you don't get that many stickers for $8 and the patterns start to rub off fairly quickly. they are paper stickers, not plastic, and therefore have an "office label" type texture rather than a "scotch tape" one. not exactly like washi tape.

This is far superior to using just a simple nail to hang something. First, the bracket holds the nail at a good angle so that you don't drive the nail in at a funny angle. Second, it only lets you drive the nail in so far, so you don't hammer too hard and drive the nail all the way in where you have to use a fingernail to get it out. Third, I think it distributes the pressure across the entire bracket so you have more support and the nail won't pull out of the wall as easily.

The triangular plastic inserts provide extra strength in such a small hook. This small size and ability to support 10-pounds make them perfect for picture hanging.

no chance of bending nail on way in. someone thought about this and figured it out. why didn't I think of it?

Honest reviews on OOK 50606 ReadyNail Conventional Picture Hook Tidy Tin Supports

Slightly inferior to competitor's products where the customized nail fits snugly in a sleeve at the top of the hook and is easily removed by hand; readynail uses a small plastic block to keep the standard brass nail in place for shipping and hammering. That said, we have been using these given the combination of price and convenience offered on Amazon and have found them to function exactly as advertised and needed. Also, the tins that the 30 packs ship in are very convenient for keeping hooks of various sizes organized.

I will update this review should that change, but do not expect it to do so.

If you are looking to standardize your document frames (DAX #1826N3T) don't order through Amazon. You may receive them from Kentucky, which takes a mechanical engineer to calculate and align measurements between the two (2) v-shaped eyelets on the back of the frame, although the craftsmanship is of better quality than the frames from Nevada, which are thicker and put together with cuts resembling a rip saw, but they do have a single flat eyelet in the middle of the back of the frame, making for easier mounting. Easier mounting does not make the looks of frame easy on the eyes compared to the Kentucky version.

Amazon's Customer Service and several Customer Service supervisors were of no help in placing an order from either Kentucky or Nevada, which would guanantee the same style. Why are there 2 different styles of DAX #1826N3T, unless they are trying to get rid of one or the other, or both?

This has been a real nightmare dealing with Amazon and considering the number of nail holes in my wall, so if you are looking for conformity in certificate framing, it's a crap shoot for which one you will recieve and believe me hanging both togetther looks like an eye sore.

I fell in love with this particular brand of paint about a year ago and simply will not purchase any other acrylic paint, other than some that are in the tube form. It's too bad that they do not make the Ceramcoat in tube form because the tubes are so much easier in terms of transporting, storing, etc. This brand is super creamy and it covers very well. If you have not tried Ceramcoat, then you must give it a shot.

The product quality was as described the 3-star rating is because I used them once and will probably never use them again. High price to use them once and dislike them so. If you are looking for the same comfort of your regular circular needles, you won't get it with these. The needles and cord are excellently crafted but the needles are so short that you begin getting hand cramps almost immediately. If you like to have only one WIP (work in progress) then these aren't for you I found that after two rows, I had to put them down for quite a while and go onto something else.

This INCA GOLD color is not found in any other brand. I have tried them all. It is a lighter, coppery (not red copper, light gold copper) color. The others brands do not have anything even close. It is a metallic gold that highlights better because it is so light gold, not the darker ones that almost look brown. It's hard to describe but if you highlight paintings or crafting, try this color. I find this brand is good too all-around, cheaper at Walmart then on Amazon but it is HARD to find this color at stores!

Over the years I have used so many marker brands (Letraset, Copic, Prismacolor, etc.) and I always come back to Chartpak. I have Chartpak markers that are 20 years old, and they are still as juicy as the day I bought them. Yes, they do have the odor of xylene solvent, but worth the beautiful blocks of color you can lay down with them: solid, no streaks. They lay down color on just about any type of paper as easily as marker paper. I know trying to use other marker brands on absorbent sketch paper just dries out the tip and you have to wait to for the ink to flow back into the tip. Not Chartpak's tips: they just keep going. They also have a bigger reservoir barrel for more ink than most other brands. And, the selection of colors is great. I like mid-tone to less saturated colors a good deal, and Chartpak has plenty of them along with stronger ones. I usually use the markers for blocking color and then use pastel or colored pencil for more subtle shading, but if you need to quickly crank out a colored sketch these guys will do the job.

Highly recommend them.

The pictures of this set made me think that at least the box was a nice wooden one with a felt interior. However, when it arrived I learned that the box, locks, and handle are flimsy... and the black interior is a very thin plastic insert that falls out if you're not careful. The brushes and paints are mediocre at best. I wasn't looking for something lavish with a 39.99 price tag, but I would have thought there'd be something of a "gift set" appeal... I guess I was wrong.

I bought this kit because it came with brushes and a good selection of acrylic paints. The brushes were great and a good quality, I had more options than I needed.

Cheap Artistic Wire Worker

Artistic Wire Worker
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
It's a very simple but useful tool that can make curls, wire beads and split rings by wrapping the wire around the mandrel. The instructions are not very well pictured nor do they have clear precise instructions on how to keep the wire on the mandrel or from over lapping each other. However you can find many video tutorials on how to use a wire coiler/ wire gizmo and the premise is pretty much the same.

I found that you can hold the wire in your free hand near the mandrel and use it to keep the tension as you use the other hand to turn. The reason for only the 3 stars is the plastic mandrels of different shapes don't release the wire wrapping when you're done. I couldn't slide my work off of it and it was stuck. I ended up unwrapping it after loosing it didn't work. The wire ended up kinked up and having been worked on too much, the color came off and became useless.

I did try some cheap kids craft wire that seems to be wrapped in plastic coating and with a little looser wrap, the work did come off the mandrel easier. However with it being looser, the coil was twisted a few degrees with each turn. I got the original coiling gizmo economy deluxe as well and that works like a charm. I am keeping this as it is more portable and has the oval and triangular shape i really wanted. I just wished that it was all metal mandrels and had better instructions.

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.

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. 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.

Best Deals for SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack

We've purchased several SEI tie-dye kits since we tried out the first one and fell in love with them. They are so easy to use. There is no mixing involved. You don't need buckets. You simply tie up your shirts and spray them. The pump is similar to a hair spray pump so it may be a little difficult for younger kids. My 5 yo can do it with a little assistance.

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.

Honest reviews on SEI Tie Dye Tumble-Dye, Primary Kit with Idea Book, 3 Pack

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.

I own the purple Knifty Knitter(KK) double rake loom and have made 9 scarves with it using the figure 8, rib, and stockinette patterns. The loom's gauge is .75 inches and works great with bulky yarns. Since using this loom, I've become addicted to making scarves.

I'm rating the purple KK loom four stars for two reasons. The first reason is that the instructs that come with the loom are poor; however, many websites including Provo Craft (the maker of the loom) are loaded with loom knitting patterns and instructions.

Secondly, the purple KK double rake loom cannot be used in a circular pattern as no pegs were placed on the loom's ends. To counter that situation, Provo Craft sells KK Loom clips but no retailer in my area sells them and the purchase of them online costs more than the loom itself.

Outside my complaints, the purple KK double rake loom is great and I've made some very beautiful scarves for my family as gifts.

ETA: Loom clips will not fit this loom.
