I'm considering one of these as a floating Halloween decoration, since the PVC versions from China are over $300. I'd like to paint it to look like the Moon, but the latex is probably too fragile. I'm wondering about using Hi Float with it, and I've also read where people used glycerin and talc on the inside to create an effect that looks like craters when illuminated from the inside. Thoughts, suggestions? I'm considering one of these as a floating Halloween decoration, since the PVC versions from China are over $300.

I painted the balloon with latex paint to use as a prop for a Dr. Seuss "Oh! The places you'll go" theme decoration. Was a little nervous but no problem what so ever. We suspended the inflated balloon from the hall ceiling with fishing line.

I was going to use as a floating campaign sign. Looked to me like latex paint would work. Did not go forward due to excessive cost to fill with helium.

Well it doesn't come with the fake blood, which made it much more dark, like a purple/black with dark red undertones. I'd say if you want it more realistic than maybe paint it? I had to otherwise it looked a bit too dark for me. The design of it though is pretty realistic.

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

Depends on what type of bracelets you are wanting to make. The monster Tail loom is mini but to me makes stronger and better designs. I love it. I also purchased a book at Wal-mart called MonsterTail Rubber Band Jewelry Project Book for $5. Also go to youtube and type in Monstertail loom designs and you can learn all kinds of awesome bracelets or necklaces. With the Rainbow loom you cant make longer bracelets with the monstertail you can make it as long as you want. It comes with the mini loom and a rainbow loom hook plus rubberbands. I use it now more than my other looming products. Hope this helps. Keep looming!!! Depends on what type of bracelets you are wanting to make.

I've been thinking about that a lot since I walked through it myself. First my grandson ran through it and blew it right off the rails. I managed to get it back working. Apparently, it was weakened, though, because I turned into it and pulled the screening right off the roller. You can buy appliques, but I don't think they will work well rolling up. The best thing would be to paint something on with a stencil. My wife doesn't want anything on it, as she likes it invisible. I'll let you know if I come up with an optimum solution. I haven't repaired it yet, so it is not high on my house to do list.

I have used it and, while you could reuse it if you were very, very careful, I don't think it would be worth it. I didn't like this product because of (1) the expense and (2) you can't line things up as easily as I'd like. I tend to buy the Cricut products first to have a baseline, then I start searching for something cheaper that will get the job done. I use Kittrich Rolled Adhesive Bookcover instead. It only costs $5.19 for 9 feet, so the savings are tremendous. It isn't completely clear, but it is easier to see through. Good luck finding what you like!

I just received them a few days ago and have not placed them out. I opened one and my impression was that they are well made. The globe seems to be thick and durable. the uper snowman figure seems to be make of hard plastic-like material. It appears to me that they are well made and durable. I did not get the impression they are cheaply made. I didn't inspect the metal frame they hang by. I hope this helps. The one I opened did not fall apart upon opening as described by the Vikki below. Don't yet know how well they light up when placed out in the sun.

I have the half-moon version. While I really like that table for my plants, one of which is pretty big. I wouldn't take the chance for anything as heavy or expensive as a TV. Might be an option with the round version.

Foil balloons have a much longer life span than latex balloons without anything extra. The foil balloons from my wedding lasted for over a month. I don't see how adding hi float to foil balloons would have a negative effect, but I also don't think you would notice any difference in the life span of the foil balloons.

honestly i wouldn't, it is really just stretched canvas with photograph printed onto the canvas, typical home decor. I think that it may not be sturdy enough. If you live somewhere moderate in climate year round and plan to have it on a covered patio that does not get to much sun (since it is not made for outdoors will almost defiantly fade in direct sun) and is not exposed to the elements, Maybe? But if you decide to do it, be prepared that you could spend the money and have it not last long. I have mine on a big wall in my living room and love it, I get complements all the time.

i have seen a video where a woman used this product like a resin. she covered her artwork on her bottlecaps. but the tedious process is going through the liquid, that has been placed on any surface, and going through it over and over to pop all the air bubbles. it is very time consuming. and I think it would be more costly to use it as a resin, depending on the thickness of it. youtube is a good place to watch videos of crafters using different products.

Thank you for your message. Due to the large size of the item, it is very difficult to find any cheap frames at, say, a big box store. I would imagine that the greatest part of the quote from a custom framing place involves the glass or plexi-glass component. I have had no reports from any of our recent customers who have attempted to get the poster framed, so I am not able to offer much advice. All I can suggest is that you do a search online. If you enter a keyword such as "poster frame" and search the available dimensions you may luck out and find something in your price range. Keep in mind also that, when dealing with such a large item, you should always wait to frame it until after you have received it and have had an opportunity to take your own exact measurements. The dimensions can be slightly off from what is stated on Amazon. This way, you will know exactly the size you are dealing with and be able to get a frame that will fit the item properly. One other suggestion that may serve your purposes and your budget: Some places (like Kinkos, for example) may offer lamination services. Laminating the poster should be, I should think, MUCH cheaper than framing and still provide a means to protect the poster from damage for several years. The only drawback obviously is that the lamination does not come off if you should ever need the poster in its original state. However, with the lamination, you can still roll the poster up for storage and moving purposes and easily rehang it. Please let me know if I can answer any further questions. Thanks Matt Bananaroad

I found nothing in the instruction regarding the material used to make the attachments. However using a high power magnifying glass I found PVC on at least three of the various attachments. They were also make in China. Hope you find this helpful.Donald Darling

Walmart has 1 for under 50 bucks. EBay has millions for less. It's just a standard camera mount. My Walmart generic one is fine and has tilt and pan which helps. The Moon is going to seem like it's blazing across the sky with the Skymaster! Very cool. Haven't seen any aliens yet, maybe some on the beach though. Scary stuff on the beach, better to keep your sees to the sky!

Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new.I have had a lot of compliments on it. I also put my street address on it and they are in goldtone numbers.I'm sure that it could be painted a different color although it is a PVC texture, so you would have to take it by a paint store and asked them what type of pay would stick to the texture of the PVC.I hope that your post turns out as well as mine, and hope that you get as many compliments as I have had about my post and light.By the way, I mounted my post over a 4 x 4 post to give it more strength which was a good idea.J Howell Jacksonville Florida Jac I have a New England arbors post light in my front yard and the color is white, it has been there for about three years and it still looks like new.I have had a lot of compliments on it.

I have the bamboo model in my office for kids (gets lots of use) and my boy has a painted wooden one at home. With the laminated bamboo & varnish ball, there is no paint to scratch off, and so it looks better.
