I love every project I use this crackle on! It never gets old to wait for the effect to happen!

I love how thin this product is. It allows you to build the intensity of the color shift effect. My favorite is the blue-viilet shift on dragonfly wings!

This item is essentially just clear acrylic with so few flecks of iridescent color that you can count them. The result is nothing remotely similar to the very pretty label.

This stocking is very cute, but I had a few issues. First, the blue felt portion was so thin I was afraid I might tear it. You could see through it in places. Second, I ran out of two colors of thread and had to go purchase more. Third, my kit did not come with needles. Fourth, I ran out of sequins and had to rob some from another kit. I’ve been making these kits for years, and I know how to use the thread so I have very little waste. The same with the sequins. Very few end up on the floor. That being said, I was not happy with the fact I didn’t have enough product and had to purchase more, nor was I impressed with the quality of the felt in this kit. In my opinion, the Bucilla felt kits have lost some of their quality over kits I have purchased in the past. This is the third kit this year that was either missing pieces (like needles), or did not have enough product to finish them.

I’ve made many of these felt stockings over the years. Unfortunately, this stocking had just enough bronze/brown sequins to do the stocking outline. I didn’t have enough to do the inside of the two paws. If you think it’s easy to find a 5mm bronze sequin, think again. I had to purchase the only option on Amazon. I paid nearly $9.00 for a small bag, which I have been waiting over two weeks to receive. I am extremely disappointed that I didn’t receive enough materials to finish this stocking.

I was able to match the color on a wooden mirror purchased years ago from J C Penney. I found this line is the most genuine gold colors you will find.

Used three coats in wood then put outside in direct sun for 5 hours. There was barely any glow at all. Very disappointing. The other colors range from barely glowing to no glow

Although customer service can be contacted for additional supplies, the point still is that the kit was lacking and I will think twice about ordering again.

Purple Prism is my absolute favorite of all the Extreme Glitter colors, but I haven’t been able to find it in forever. Has it been discontinued, and if so, why?

Over the years I have used numerous chalk board paint. If I needed it I would buy what was available regardless of brand. Today is the day I found a brand that I will avoid. When wiping off chalk designs the paint comes off with it. It does this for both wet and dry erase. Also comes off why using liquid chalk pens.

You have MANY people asking you to bring these back. Do you have any plans on restocking these? Why would you get rid of a product that has 4.9 star rating?

I have been experimenting with this product and have discovered a way to get more consistent and beautiful results. After several failed attempts using it over various painted surfaces, I decided to try adding a base coat of Mod Podge to my project surface and let it dry for about 10 minutes. Not thick, not thin - just a nice coat of the Mod Podge. Then I used the Plaid one step crackle on top of that. I let it dry and cure naturally using no heat or fans for about two hours. The results are breathtaking. The printed paper surface I did this on actually looks like crackled old porcelain. So my personal tip is - paint a base coat with the Mod Podge first :)

It appears to be missing some washer and a nut, and the hour and second hand are not sitting on the shaft as they should be.

I purchased four of these kits. None of the kits contained enough sequins, beads or ric-rac to complete the projects. First time in 40 years of working Bucilla brand kits I have not had enough supplies.

J'utilise ce produit depuis plus de 5 ans. Il est trés résistant et de consistance parfaite. En plus, il sèche rapidement. C'est le meilleur produit d'imitation de plomb.

I used it on a terra cotta pot, it covered perfectly. I love it
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
