These are beautiful cling type stamps.

The stamps are detailed nicely I get a crisp, clean image when stamping. Currently I use them as wreath images, then stamp some florals around it, also as topiaries and then hand paint the stem in between the round stamped images to tie them together. The larger ones have a big enough space inside to place a small greeting, too.

They stick to my acrylic blocks very well. Easy to clean. I just use baby wipes on them, they dry fast, and I replace them onto the clear plastic sheet it arrived on.

Reviews of Clover 8493 Kanzashi Flower Maker Orchid Petal Quilt Pattern

Clover 8493 Kanzashi Flower Maker Orchid Petal Quilt Pattern, X-Small
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I've ordered *several* of these kanzashi flower makers, so I'll be basically copy/pasting my reviews on them since I feel the same about all of theme.

I got these to use with fabric ordered from spoonflower.com and one thing to note is that all of these are VERY small, I'd say that your design needs to be micro levels of tiny in order to be noticeable on the petals. The large, however, is much larger than the small, and looks pretty nice with a small (not too busy) pattern on it.

The patterns are all very straightforward to use, the holes are numbered, and if you take your time to gather the fabric nicely when you're pulling the thread, they're lovely!

I made mine using cotton poplin fabric, but I also attempted some using a cotton with some stretch and a brocade fabric that also had some stretch. They come out best with the basic cotton poplin very little fraying and the fabric folds very well. The fabrics with stretch, though, were much less cooperative, and want to fray WAY more while being worked with.

I've also tried just hand-folding these, and it takes me significantly longer to do. Not to mention the results aren't nearly as uniform.

But, I make flowers using these templates, glue them with E6000 to a small (about 1" diameter) circle of felt, cover a button in the same or a coordinating fabric (3/4" buttons work nicely with the small, 5/8" for x-small, and 1" for large), sew that in the middle after the glue is dried, and then attach the finished flower to a brooch, headband, or necklace. Using strong adhesives and a high-strength hand quilting thread, I've yet to have any of my crafts come apart!

If you're thinking of picking these up, they're fairly cheap and fun to use. Generally, I prefer the 5 petal flowers to the 10, but you can mix petals for different looks as well.

Whoever invented this way to make fabric flowers is a genius! They are super easy to make and so cute.

The product works real good. Easy to use and good quality. I started using them right away they are a great addition to all my clothes and accessories.

Best Deals for Xfy DIY Goth Punk Spikes Spots 10mm Silver Flat Back Metal Pyramid

Honestly, I thought they'd be a tad bigger but they weren't that's fine though it got the job done. Although I do wish it was a bit bigger because a stud on belt had fallen off and I wanted to add one of these but the sizes are different.

Honest reviews on Xfy DIY Goth Punk Spikes Spots 10mm Silver Flat Back Metal Pyramid

Are you looking for pronged studs so that you can embellish your clothes yourself rather than paying an extra $20 to buy them that way like I was? Look no further. These will work! Here are a few things I noted while using them (so far I have "studded" a cotton tee shirt and a cardigan, so both pretty light materials):

-They are lightweight, which can be good or bad depending on what you are using them for. They worked just fine through a cotton tee shirt but they may not hold as well on blue jean type materials or something like vegan leather, so if that's what you are trying to use them on you may want to find something else.

-They were easy to apply using just my fingers. I'm too cheap to buy one of those stud-applicator things, so I just used my hands. I was poked a few times (the prong ends are SHARP, as they should be) but they are not challenging to use. Just make sure you bend the prongs all the way in once they are applied so they don't scrape you when you wear whatever you made! I'm sure if you had a stud applicator thing the process would be much easier and you may even be able to better get them through thicker materials.

-100 was definitely enough! After my two projects I have a lot left over which will be great for future projects.

All in all this is a good buy. They arrived quickly, appeared and worked as described, and served their purpose. If you're into saving some money, DIY, and being fashionable, for as many as you get this is much cheaper than paying extra for a studded item vs. a plain item at the store.

I am a watercolor painter and was recently introduced to M Graham watercolor paints. They are excellent. The colors are vivid and long lasting, true to specs. They are made with honey which helps to hold the pigment. I love the results I get a very little dab of these colors goes a long way. They retain their brightness on paper.r. The newest quinacradone rust is like copper in a water color pigment. Bright, glowing. I love these paints.

Honest reviews on M. Graham 1/2-Ounce Tube Watercolor Paint Set, Quinacridone Quintet

I have to admit that when I was browsing Amazon.com looking for new brushes and tube pigments as well, that the name of this set of watercolors really caught my eye. I could hardly wait to squeeze out that Quinacridone Rust color as I had been looking for just that richness in hue. I was not disappointed. As my art friends continued to work on their latest paintings, I sat there just squeezing out pigments from the other colors--nickel , violet, rose, red--indulging myself in an orgy of color experimenting as I like to do. Why don't you try them yourself? These pigments will inspire you to create all kinds of lovely surprises and isn't that how painting with watercolor rewards you? Happy dabbling to you.

I love these paints. While they do appear to be a wee bit thinner than Winsor & Newton watercolours, a little goes a very long way. These colors are intense and rich, great alone, for glazing or mixing. While it may seem expensive for the new or struggling artist, it is an expense well worth treating yourself to.

This was my first experience with an airbrush kit. I had no difficulty using the kit since everything came pre assembled and was easy to use.

In addition to this the pattern provides instructions on basic stitches that can be used for all the transfers and a DMC color guide for choosing the right color embroidery floss.

I purchased this tape for our little puppy. She must have her ears taped on and off so they will stand properly. Normally, people use masking tape which can pull ear hair, but this tape is not too sticky and was much more gentle!! Beautiful, trendy, chic and safer than masking tape. She was a definite diva sporting her pink and black checkered ears. She only needed it for a couple of days so the rest of the tape we will use for projects. I also use the tape on my daughters' webcams on their electronic devices. Since there are security concerns with some webcams now lately, this tape is cute, not too sticky at all, doesn't leave a tacky, sticky residue that will damage the lens.
