Helpful items to have when creating
If you are at all crafty you know all about the incredible pull there is toward places like Hobby Lobby, Micheal's and JoAnn. It's like the Toys R Us, for mom's and Grandma's. A paradise of just about anything you could want or need to create really beautiful projects. Trust me....I know! I am guilty! So, you may or may not already have some of these items I am going to suggest in your stash. This list is by far not everything that you may, or may not need. It's just meant as a helpful list of suggestions for things I have found to be very helpful in my many mousey craft projects. These are just general helpful items to have at your fingertips. But other projects may require more specialized supplies and tools.
Please note: I may add to this list as I think of more helpful items to have in your stash.
a hand saw - perfect for cutting paint sticks, dowels, craft sticks, etc.
a small miter box - a must have if you have a hand saw!
a glue gun and glue sticks
paint stir sticks
craft sticks - these come in a variety of sizes and can be helpful to have in your bag of tricks
wooden dowels - also handy to have in various sizes
Mod Podge
wood glue
double sided tape
scissors
tweezers
hemostats - perfect for holding things when your fingers just wont fit
toothpicks - great for applying glue in small places amongst lots of other uses
craft paints
chalk paint
paint brushes
sponge applicators
mounting tape - great for sticking art work onto walls
fabric scraps
yarn
scrapbook paper
felt and sticky back felt
a really good task light
a magnifying lamp
baby wipes - one of the handiest things to have. Perfect for little messes and wiping off your sticky fingers.
craft knife - like an exacto knife..but I have found that I much prefer the Cricut craft knife. It's much more comfortable to hold and I feel like I have better control with this one.
