This came with just about everything you need to start a Hobby Silk Screen workshop.I was planning on just doing Emulsion prints but it comes with Instuctions on Stencil, and drawing fluid and of course Emulsion. For $25 I'm not complaining. It would be nice if it came with Tranfer paper but that's easy enough to find. If you want to make bigger runs I suggest you buy more supplies like, Lights for Emulsion, Multiple Screens, Lots of Ink, A Nicer Squeegie, And an actual press for convenience.. which I'm planning on buying in the future but this is a very good deal for now... Especially considering how much you save.

I always wanted to do print screening, and this product really helped me to get started. Just follow the instructions and you can make magical things appear on your shirts haha... Great product! Only used up, I would say, about 20% of this starter (Mind you, STARTER) kit, and i've made about 8 shirts already. Pretty cool!

Best Deals for Speedball Super Value Opaque Fabric Screen Printing Kit

I bought this kit over a year ago and Ive definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. I had never attempted to screen print anything before buying this kit, although I did watch one of my friends try to print a t-shirt with a kit he bought for $30 at an art supply store (I dont remember the brand, but it wasn't a speedball). Unfortunately, it didnt work out well for him. Needless to say I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this kit but it had enough good reviews to convince me to buy it. First off I have no complaints about the seller, it arrived on time and everything was in good shape (no spilled paint, punctured containers, etc.). It comes with a pretty basic instruction manual which will be enough to get you started as far using stencils. If you're planning on using the photo emulsion method, however, you'll want to get a more comprehensive manual.

I was really surprised at how easy it is to make quality prints with this kit. Obviously making the stencil is going to take up the majority of time during the process, but after you make about a dozen you'll be surprised at how efficient you'll get (this is coming from a dude with almost no artistic talent/ability). The first thing I made was a t-shirt with "DIRTBAG" printed on it for a friend of mine (he's a dirtbag), and in spite of the instruction manual saying that lettering is too detailed for the stenciling method (?) it came out perfect. I've made dozens of shirts and patches in the last year and I still have plenty of ink left, I did have to buy another screen about 4-5 months ago but I imagine thats normal. I was very dilligent about cleaning it after I used it but I still ended up with small spots of dried paint that I couldnt remove.

I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants to try their hand at screen printing, it has everything you need to get started and you cant beat the price (i saw the same kit at Michaels for $45). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the product description lists the wrong ink colors and the instruction manual could be alot better.

Honest reviews on Speedball Super Value Opaque Fabric Screen Printing Kit

This is a really good little kit. Great screen and really great product. The only reason i gave it four and not five is the description of the colors is wrong. It comes with silver,red and blue. I can use them all so its no big deal to me. But just be aware the description has the wrong colors listed:)

Other than that it is a really great kit for people just starting screen printing.

So I purchased this a few months ago, haven't used it much because the ink that it comes with is not right. First the description says Black, Blue and Red ink. Well there was no black ink, only a shiny silver... not much I'm going to do with that. The blue is fine, but the red is too orange in color. So just know that when you get this product from Amazon.

Yes I'm a dressmaker by choice. I was curious about the AccuquiltGo, of course, but when I realized it's capability for cutting perfect bias strips I was SOLD. I've purchased the dies in the most common bias strip widths that I use. I can't tell you how pleased I am to be able to cut perfect strips, again and again. This is especially welcome as I age and need all the extra help I can get. Dressmakes, this tool is not for Quilters ONLY.

Review of 3M Command Medium Picture Hanging Strips Black 4 Sets/Pkg; 3

3M Command Medium Picture Hanging Strips Black 4 Sets/Pkg; 3 Items/Order
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was thrilled to find that 3M came out with some black strips. I used these to mount speakers to my treadmill. I've used the 3M picture hanging strips since they came out. I first used them to hang framed certificates in my work cubicle. Then I finally got my act together and hung up a ton of framed photos in our hallway at home. This was SO much easier than using a hammer and nail. I used a small level to make sure that the frame was level and then just stuck it to the wall. (I NEED to use a level because other wise everything leans in one direction.) And if I accidentally stuck it a little bit uneven, as my husband is so willing to point out, once the adhesive has set, you can pull the picture off the wall and make your adjustments. Pulling the picture off the wall leaves the other part stuck on the wall, so it's just a matter of resnapping the pieces together.

I grew up with a painter (my grandmother), so I have enough experience with hanging paintings... but when I moved to a new city, I didn't have any of the tools I needed to hang paintings on the wall. This kit is perfect! The wire is very sturdy yet surprisingly light weight, and bends easily so it's no problem to wind it around itself at the back of the picture to secure it. I hung a couple very heavy acrylic paintings on canvas with solid wood frames, and have had no problems at all (I used two hooks on the wall to hold up each painting since they were so heavy). Nailing the hanger hook to the wall is very simple and straight forward. I haven't used the eye hooks yet, since the frames I bought already had hooks on the back (just no wire), so I can't comment on how to get those in or how well they work. Just one note, make sure you have some wire cutters (many sets of pliers have wire cutters on the inside hinge), as the metal wire would be too strong to cut any other way, but cuts easily with wire cutters.

This thing totally hung a mirror on my wall. It was amazing! I put the mirror up on the wall...and it stayed there. It was the most extreme experience of hanging something on a wall that I have ever had. Changed my life. I can't wait until I have to hang something up on the wall again.

When I first tried to use this platform, I thought it was defective because the black "teeth" on the bottom were missing and the platform wouldn't go through the device when the handle was turned. After much frustration and a little internet searching, I found that the platform works on pressure, not on the little gear teeth that the 4" platform works with. Place the 12" platform in the die cutting machine, put on your dies, paper, and cutting plate, then push the platform through until it won't go anymore. Now you should be able to use the handle to run the platform the rest of the way through. Good luck!

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I am quite enamored of these needles. The smaller sizes are particularly great accidentally sitting on and splintering a bamboo size 3 which was half of a pair is not a good thing. These Karbonz are very sturdy and seem unlikely to warp. They are nice and smooth. Lighter colored yarn in particular shows up well on these needles. I am building up quite a collection of Karbonz in different sizes. Treat yourself to a pair I bet you will want more.

I ordered carbon fiber knitting needles because they sound awesome. And they are. They're black with nice pointy metal tips, and they will not bend or break easily. I am a little bummed that they're similar to plastic needles: the yarn sticks to them, and they get warm in your hands. And they're so inflexible that they're a little hard to use for someone like me who's used to rosewood and bamboo. But I still really like them, and I intend to get some more...but maybe just as circulars.

I really don't know anything about airbrushes and related equipment but I needed a decent quality setup for stuff around the house.

I do ceramics, pottery and gourds and use this on all of them....works great with underglazes on ceramics and pottery and beautiful with paint on gourds.

I bought several colors of this paint in the satin and pearl finishes and I use them to paint fabric, but I also used them on wood. They are great for just about any project, as they are suitable for many different surfaces, including glass and metal! I admit, they did not stick to the plastic I painted, but it was just a shot in the dark to see if it would work. Overall, I would recommend these paints. Even though they are just a little pricey, it is worth it to save space in my crafting area because I do not have to have 8 bottles of the same color to use on different surfaces!

I'm just getting into stamping and card making for my Etsy store, so I was trying to avoid spending a lot of money on start-up, but wanted to get the best value for my money. These blocks are quite thin. Some are worried that they blocks might break. My biggest problem is that it's hard to get a good grip on the edges because they are so thin, and I almost always getting my fingers inked up. Not such a big deal, unless you're making cards and end up getting inky fingerprints all over the cardstock. If I keep doing this long term, I'll invest in some more substantial blocks, but these are good for newbies.

I really appreciate the various sizes and have used them with success. I will admit I was surprised at how thin they were but probably just missed that part in the various dimensions listed. Only concern would be putting too much pressure on one which is not filled up by the stamp and snapping the block. So far so good.

These are the only blocks I use. Before I purchased a set of blocks, I tested a few with friends and at Archiver's. The size range that comes in this set is great. The blocks are thick enough to be travel to crops, but no so thick that they are difficult to handle. The grid lines are easy to see and I find very useful. I would recommend this product. It would be a great gift to any new stamper.

Honest reviews on Tim Holtz Acrylic Grid Block Set - 9 Pieces-

These are the very thin blocks -about 1/8 inch thick. I didn't realize it when I purchased them. I suppose it was my own fault. I read the size of the shipping package as 1/2 inch thick and thought it said that was the thickness of the blocks. The description provided no information regarding the sizes of the blocks -I figured out the lengths and widths from the picture, but not the thickness. I don't like them because it is hard to hold onto them for stamping and to lift them off without smearing the ink or touching the paper with your fingers. I'll pay more attention next time.

This was the best option I could find when selecting a set that covered all my stamp sizes/dimensions. My only negative remark is in regards to the thickness of the blocks. They are thin and I often dip my fingertips into the ink. If they were just a tad thicker I would have rated this product with five stars.

we have this set in the tangled version. it is great! mess free & keeps them buys for hours. i do suggest tearing pages out for painting & hanging them up as soon as the kids a re finished painting them. the paint tends to stay tacky for a while. we have 4 pages that are now one because she just flipped the page when she was done & moved on to the next page. this is not really a problem just a little aggravating if they are making pictures for a family member. i recommend this product to everyone!

Best Deals for Crayola Color Wonder Spiderman Gift Set

In looking at other reviews, I was prepared for the product to be more like gel than paint; and understood that giving it to a two-year-old was a risk I was taking on myself.

Overall, my son LOVES painting with this stuff. I just have to be sure to grab the paper when he's done to blot off the excess and hang his "masterpiece" to dry.

My main complaint about this, is that the color of the "paint" is only on the lid of each container. My son likes to open all of the lids and then go wild painting. But there's no way to be selective in color choice. I think this takes away from the "creative" experience as he is blindly slapping gel on paper rather than selecting from, reinforcing the colors he is learning in school.

I know my kid isn't Picasso, I just don't see why they can't put a color dot on the bottom so when you look in the container, it shows the color through the clear gel. Just sayin'.
