Supplies Every Crafter Needs

There are some things in the crafting world that we cannot get by without. While most projects don’t require these tools every time, it is good to have them when the time comes. These don’t always require you to go out and make huge purchases, most of the time these items are already hanging around your home. Let’s break it down into groups:

Things You Probably Have Around Your Home:

Corks from wine bottles (If you need some, I have plenty.)

Scrap paper

Mason jars (Everyone has had that horrible jam from the lady down the street.)

Cloth from old pieces of clothing

Old buttons

Old decorations to take a part

Duck Tape

Things You MIGHT Need to Buy:

Glue Gun

Thread

Needles

Sewing Machine

Paint (I’m sure there are a few dried out bottles somewhere that you can get creative with.)

Ribbon

New fabric (I don’t think I need to explain why old worn fabric isn’t always appropriate.)

Things You Will Always Need:

Canvas Boards

Beads

Pieces of wood

Hooks (To hang your creations or have them ready to hang for others.)

Frames

Good paint brushes

Some good tunes to keep your ears busy (Unless you are using this time as bonding!)

Sand Paper

Good pair of scissors (Not the ones you used to cut the packaging of the chicken you cooked last week.)

Don’t forget to get creative with this material! Reusing old decorations or taking pieces of them to add to a new creation! Go to the sale rack and pick out a piece of fabric you like instead of getting stuck in the fabric store for hours! Stuff like this is always useful! Don’t be afraid to take chances!
