DIY Tools and Necessities

Whenever the moment arises that you just HAVE to make something, its always best to be prepared. Here are a few of my favorite and very necessary tools:


#1. Scissors 
(duh, right?!)
My lovely family always misplace my craft scissors. So, I have a special pair for them and for myself. Keep them in a hidden but unforgettable place!


#2. Exacto knives
(Great for those detailed cut outs)
Buying exacto knives can be a pain, but they last a life time! I've used them for things they probably shouldn't be used for and they still work wonders.

#3. Duct Tape
(Not exclusive for redneck projects)
So many of my projects include duct tape, its ridiculous. I freak out when I don't have my duct tape!

#4. Glue
Us DIYers always need our glues! Fabric glue, hot glue, elmer's glue…all glue is needed glue.

#5. Paint and paint brushes
Paint is always nice to have on hand. Acrylic paint is cheap, handy, and easily accessible. You can get the little bottles at walmart :)
Paint brushes of all kinds! I cannot paint to save my life, but my poor attempts are glorified by the brushes I use.


These 5 things are what make my little crafty heart thrive! Without them, I am useless.



I have been editing a craft video thats almost a year old (hehe) so, hopefully I can get that posted to my youtube AND my blog.
