Main Street Wall Creations - Jumbo Stickers - Fairies Review

Main Street Wall Creations - Jumbo Stickers - Fairies
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

these were really just stickers. they are much smaller than they look, so we used them on paper and furniture.

The fairy and star decals are more colorful in person, and are sticking to the walls without any issue.

It is not evident in the photos, but the decals have a little bit of sparkle in the material.

The decals have an overall shiny finish, which is something to consider, because they do tend to reflect the light. Most decals I have tried are matte. However, it is not enough of an issue to return them.

I would recommend this purchase.

I bought these ones at the dollar store, and 3 years later they are coming off easily, without affecting the walls paint. I am pretty sure it will depend on the kind of paint!!

The edges did come off a bit during the years... but since at good height, no chance for kids to peel off.

I am trying another design same brand now... since I had a good experience with this first.

Honest reviews on Main Street Wall Creations - Jumbo Stickers - Fairies

I BOUGHT THIS ITEM FROM THE DOLLAR TREE. IT I NOT WATERPROOF. IT IS PRETTY BUT IT IS NOT WORTH TO STICK IT ON WALLS. IT IS FINE FOR KIDS TO STICK THEM ON SCHOOL BINDERS FOR EXAMPLE. BUT IF YOU ARE CREATIVE YOU CAN PUT THEM ON A PAINTED PIECE OF PAPER AND HANG THAT UP AS A PICURE.... IT DOES LOOK CHEAP, FYI AND IT IS NOT WORTH FOUR BUCKS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN GET FOUR OF THOSE FROM THE DOLLAR STORE.

These are from the dollar store, and they will ruin your walls when they are pulled off the wall. Way over priced.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Being an interior [retired] residential re-do painter for 24 years I know brushes well. One learns to identify a quality brush over a cheapy throw away at a glance. A quality brush is tapered at the tip allowing for precision placement of the paint being used.

That is what we have here. An inexpensive yet quality made brush. To test this you bend the bristles way back and quickly release the hairs as though you were to count them and watch for loose hairs to go flying which is a sign of poor quality. I saw no hairs release at all.

Having said that, that being said, with that said,,, LoL, that just kills me, such a turn off.

Next is the hot water test. Running the bristles under hot tap water and vigorously agitate the hairs. Watching for hairs coming loose I saw none. Next I stroke the brush back and forth on a white paper towel that is placed on a flat surface and watch for hairs that come loose. There were none.

I can't speak for their longevity as I just got them but this testing I do indicates well seated and glued brush hairs. All the brushes are trimmed perfectly at the tip. They all are tapered just right. The rubbery grip just before the head of the brush [the metal that holds the hairs] is a nice touch, I like that a lot. Each brush measures about 6 to 7 inches which is perfect for my use.

I'd recommend these to any painter needing some artist brushes. And now for what I will use them for and a tip on t-shirt painting.

I'll use these for painting t-shirts this winter. Custom scenery and other images. I used to buy fabric paint and it is not inexpensive. Then it hit me: the latex house paint I used over the years does not wash out of cloth and is pliable. It can be put on thick or thin. The thinner it is the less resilient it is. A quart of latex house paint [which comes in any color under the sun including basic white and black] is incredibly less expensive than "fabric" paint.

Great value great brushes. Amazon really is the way to go, love shopping here.

This is a great paint for projects. The only issue is that its not really a light pink so much as a pepto pink. I needed it as a base coat for a more expensive paint and it worked fabulously for that. Decent price (if like me you don't have a car/access to Hobby Lobby).

My daughter loved these paint brush pens after using the set of 5 that can be found everywhere. She asked for more colors and I thought this set contained 40 colors. Not so. It has 8 classic colors and there are 5 each. It was not what I expected.

.This product is phenomenal! My two year old loves it it because she gets to paint. I love it because there is no water on the floor. The product description says that it comes with eight colors so it is exactly what was expected. I have recommended this product to all of my friends with children. The "paintbrush" is the perfect size and shape for her little hands and the paint dries quickly. The paint comes out of her clothes and washes right off her skin. I absolutely give this product five stars. I wish I could give it more.

This is really for appliqueing, not quilting. It doesn't cut a large stack out at a time, just a few layers.

Read carefully. It doesn't come with the cutting mat, and it doesn't come with ANY dies so you can't test it out of the box if you haven't planned ahead. The mat and dies are pretty expensive and of course you can't use crafting store coupons on them. By that price point, you might as well have gotten either the programmable Bernina or the the full Accuquilt Go! if you're doing a lot of quilting with bigger pieces because the max size of the cutouts is pretty small maybe 4."

It's fine too bad the accessories you NEED to use it are separate and very expensive on top of the very expensive and fairly limited machine.

I'm returning or re-gifting it.

I love my go baby fabric square cutter I've had it for over a year, and a friend just bought one after having borrowed mine. HOWEVER, I forgot that ordering the go baby did not include the die or the cutting mat. She got her go baby, but cant use it because the die and mat were not included. I suggest strongly suggest that in the information provided on the ordering page you state that this order is only for the go baby, and not for any necessary dies or mats. I didn't mind buying them -just should have known that they were not included.

I purchased this to help my cutting go faster, the problem is that it actually took even longer than simply using my rotary cutter. It's probably great for the more intricate cutouts, but for basic quilts, it's a hassle.

Honest reviews on AccuQuilt GO! Baby Fabric Cutter

Need to use it more to really have an accurate idea, but the first whirl went well and cut out the appliques beautifully and saved me a ton of time. Now I will be able to applique more often and look forward to trying out my square die to make a little baby quilt.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for AccuQuilt GO! Baby Fabric Cutter

I was sooooo excited to get this, have been wanting it for a long time. It cuts out shapes with incredible speed (you'll give up your rotary cutter, and despise your scissors), it really does make cutting out a quilt fast. Only problem I've had (and it doesn't have to do with the cutter as much as the dies), but it doesn't always cut out the entire shape. With about every cut, or every other cut; you have to snip the threads it missedwith scissors. Some dies are worse than others for this.

These lacey squares are perfect for so many projects. Using gold foil cardstock they become a wonderful embellishment for

card making or special projects. Stamping on regular cardstock, they have such a detailed look to them. I would definitely

recommend purchasing these for everyone's personal craft supply.

Really thought this spellbinder would make a lovely card. Looking forward to getting the other Lacey spellbinders that go along with this one.

Honest reviews on Spellbinders Nestabilities Decorative Elements Dies, Lacey Squares

I make and sell greeting cards to benefit our local library, and have quite a few sets of Spellbinder dies. This five-piece 'lacy squares' set is quite nice for making labels on all sorts of cards (see customer image above for a sympathy card decorated with the next-to-the-smallest lacy square). I print the sentiment, e.g. 'with sympathy' on card-stock, then fit the die around the words and run it through the die machine twice, once to cut and once to emboss.

As with all of the Spellbinder die sets, good directions are included on how to use these dies with Cuttlebug, Big Kick & Big Shot, Spellbinders Wizard and Grand Calibur machines. I usually run them through my Grand Calibur machine.

I purchased this set for my kids to use in their writing center. The goal was a nice feeling product (wood) with clean crisp letters so that they could enjoy using them and encourage writing. Well these are certainly wood and crisp letters but I didn't pay attention to the sizing and these things are TINY. It might be fine for a grown up to use and the quality looks great. It just won't work for my needs.

Did not read the reviews until after I purchased and received these stamps, and they are small enough for barbie to use. Not a joke! They ended up working out for some small labels I had, but not for labeling on my Christmas presents (which was my initial intention). So again, just super small.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

(#1 REVIEWER)Fabricmate is good set of fabric markers. I have several sets in different colors. The pen's tip create brush-like effect, which nice and different from other fabric pens. I use them in my art quilts and they produce very good results. The edges of the color are not sharp, it is less obvious that a fabric marker was used to enhance the color. The colors are nice, they do not run, and have no unpleasant odor when they are being used as some other permanent pens.

I have gone through several sets of these pens, they last me about a year after which they dry out.
