them on my jeans. Easily snaps to place with the given plastic tool and some hammer applications. Also, I received 2 extra buttons. Quite a pleasant surprise.

This is a piece of garbage. Was skeptical but when I saw 8 stars, I thought I'd give these a try. Save your money and go to a taylor. "Tool" is a cheap little piece of plastic that doesn't even hold small back of button in place. Then, you actually hammer the two sides of the button through the cloth of your jeans. Well, as you can image, its almost impossible to line the 2 sides of the button up perfectly and by the time your done, the buttons dented an still not attached.

Always love Sharpies, bright, long-lasting, and fun. Note that the 5 markers on the left side of the front row may not be the same as the ones pictured, since they are the limited edition ones... was a little disappointed that I didn't get the "Caribbean Colors" set, but love them just the same.

Shapie markers are simply the best permanaemt markers for just about any use. We use them for making quick signs in our shop, putting names on clothing (on the inside), and in the woodshop to indicate cut lines.The colors are bright and do not fade over time. They are also pernanent, so some care should be taken.
Highly recommended!

First off, I'd like to say I was very pleased to see that the markers came in the mail as shown in the picture. Anyways, as for the title, I noticed that none of the reviews or the page itself stated what colors came in this 24-pack, that colored sharpie in the top row second from the left is what I believed to be Indigo, it's actually Navy.Anyways, here are the colors as named by Sharpie:
Slate Grey
Navy
Sky Blue
Turquoise
Lime Green
Mint
Yellow
Peach
Orange
Pink Lemonade
Magenta, I believe
Berry
Boysenberry
Purple
Brown
Jellie Pink
Leg Warmer Orange
Valley Girl Violet
Banana Clip Yellow
Argyle Green
Black
Blue
Green
Red
Although it didn't have Indigo, I'm not going to let that affect my review. What matters is the markers arrived in a box of their own, packaged just like in the picture, brand-spanking-new. 5 stars from me!

This was the worst thread I have ever bought!!
You couldn't even use a regular needle to thread it, it just came apart. The seller wouldn't even respond to any emails to refund their product so I WILL NOT BUY!!! From them again.
Thank god AMAZON took care of all of it and refunded my money. So if they did one product purchase this way then all it tells me is they must do all the same when it comes to not being satisfied.

Reading the reviews of other packages of curved sewing needles here on amazon, I felt reluctant to purchase any. According to the reviews, they all broke as soon as they came near materials like denim or leather.
Imagine my delight when I sewed a thick blanket onto my crummy leather couch without a single hassle. The curved needle worked just like you'd expect. I even used an inner strand from some paracord as thread, which put a lot of stress on the eye when I pulled the knot through.

These stamps mimic an old typewriter. They even go so far as to have each character have slight imperfections built in. These are good at times, and troublesome at other times. When typing a whole sentence the manufactured imperfections become a little more obvious. I think they are great for the price. they also come with circle, square, star, and heart stamps.

Each stamp is just over 1/4 inch wide and long. They are tiny. That is my first disappointment. My second disappointment is the letters are purposely made to look corroded or worn . I don't want or need this in a stamp set, because the act of stamping itself will create flaws and irregularities. ("antique typeface" usually refers to the STYLE of the letters, not the condition. I wanted old style letters in good condition.)The whole set is smaller than a tennis ball. I would return it for a refund but the cost and trouble are not worth it.

I have 4 of these in my front windows and they look so pretty at night. I love the automatic on at dusk/off at dawn without having to use batteries. Good price; the only drawback is I have to buy them online and pay shipping/handling which costs the same as or more than the product itself in this case if buying only 1. I can't find them in any of the stores near me even around the holidays.

After 20 years of putting my window candles on timers throughout the long New England winter, I opted to replace my dozen with these which have sensors. I was completely delighted with the size (the bases fit all my various sills) and pleased to see they had the full 7 watt bulbs -unlike the weaker battery models. My only problem was this: in the kitchen, the sensor did not "read" dusk even when it was dark outside the window, because there was too much light in the room. My husband wrapped the stems with white paper secured with tape, which acted like a lampshade. Voila! They now come on at dusk just as all the others do. Having lights in my windows is a profound pleasure of winter evenings; these are the best I've found.Best Deals for Darice 6206 Brass Plated Candle Lamp with On/Off Sensor
I have 12 of these in my house. I expected at least one to have a defect but all 12 worked perfectly! I even dragged one of them off the counter by mistake and it fell to the tile floor and the bulb smashed but the light is still working just fine. I looked at all the different window light options and at first wanted the LED battery ones but after looking at all the ones available decided not to get them for the below reasons.1. From all the reviews I have seen the LED bulbs either come in organge (think halloween orange) or white (LED super bright harsh white). I did not want orange lights. These plug in look so much nicer and the light color is closer to an actual flame coloring. This was probably the most important difference for me. I did not want halloween orange lights.
2. From all the reviews it appears the battery lights are not as bright. I live on .5 acre and am set away from the road. My neighbor across the street who is at least 300 ft away from me commented on how nice and bright the lights are.
3. I thought that battery ones would be easier but after researching it I found that is not exactly the case. It seems most of the LED have timers but you have to set the timer based on when the light is initially on. People commented that they would have them all set (if you have a lot you need to work quick to set them all together as they have to be set individually). Once it came time to change batteries you have to try to get the new lights in sync with the old ones. With these plug in lights they have a light sensor and automatically come on when it is dark and turn off when it is light.
4. Some people commented on the batteries in the LED's only lasting 1-2 months for the AA and 3-4 months for the C kind. I did not want to bother with having to change batteries since I am running 12 lights. I like that I just plug it in and leave it.
5. I thought it would be cheaper to use the batteries but after calculating the cost I found it would cost me $3.00 to run all 12 lights 12hrs a day for a month. It would cost me around $9.00 to run the LED's (assuming the 2 C batteries in each would last 4 months). So it was cheaper for me to get the plug in ones.
So in review: If you are looking at these vs. LED
-The color of these are much nicer unless you are going for that LED bright white or orange
-They are brighter (according to folks who own LED battery ones)
-They are easy, plug it in and forget it!
-They may be cheaper depending on your electricity rate and what cost you can get batteries
Obviously I have not owned the battery led but went through every model I could find and looked at every review (both good and bad) and this is the information I found.
Overall I love these and am VERY happy with my purchase. I will probably leave them on all winter as I love the way they look. They are bright so if you need complete darkness while you sleep they might not be for you. I have them in my bedroom and my sons and we have no issue with them on while sleeping. Yes, they are light weight but I just added a little bit of masking tape to the base and they sit fine.

There are colored pencils and then there are Cretacolor Woodless Watercolor Pencils. They are solid color: to gain a finer point you simply rub the tip at an angle across paper. The color, weight, and silky smoothness must be experienced to be believed. I am all about amortization; if you calculate how many sets of lesser pencils you would have to buy to get the same length of use as these Cretacolor pencils, you'd see the economy of going for the gusto. No worries about trashing a fine point while sharpening. These pencils will last you a *very* long time. I have given several sets of these pencils as much-appreciated gifts.

Review of SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack
This is a really cool product. I mixed together a few of the colors to make green, purple, and pink, giving me a total of 6 colors to play with. If you add a little water to them, the color won't be quite so intense, and you get much more dye out of the pack. The paint dries super fast and after a quick trip in the dryer, you're all done. it was a very clean, very simple, and very fun project.
This is a review for only the red blue and yellow dye on the shirts. The purple and black is another brand of fabric spray paint.
So I started with pre-washed and dried shirts. Did my spraying on the kitchen counter covered with a thick layer of plastic table cloth. The shirt on the right I sprayed in all my twists and folds and tried to saturate as much as I could with the spray bottle. It looks most like traditional spiral tie dye.
The middle I did some light chrunching and spraying, then refolding so white was exposed and spray again. This spray color does not soak too much through folds so only the white parts exposed end up dyed, unless you spray in the folds. You can tell on this middle shirt that there is a look of sprayed dye in spots. It is just a differnt look.
Now as far as 18 shirts? Not likely. Maybe if you did a little design in the middle of 18 shirts. But one of the colors I used, I ended up using the entire bottle on just these three kids shirts, size one extra small, and two size small.
That being said... I am still more than happy with how the product worked for this project. I sprayed the shirts. Let them dry, took out all rubber bands if there was any. Then let air dry again to make sure it was completely dry. Then tossed them dry, into the dryer to heat seal the color in. I was worried about other reviews who said color washed out. Not so... the color was just as vibrant after I washed them in cold water and detergent, and dried them. I was pumped to see how BRIGHT the colors were still. Not the case when I used other dunk dye methods in the past.
The shirts are ready to go! So I am super happy.
It is a newer medium as far as the spray method goes. You have to work and play with it. I do consider myself a bit on the crafty side. Little kids elementary age, may have a difficult time with the spray nossle, I didn't have too much trouble with it, but can see how a young kid may.
Clean up was nice. It washed off my counter easily with just water, where it happened to overspray. But yes you will have colored fingernail creases, and hands for a day or two if you do not wear gloves. But that too didn't last too long, and I really get my hands into working with the shirts when I make them.
The shirts come out great if you wet them before putting on the rubber bands. LET THEM DRY COMPLETELY before removing the rubber bands. Then you simply throw them in the dryer and they are ready to wear. Even after a few washes the colors are still vibrant.
If you are looking for the quickest, easiest and cleanest method of tie dying I highly recommend this product. I'd suggest using rubber gloves and spraying the shirts on a piece of cardboard and letting them dry there (or in a plastic bag). That way there is little to no clean up. You can make a few shirts (and clean up after them) in just a few minutes.

I wanted to dye shirts for my kids to wear to Disney World so I can keep track of them. This is the kit I decided on, mainly because of price at the time. The kit ended up being a good choice for a few reasons. One it is cold here. There is a foot of snow on the ground. Tie Dye is something I usually do outside only, but given the conditions I had not much choice. I was not looking forward to the idea of a container of dye and drippy soaking T-shirts, soda ash soaking etc. But this kit you can use with dry shirts. That being said I know that you MUST MUST MUST always pre-wash and dry your shirts before you start. If you do not many times the sizing that keep the shirts looking new and fresh in the store also keeps dye from staying on the shirt.This is a review for only the red blue and yellow dye on the shirts.

My lady is doing a little tie dye project for her fellow bridesmaids and asked me to buy her a tie dye kit. i bought this one. it was really easy to use and made far less of a mess than your conventional tie dye kit, but don't even think about being able to use this kit for 15 shirts like it advertises on the package. it could do that if you wanted to use a few squirts per shirt but trust me, if you want the color of the typical tie dye shirt you'll need to use half to a full bottle of this stuff to achieve it. then again, if you only want to do a shirt or two or a pair of socks or something this stuff worked great! harder to get the spiral and other patterns though... since this is a dry kit and those designs work best cause the dye runs with water.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack
