Every crafter has their favorite supplies, I have a list of my top 10 I wanted to share. I get a lot of questions on what I use so here is the list!

Here are my Top 10! For more supplies you can check out our Amazon Store

#10- Felt Balls – These can be used for so many projects! You can make garland with it or add it to a sign to make it cuter. I love using them as noses for my gnomes. You can find them on ETSY and of course Amazon carries similar ones too.

 

Wooden Beads- I love everything about these! From the way they feel to all the amazing projects you can use them for. If you are looking for a farmhouse feel, wooden beads are a must. This is the brand I use Wooden Beads

Did you know you could also dye them? I show you how I dyed them HERE

 

#9-Finger Protectors- I am notorious for burning myself with my glue gun, so these are a must have. The problem I had was that they didn’t stay on my finger, so I invented the “fake” finger! 🙂 Yes Shark Tank here I come lol. I just took 2 protectors and glued them to a dowel; I use this hack all the time!

I found these cute pink ones HERE.

#8- Jute- There are so many uses for jute. You can use it to string beads, use it has a sign hanger, and you can also use it to tie your bows together!

You can definitely find jute in most craft store, but you know I love Amazon so I found some  HERE

#7- Cutting Mat- I have this on my desk to protect it. This one is very durable and wipes clean. I was lucky to find one at a garage sale, however I found one similar HERE

#6-Mini Craft Iron- I discovered this through some other crafters I watch. It is perfect to use when I decoupage paper to anything.  All I do is put down some mod podge, then lay parchment paper over the paper and iron it. Seriously it never leaves wrinkles ever! This cutie I purchased from Amazon

Here’s a project I did using it HERE

#5-Scissors- These are the best- they cut so smoothy! Mine obviously need to be cleaned a bit. 🙂 Here are Scissors I use

#4-Adhesive Spray -I’ve been told you can find this at Walmart and Amazon

I have used this for so many projects, here’s an example of a project I used it for: DIY SWEATER ORNAMENTS

#3- Wager Heat Gun & Embossing Heat Tool- The Wagner heat gun is used for larger projects, due to it getting very hot.  I have a scar to prove it, so please be careful.  I use the embossing heat tool for smaller projects, it gets less hot and dries project quickly as well. You can find the one I use HERE

We have seen some less expensive ones at Harbor Freight too.

The embossing dryer works just as well and lets off less heat. This one I use was very inexpensive found HERE

 

 

#2- Puppy Pads- I started using these last year.  I had a full box left over from when we moved from Illinois to Florida, we used them for our pets while traveling. One day I was looking for something to protect my table, I saw the puppy pads in the garage… and the light bulb went off.  I have not crafted without them since, clean up is a breeze! Dollar Tree carrys them or you can find them HERE

#1- Ryobi Glue Gun- This is by far my most used and favorite tool! I’m always asked about it on our Facebook Lives, this is a must have in every craft room. It is an investment but definitely worth every penny! 🙂 This beast as I like to call it came from HERE

I hop this list was helpful! You can find all the products listed here Top 10 Craft Supplies

Thank you for stopping by and happy DIYing!

Don’t forget to pin this for later!
