Craft Products I Don't Love (Bottom 5)

 Hey Y'all!

I tend to share more craft related items I do like, or am just trying out, so today I thought I'd share the items I DON'T love. Let me know in the comment section below the items you aren't loving right now.

I decided to limit this to my bottom 5:

(No particular order.)

1) Rose Art Supplies~

It's not just the crayons. Everything I've tried from the brand is a flop. There is a reason their products are so cheap. Do yourself a favor and buy just about any other brand for a more quality product.

The crayons are too waxy to have any color, the pencils are dull and break exceptionally easily, and the glue has issues as well.

2) American Crafts Vinyl~

This is the most difficult vinyl I've ever attempted to work with. About the only thing it sticks to is itself, and it's difficult to get to cut correctly. It's way to expensive to preform so poorly.

3) Inc Color Point Colored Mechanical Pencils~

The color is nice on each of these, but the flat point makes them rather difficult to color with. It looks like they have an eraser built in, but they don't.

4) Studio G Ink~

The reason I don't like this brand is that the ink isn't very true to color, and tends to dry up rather quickly. The little cases (packaging) make it difficult to ink up most stamps. The metallic inks are the worst, and tend to bleed, leaving a somewhat stamped shape resembling a blob more than the intended stamps image.

5) Glue Sticks~

This one isn't brand specific, and maybe it's user error, but I've not found a glue stick I like. They all seem to never dry down enough for me, the purple one never dries clear, and you can see through the paper. It never lays as flat as I think it should, it always seems a bit lumpy. Much prefer an ATG.

 

Are any of these your favorite? Tell me why in the comments! Let me know your least favorites too.

Have a great day,
