These laminating pouches are great. Easy to use, and the result looks professional.

A few caveats:

A laminating machine is required (these are not self-adhesive pouches).

Some retail packages are marked as "medium" weight on the front, although correctly identified as "light" weight (3 mil) on the back.

Laminating pouches are often incorrectly advertised in "mm" thickness instead of the correct "mil" thickness. For example, this product is advertised as "3 mm" (0.118 inch), but it is actually 3 mil (0.003 inch) thickness, as correctly identified on the packaging.

Create Your Own Wind Chime With These Petite Wind Chime Tubes

Customer Ratings:

Smaller than they look. Only good for decoration, not really much sound, just a light tinkle (but a nice tinkle). Holes are already drilled. That's a small plus. Not bad priced though, since I cannot find anything to compare them against online or in the stores. I felt sort of lucky to find this National Aircraft company. I don't know of any other manufacturer that sells pre-drilled chimes in different sizes at all anywhere. I hung them onto a small wooden birdhouse.

Dritz Sewing Machine Lil' Stitch Mini Cordless

Customer Ratings:

We bought this sewing machine simply because it is cheap, and we needed something for a quick fix, not long term use. I did not bother to read any reviews before hand. What we found out is that there is a problem with the gearing, and the thread does not feed correctly. As a result, the thread constantly breaks while attempting to sew. Aside from that, the light is weak, the foot pedal malfunctions, and it's just a piece of junk. Save yourself the headache and spend more money on something better.

The design is beautiful but the picture does not match what is in the kit. The floss is good but the picture shows a white, cream or ivory colored aida cloth but what you get is a light blue one in the kit. Very wrong for the picture and that's the reason why I gave it four stars.

Going to have to go and buy a white Aida cloth as I do not believe it will look as good on the blue.

Scissors split in "half" after 20 minutes of use. Handles also snapped apart. Blades are good but the rest of the scissors aren't. Stick with Fiskars!

Swingline SmartCut EasyBlade Plus Rotary Paper Trimmer, 12 Inch

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $94.76
Sale Price: $43.99
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've been wanting to try a rotary paper cutter for quite a few years due to straight blade cutters' propensity to cut crooked. Here are my take on the cutters' pros and cons.

PROS:

* Safe I can't even imagine a way to cut yourself using this cutter.

* The blade's fully enclosed, and you aren't even exposed during blade changes.

* Good for small numbers of sheets.

* Straight cuts for photos.

* Compact.

* Light weight.

* Clamp works well.

CONS:

* Clamp you may forget to set prior to cutting.

* Paper insertion hard to insert more than several sheets under the guide (even with the clamp up).

* Paper insertion difficult to insert folded sheets.

* Must remember to press the spring loaded cutting wheel down throughout the entire cutting stroke.

* Light weight...not likely to last decades under heavy use.

* Hard to use the matte scale to do 1/2 cuts (i.e., cutting paper to 1/2 its original width, which I seem to do a lot).

* Have to replace worn cutting wheels at $15-17 each.

* Have to replace or flip worn cutting matte.

Would I buy again? Only if I wanted to trim photos precisely or I had kids I wanted to protect from cuts. Also would be great for scrap booking.

Apoxie Sculpt 1 Lb. Black

Customer Ratings:

I have never used this or any modeling/sculpting clays before but this worked well out of the box just as expected. It provided me plenty of time to mold what I wanted and dried without drooping, cracking, etc. I was able to use water to smooth out the surfaces quite well. Cleanup was messy so I highly recommend gloves but obviously that's difficult if you're sculpting something with any level of detail. I only rated it 4 starts instead of 5 simply due to price. But, high quality and you get what you pay for. I'd purchase it again.

P.S. I formed a cup holder for my Maserati a bit bulky but like that I could sandow down the finished product and build over a floral foam core!

Making Memories Paper Trimmer, 12 Inch-by-12 Inch, Pink

Customer Ratings:

I purchased the black making memories paper trimmer 4 years ago and it worked perfectly. Just recently the blade needed sharpening so I ordered new blades. In the mean time, I purchased the pink one. This is my favorite trimmer out of all of the trimmers I have used. The new one did have an annoying squeak when I first used it but there is a simple fix: simply rub wax paper on the metal bar the blade glides over and the squeaking disappears. The grid has printed templates that are easy to read. The magnetic ruler comes in handy for marking when trimming duplicate cuts. The company has great customer service. New blades can be purchased even though the blade itself is self-sharpening. After 4 years I would expect to purchase a new blade. I like that it folds up as I have a small craft space. I have a larger Friskars trimmer that I hide in the closet and I always end up grabbing the MM trimmer instead due to space. It is my favorite! Now I keep one in my craft bag for the nights I have art class and the other in my craft room. This is an excellent trimmer. Paper cuts are smooth and even every time.

Had good experience with Findingking before so, ordered the second item.

The description was wrong on Amazon.com. The description read that it was silver plated but, the actual product was nickel plated. Right now, it shows correctly. Besides the store sent half the order first and upon contacting them with the order number resolved it and send the second packet as well.

I was disappointed because the description read Silver plated but the product was not.

Carl 12200 Bidex Professional 10-Sheet Rotary Trimmer, Metal

A basic paper cutter, I have found so many uses for this! It cuts through several pieces of paper at once maybe 10 sheets, and the rotary blade is precise and much safer than the guillotine style. I use it to cut photos I've printed from the computer, school projects, cutting strips for paper chains, cutting paper for crafts, cutting recipes to fit into my recipe box, etc. It's small enough to store easily too and even to bring it with me if I'm crafting away from home.

Reliable MSK-588 Portable Blindstitch Sewing Machine

Customer Ratings:

I had learned on industrial machines back in design school, but when I opened my business, portable industrial machines were not yet available and I couldn't afford thousands for a stand alone hemmer. When Babylock introduced their home-model I purchased it gladly. I was content for many years. It was easy and quick, but the stitches were obvious because of the straight needle, no matter what the depth level. It was a pretty machine, had a good long life, but was no power house.

When it came time to retire it, I researched the now portable industrial hemming machines. It was a toss-up between this one and the Tac-Sew. The reviews swayed me towards the Reliable. (that, and the price) It was everything stated and more! It is not as quick to thread as my BabyLock, but it isn't as slow either! I have to learn to control the speed! It is a compact, tight, and efficient work horse, a solid piece of machinery. The stitches are beautiful and I can alter the depth easily. Changing the frequency/stitch length is more of a challenge as you need to remove a plate on the side to access the dial. Switching from the easy-to-control flat work surface of the Babylock to the clamp and curved needle was all about practice and control, but the results are worth it. The threading, needle changing, and final stitch-lock position are not hard to master. The curved needle makes all the difference in invisibility. I highly recommend it.

Singer Tiny Serger Overedging Machine

Customer Ratings:

Just bought one of these little machines (used) and was not expecting much. In fact, I thought for sure I was going to regret the $45 I spent on it.

But, after a few tweaks here and there, I was able to thread the machine ~NOT as hard as I kept hearing everyone say

I thought it would take me hours to figure it out and it only took 10 minutes!

I plugged it in and starting sewing immediately!

It is a really nice small size and can sit on my sewing table without taking up a ton of the space.

I will be using it to make tiny doll clothing, so the fact that it does not come with a "cutter"

is not a problem as doll clothes use 1/4" seam anyway.

Definitely worth the $45 dollars!
