The magic 8 tools to being successful at fixing your messes!

Some basic items that you are going to need...

Please note that you will not need these for all projects,but they are just good to have around.Just in case.They are good for slip-ups or mistakes.

1.Glue Gun~It can fix any of your problems.It's the ultimate crafting tool. All you have to do is plug in and squirt.~Good to have around for breakage,tears, and creating sculptures!

2.Magazine/Newspaper~In general, you can do anything with this. You can cut it up and create something new. Also rolling and folding is fun too!

3.Elmer's Glue~Be original. You decide what to do with it.

4.Nail Polish~ It's the ultimate tool to making your nails look like you went to the salon. And make sure to always...always....always have clear base/top coat to seal the deal or else you will end up with a chipped mani/pedi and that is never good! If your a person who doesn't like nail polish that's cool. Just skip this item please.

5.Tape~OH MY GOSH! Tape is awesome and no...not for it's ability to tape stuff together. It is like laminating something. Clear Scotch packing tape makes it so easy to foe laminate something without having the trouble of going to and Fedex Kinkos and paying a ridiculous amount to laminate 1 piece of paper. Also, duck tape! Don't you forget about duct tape! It is an incredibly awesome tape that is not your everyday tape. It uses strong thread with sticky stuff to mend items. Recently, my art table has been broken and it could not hold anything without collapsing. I discovered it was because of a small crack. I fixed this by wrapping duck tape around the crack tightly and it worked!+

6.Paper~I don't even have to tell you. This one just describes it's self. Where there is a piece of paper, a pencil follows. Always...even in the next room over. ( I really hope you got that because that was said so I don't have to put the obvious on the list.)

7.Baking Ingredients~Flour, Water, Sugar, Milk, Eggs, Confectioners Sugar  etc...,etc...(varies on the recipe)

8.Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust~Remember! Have faith in yourself and in your art. If you don't like it don't be mad get glad!


Feel free to add your own crafting tools to this list if thought necessary. These are just MY basics that I thought YOU could think useful. And if they aren't make your own list. Again please note that you will need more or less tools while doing a certain project. Some will be harder to find. I hoped you enjoyed my insights on my Magic 8 Tools. Thanks For Reading!

Happy Crafting!
