Merry Christmas! Jesus is the reason for the season
The micro wood clamps are the absolute best. I had to make a repair to an extremely tiny ivory statue and the repair needed to be held in place for 10-20 minutes. Without these clamps the repair would have been impossible. They worked like a charm.
Great ideas. Love what we saw of your craft workspace also. Merry Christmas to you and your fsmily
I was blessed my son got me the surebonder cordless glue gun, I already have the battery from my ryobi lawn mower win/win
Name brushes of paint brushes and miter shears?? I know u mean well, but you left out all the important info! I had to STOP watching.
Excellent video thanks !
FYI Fiskars has a lifetime guarantee. They have replaced 2 trimmers for me. So worth it.
One of my 1st times watching ur channel, I ordered the paint tent! I love it! I bought a turn table too!😁 Now I just need to add a piece of wood to mine, like yours!😊❤️ I have the Surebonder detailed glue gun, I love that, too! I have the ladybug vacuum, so cute & does a great job! My husband bought me a mini vacuum for my craft room. It’s shaped like a standard heat gun. It is pretty neat! I own several wood clamps! They are definitely a must!😊 I want to invest in the mini Easy Press. I have the Easy Press 2! I love it! I have the cropadile, too.
I don’t know if you’ve tried it but the Ott light is one of the best that you could buy I don’t know if there’s anything better now but I’ve been crafting for about 30 years probably more and the Ott light was always the one that you had to have
Where do you get the silicone mats? The surebonder ones??
Excellent
Thanks for sharing your favorite tools!! I just retired and I’m going to start crafting more. I have been wondering what must haves I should get (especially the cricut) and now I know! Thanks again!
Great list!
I have most of them and totally agree.
I need to get a sure bonder mat, and thanks for the washing machine tip!
Can’t craft without my exacto knife, or tweezers!
Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄❤️
I’m usually skeptical for these kinds of videos but I literally want to buy all of the tools. Thank you for making it!
Thank you
My Craftsman miter shears do not have the metal piece to make angle cuts. Surely it was supposed to have this.
I have my Dremel hanging from a ceiling hook with the Flex Shaft Attachment that I use for everything. The small size and light weight gives more accuracy than the heavy Dremel.
Great suggestions!
My favorite tool is my mini chop saw.
Just got the miter shears for my birthday earlier this month, but was looking last night for a list like this because the whole family wants to know what I want for Christmas …perfect timing! You’ve completed my list: Tinsnips, SureBonder mats, dremel, and spray tent…Thank you X3🤗❤🙏🏾
Fun! These look like great tools.
the filming lights link takes you to Tim Holtz scissors.
Great video. Really enjoyed.
Great video! I wasn’t familiar with some of the tools so thank you! Good tips and tricks too! Hoping Santa will bring me a few.
There’s some nice craft tools but not everybody can spend the expenses a little less expensive tools would be great
This is the 1st of this channel’s videos I’ve seen. Won’t be the last.
Ott lights are great for crafting but not cheap either. Costco has one for 35.00 I think.
This is a fantastic and very helpful list.. Thanks for the ideas!
This is amazing!! My wish list has grown… thank you
I bought those Miter Shears from Amazon they are worthless won’t cut anything since im a crafter though the would help cutting my popsicle sticks ect. Who ever thinking about buying them think about it twice. She makes it look so easy cutting sticks LOL
My puppy loves chewing plastic handles. I misplaced a small pair of scissors and a magnifying glass. I found them, badly damaged, when I heard her chomping. She will sneak them off my lap or table–right next to me!
Neat little vacuum! What a great way to remove that universal bane of crafters, the stuff that gets into everything… GLITTER!
A fellow crafter calls the stuff "craft herpes".
I made candles that I used dollar tree glass stars embedded on the outside, then dipped the outside with colored wax with very fine iridescent glitter, carefully scraping that wax off the glass stars so they were like little windows. They look so pretty when lit, but I’ll never get that glitter out of my dining table! (totally worth it though).
Thank you! I needed a craft tool list to send to everyone and now I have a video! 🤭🤣
Thank you! My Christmas list just grew!😂 There are so many tools out there it is really helpful to know what the experts are using, and not using! Wouldn’t it be great if the silicon mats had measurements on it?
My most watched video from any DIY you-tuber out there. Thank you for sharing.
Great list!👍🏻
I think I just might need to subscribe to your channel.🤔
Yep! Done!🙂
Thank you so much. You helped me narrow down what I actually need for the projects I want to do.Also, how long do you keep your spray paint cans once you open them?
I have the spray paint can gun and it doesn’t work well at all after 6 months and I am part time crafter. I do think the concept is brilliant and will try a not so expensive brand next so I can have multiple of them. I was attaching vinyl to Christmas decorations and needed good lighting so I took my hubbys battery operated makita work lamp and it’s my go to now. In fact he took the idea when adjusting watch straps at Christmas.
I love my mini heat press. It’s great for sewing.
What was the brand of the paint brushes? I would like to get a set. Thank you!
I am still learning but I have a lot of Ryobi tools that we had caught on sale and I use my husbands as well
I think that I have most everything that you have shown plus a few more. I love my Ryobi glue gun. It goes with all of my other Ryobi Tools. I also have other glue guns. I do not have the miter shears because I have 2 sizes of miter saws, including one small one from Ryobi that works with the same batteries. I have multiple Dremel and other brands of rotary tools. I actually love the mini one from Harbor Freight that is very small (fits in a small cosmetic pouch) and way under $10 dollars if you catch it on sale. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Thanks for the post.
Great list! One of my favorite tools is the Gator micro zip sander. I also got a few of the sunbeam gooseneck lamps from dollar tree recently. Great inexpensive choice for bright light when youre doing close up work. Question for you about the miter shears. I have a pair but I have trouble using them to cut anything thing, like a single Popsicle stick. Am I doing something wrong or are they just meant for thicker pieces? Thanks!
I have a favorite lamp. I knew what I wanted, but I didn’t know where to find it. Low and behold, I found it at IKEA for $8.00. It clamps to my table and adjusts in many ways.
I put my silicone mats in the washer also!
I love Ott lights, too–even found bulbs for my ceiling fixtures in my studio! But I also needed good clamp-on lights for my large work table (leather work & fabric sewing), and I really love the ones by PHIVE that I’ve had for a couple years now–adjustable temp/color, brightness, and very well made and easy to position & they hold that position until you move it (unlike so many).
Check the desciption for a link to all the tools mentioned.

Good tips but if on a septic don’t think I would was the silicone mats in the washer. not good for it. Oh gotta get hubby the spray can handle
Omg, I just can’t believe 😳that I truly love you and I really truly love your videos on the different types of products that you really need for your projects that you are doing. If I never look at another video again I got all my information from a wonderful video of all time is this one . The only thing I can’t afford is a circuit. I can’t believe how much they are but I hope to get one before I lose 😔my mind to SENiAL, HA,HA, but I am getting up there in age and I am getting arthritis so bad in my hands that I am getting scared to get any older and I can’t believe 😢that what I am going through by aging a few years and what I am dealing with. 😢 But I just wanted you to know that your video is one of the best 100 hundred 💯 the best one ❤I would recommend everyone who is a true crafters or just starting out should watch your video first and then start looking for these products and get them, ( if you can’t afford them items) 😀start purchasing them one at a time because they are the best even though I have just have a few of these items and I have been doing crafts quite a while but I am going out and start buying the items you recommend for crafting but it’s going to be a while before I get a circuit. I 💕just want to THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LET ME AND OTHERS KNOW WHAT products that you really think will help us out if we been crafting for years or just starting out . The 💕best advice 👌for so many people.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR IDEAS TO CRAFTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD 🌎🙏
LOVE YOU FROM DUNMORE, PENNSYLVANIA. THE HOME TOWN OF OUR SENIAL PRESIDENT BIDEN .
OttLites, They are great for sewing, but also great for crafting. You can get them as desk or floor lamps. They show the true color of the item.
