Miniature Masters, Assemble! Showcase Your Tiny, Intricately Crafted Botanicals In This Charming DIY Miniature Greenhouse

Review: "This was a really fun project that forces you to take your time. Based on other reviews I purchased a turbo drying glue pen and a craft kit with tweezers and an exacto knife which I really couldn’t have done this without. You also need a millimeter ruler (I printed one out). It’s really important to measure everything carefully because they don’t give you much extra in terms of supplies." - saraj88

Bring Your Designs To Life With Pinpoint Accuracy Using This Useful Tracing Box

Review: "No hesitation on giving this 5 stars. I recently got back into shooting film. This unit is great for viewing negatives. Super bright! Light weight. Portable. Easy to operate on/off and brightness levels. Can hold two sheets of negatives side by side. Love the rubberized feet so it doesn't slide around on the table. Well packaged. Seems solid enough, but would still want to handle it with care. Highly recommended!" - skookum

Review: "After about 24 hours, I discovered I could download the drivers for my computer and WOW. I was able to set custom shortcut keys on the tablet, set custom values for the buttons on the pen tool, adjust the pen sensitivity to the perfect “feel” for me, and set the screen size on the tablet to match the size of the screen on my iMac. I’m very, very impressed. I can’t tell any difference in this product versus my previous Wacom products. My son is enjoying practicing drawing with it at the moment. 😊" - kmcclure

Review: "The sunprint brand cyanotype sun printing paper is the best paper product available for sun prints.

It also consistently provides a good quality of print and a rich blue color.

The lovely design on the top is left uncolored so that you can fill in the color to personalize the flower press." - Amanda D
