A computer

This might sound a little backhanded, but a computer in your crafting area could come in handy, especially if you’ve turned your hobby into a business. After a while, you may feel a little bored or uninspired when it comes to creating things, and having a computer handy to look up new and interesting crafts with instruction videos will definitely come in handy. If you’re not sure where to look, a great place to start is Pinterest. Crafties like yourself upload their creations and ideas, including methods to share with the world!

Vinyl cutting machine

There’s plenty of occasions where you might use vinyl for crafting such as creating cards, tokens of thanks, or even gifts for loved ones. However, cutting vinyl intricately isn’t always the easiest thing to do. That’s why you should get your hands on a vinyl cutting machine. Not only will it make your life easier, but it will free up so much more time for other crafts. If you’re not sure on how to use your vinyl cutting machine, you can find help and tips here: www.vinylcuttingmachineguide.com.

Washi tape runner

One of the biggest parts of creating something is binding it all together, and we know how tricky that can be at times. However, with a washi take runner, you can easily glide your adhesive in a precise and straight line so that your end product looks better than ever before. They work and look a lot like Tipp-ex mice, distributing an even amount of adhesive so that you don’t use too much or too little.

Heat resistant mat

Sometimes you’ll find yourself using tools that create heat for your crafts such as a hot glue gun or a fusing tool, and these are both great ways of helping bind things together. However, the heat can damage your work surfaces if left unattended and can be a fire hazard. Heat resistant mats are inexpensive and a definite must-have for your craft corner in 2019.

One extra bonus

Finally, if you’re looking for a little help to get going with your crafting hobby or business, then you’ll probably be looking for an all-in-one kit. Well, we’ve got you covered there. This starter crafting kit by We R Memory Keepers is a fantastic and inexpensive way of getting yourself into the crafting scene. All you need now is time, patience, and plenty of people to share your crafts with!
