Since many people are still stuck inside, kids whining that there’s nothing to do, and you’ve memorized most of what’s on Netflix and Hulu, I thought I’d do a crafts list of what essentials to have on hand for a basic crafts kit. Sooooo, here’s the list…

  • 1. Heat gun
  • 2. Tacky glue
  • 3. Scissors
  • 4. Paint brushes/foam brushes
  • 5. Paper of different kinds
  • 6. Assorted paints, markers, crayons, etc.
  • 7. Popsicle sticks
  • 8. Rotary cutter
  • 9. Self healing cutting mat
  • 10. Fabric/felt
  • 11. Yarn/threads/string
  • 12. Assorted needles
  • 13. Glitter (it is, after all, ALL about the bling! )
  • 14. Stapler and staples
  • 15. Shoe boxes to keep projects

This is a basic list and, of course, supplies and tools for a particular craft has its own inherent list of necessities. The above list is a good start and offers you the ability to engage in several craft endeavors. Pinterest, MeWe, Indulgy, and several other online sites are loaded with ideas. Hope this is a help for beginners/ newcomers…..happy crafting!
