A curved upholstery needle is also a good addition to your Crafter’s Toolbox. To keep track of your needles, cut a piece of felt to coordinate with your decor and tack/hang it on the wall above your desk or crafting table to hold your needles. To keep your needles sharp, cut 2 pieces of the desired felt or fabric. Insert some steel wool (NOT the soapy kind) and sew or glue together. Then hang above your desk or crafting table. Now your needles are always in sight and available when you are ready to use them. 💝
I love, love, love my Crop-a-dial too. I'm so glad to see you back since last year. I was worried that you or your kiddos were under the weather since it had been so long since I've seen your video. I was really concerned. Glad you're back!
Thank you Luana! My kids had an extra long winter break and we did all take turns getting sick on top of that. Thankfully, now everyone is healthy and we are back to our routines. Which means... I get to craft and work on videos. 🙌🏻💕
Amazing 22 Crafting Tools Must Have For 2022 Girl! I owned 9 of the products you showed. My Crop A Dile is about 11 or 12 years old now. Love my SureBonder Products, need to invest in that Stapler and a few other items you showed. 🤩🤩🤩
I thought about it! But, I know everyone had their list and I didn't want to add to it, or stress anyone out by them thinking they needed all of this at once. By waiting, people can use gift cards, bdays, mother's day... instead.
Thank you for this helpful video . I ordered needles/cases, tent, stapler and mini vacuum. I had a few of the other tools you recommended. Next month I'll get the heat gun!
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy I use on faux leather projects. For example I made backpack hand sanitizer holders for my grandkids. I have also used it on paper projects and on fabric I used on DIY’s as an accent.
I know this video is a couple months old ... however, I just found it yesterday (am a new subscriber). Anyway, I bought some of the tools you recommended ... thank you. My point though 🙂 is that you mentioned the zip snips, which reminded me that I had a set hidden away that I've never used. Fast forward to today, where I pulled them out for a craft (to cut some foam board) and they worked better than imagined. Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your recommendations!
Your energy makes me smile!!! Thanks for sharing. I have most of those tools... except the miter sheets, they’ve been on my Amazon wish list for a while!
I should have mentioned that paper crafters would probably beneifit from the eyelet setter. That is when I used it too. I am kicking myself for not showing the Big Bite. I worried 3 would be too many 🤷🏻♀️💕
They are so much fun! I will tell you that if you are working with thicker pieces. Use the miter shears to score both sides before cutting and it will cut easier. 💕
Oh boy! I really need to get a crop a dial, and spray tent! I'd say my most go to item is my shure bonder glue gun! I need to add to my list a mini vacuum!! T4S, great seeing you! God Bless n be safe!! 👍😘😘
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy thank you. I care about my UA-camr's. You're welcome. I understand that. We're in the process of changing my Crohn's medicines. I've been on them since 2015.
I am finding there may always be adjusts and the need to be really in tune with your own body. I hope your new medication sets you in the right direction. I know it can frustrating. 💕
I have a 4 in 1 screwdriver and the clamps are a lifesaver! I need to pitch my 6 bad corded glue guns that leak and get a good surebonder model! Thanks for the list :)
What a great video! You have many tools that are not on typical lists and I really appreciate that. The zip snip looks awesome. We’re going to check that out. The paint tent! I need some new silicone mats and that’s a great recommendation. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Jen! Thank you for watching. 💕 The Zip Snips just make life easier. You will be shocked at all the things you find you start cutting with them. Also, if you use spary paint... the tent is just the BEST!!!
Jennifer I agree with your list except for the miter shears. They are hard to use. They hurt my hands when I even try. They are just taking up room in my craft drawer. Great list
Great list Jennifer...I already fell in love with your paint tent and Courtney's ladybug vacuum😉 Y'all's videos are why I have a running UA-cam WishList on Amazon🤦🏾♀️Zip snip and USB lighter will definitely be on my mother's day list🤫❤🙏🏾
I think we all have gotten duds before. That is why I love sharing what tools I love and also why I love them ... so you know if a tool would be a good fit for you. 💕
Thank you so for sharing your experiences with these tools. This video has been so helpful. Have a few of items you critiqued and must start my wish list for birthdays and Christmas. 🥰
I just notice that the miter shears are currently out of stock. and the link just takes you to the blades. They have 2 other styles, but I haven't tried either of those yet to compare them. In the past Gartol restock pretty quickly. 💕
Glad to see you back. Thanks for the list of tools. Have most of them but the one that intrigued me most was the lighter. I’ve resorted to using matches because most lighter don’t work. The lighter and the Zip Snip tool are at the top of my list to purchase.
I have those razor/plastic blade tools. I actually took them apart and put them back together so on each one, the orange side is the plastic. That way I never open the wrong end.
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy Thank you. I'm always changing things to make life easier. I'm glad you like it. It is a really handy tool. the curved shape helps get the right angle over the old fashions all metal ones.
Thanks for the video. I have a lot of these tools already and can see the benefit to all the tools you showed. Off topic, love your tops. So pretty and matched your lipstick perfectly. :)
I love my mini attacher ( stapler) I use for stapling my ribbons together when making wreaths it uses Lil mini staples. My 3 yr old grandson loves using my ladybugs 🐞 vacuum, he always wants to clean my craft table for me! 😆 he's so cute!
I love my mini stapler too. Cute staples and so easy to handle. I may need to include that on another favorite tools list. I love that you grandson uses your ladybug. That is the cutest. 💕
I have 4 piece screwdriver, my uncle gave to me. He has since pass, I call it uncle Paul, lol. I love the surebonder Glue gun. I want to invest in a spray tent..thanks for sharing ♥️
Thanks so much! I'm a novice crafter looking for tools to move up to amateur status without having to hunt through my husband's tool stash for something that'll work. Your recommendations were really helpful - I've been so worried about buying junk that doesn't work.
I get not wanting to buy junk. No one wants to waste their money! My suggestion to you would be to start off with the tools you borrow from your husband the most. 💕
Great video. I can’t craft without my paper cutter (is that what it’s even called? Lol) and a good pair of tweezers. If you rinse your brushes that you’ve used with mod podge, in super hot (boiling, but not actively) water, it softens them right up!
Great list, Jennifer… I love my Miter Shears! The next 2 things I have on my ‘to buy list’ are the Silicon Mats & Spray tent… I tried 2 of the Sure Bonder glue guns from Hobby Lobby, returned both of them! Wasted more glue then I used, they dripped so bad.
I had the original detail sure-bonder, but I could not get glue out. In the trash it went! I bought the cordless mini details from Lynn Lily and I love it!
I’ve heard so much about the crop-a-dile and miter shears I’m definitely going to give them a try as well as the little Cricut tool pack. I’m so excited to really get into my crafting on a whole new level because I got a Cricut Explore Air 2 for Christmas 🎉🎉🎉! You know I’ll be watching for lots of inspiration 🥰!!
I really appreciate this video.. I've really been wanting one of those crop- a - dials.. or whatever it's called.. lol!! I think I'm definitely need to add that to my collection.. thanks.. 👍😁🤗
Thank you for this. I have many of these. Be careful using the plastic scraper. I was using it aggressively and the cap to the razor end came off and the razor cut me!
Thank you for posting thise supplies. Its been a while since I have been shopping for supplies. I love to bead, do crafts, sew, and make things. I need good scissors for cutting fabric. What do you recomend? I have pliers, small wire cutters, crimper, but its been a while since I have gone to shop for other items. Thanks for reminding me. I liked the rotary cutter. Years ago my daughter in law gave me rotary cutter and mat, the cutter wasn't sharp at all. Where can I get the rotary cutter, the iron, the stapler , the utility knife/ scraper? I want them. Thank you.
You can replace the blade on your rotary cutter. That may be all you need to do. If you do still want to replace your rotary cutter I suggestion is to pick on with the handle you like to grip. This is the one I have and love amzn.to/2Lq67PC These are some great fabric scissors amzn.to/3KXUj17
Gartol is the brand and it looks like they sold out temporarily of the exact ones I recommended. They do have 2 other simiar styles, but I personallly can't speak for them. I know they will restock, but not sure how long it will take. I do plan to try the other styles and compare them. 💕
My question is does the crop-a-dial and Miter shears take a lot of hand strength? I love my detail surrbonder also I use it just about all of the time.
The crop-a-dial doesn't require much hand strengh, but if you use thicker pieces of material with the miter shears... they can require a lot. Another option would be a mini electric crafters miter saw. I haven't used one myself... so I don't have one to recommend yet. 💕
I just ordered the miter shears, scissors screwdriver , needles and croc o dile . I want the fine tip glue gun but looking for cheaper version. The last sure bonder glue gun I bought only lasted 4 months.
It sounds like Christmas for you! I am shocked that your glue gun only lasted 4 months. Wow! I have never seen another cordless detail tip glue gun. They may have a patent on it. I wish I had another recommendation for you. 💕
I love to use heat gun on HOT setting to scorch wood with my vinyl stencil & scorch marker. I made a few Christmas gifts this year & they were a HUGE hit! Lucky me I have almost all of your tools but I think I need a better palm sander at some point. This year my hubby bought me a bunch of power tools & a tool chest for them…YIPPEE!!
Power tools... you are speaking my language. Love it!! My suggestion would be to use your current palm sander until it breaks or dies on you. Then, get a new one. Scorch markers are so much fun!! You can't post pictues here, but you can share on Instagram. I can also plan on doing a demo soon. 💕
Just watched you for the first time thank you for the craft tool recommendations Where did you buy your cordless glue gun, mini vacuum and miter shears, i am interested in buying them Would appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️ Pls
Hi Jennifer, you are the reason I own the Mitre Shears, Silicone mats, a cricut explore air 2, and a few others. Sadly I have wanted a surebonder mini glue gun and the fabric glue sticks, but they are not available in the uk 😩 Thanks for the fab list again, there are a few on there I need now 🤣 x
I hope you love everything as much as I do! I did not know that about SureBonder. I do know they are explanding in different stores. So maybe they will move outside of the US soon too. 💕
Hello Jennifer, I hope you & your family are doing well! 🙏❤ I have those small & large wood clamps! I love those scrapers...I will have to get those! I bought that paint tent a year ago cuz I saw it on your channel! I need to get those scissors too! I love that zip snip, really nice! I definitely will be purchasing those flat paint brushes! 😊 I been wanting those silicone pads as well! I have the lady bug vacuum too! Lol I love that lighter too! My husband bought me the 6 in 1 stapler from Amazon for Christmas that I wanted! 😁 I have not used it yet, I hope it works out well! 😊 I do have the Surebonder mini, detailed glue gun, I do not have the cordless one yet! Lol I have a mini iron but not the mini Easy press! Too funny...I really wanted the Cricut Maker 2...my daddy bought me the Cricut Maker 2 for Christmas in 2021, then the Cricut Explore 3 came out! 🙄 I could not exchange it so I have to settle for the Cricut Maker 2 which I'm sure is still great! 😊 I have the miter shears too! I have a crop-a-dile too! I have a large needle too, it is definitely useful! I love those needle cases, very nice! I have a palm sander that my girlfriend gave me, it has point in the front that is great for corners ect, I love it & use it all the time! My husband gave me a heat gun for Christmas! I can't wait to use it! I recently finished my craft room but still have to organize all of my stuff which is a lot! I probably use my palm sander, mod podge & my Waverly Chalk paint the most! As always Jennifer, thank you for sharing your favorite tools with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
It sounds like you had a great Christmas and are set and ready to go! The Maker is a GREAT machine. I am enjoying the smart vinyl, but it is not the end all be all. I don't feel like you settled. There is so much you can do with your machine. The most important would be to USE IT and have FUN! 💕
I did have a great Christmas, thank you so much Jennifer! I hope you & your family had a great Christmas as well! Thank you so much for your advice! I love you & your channel and look forward to your upcoming videos! 😍 I will definitely use my Cricut when my computer is up & running again! Thank you again Jennifer! 💓
This is a great list! I love my spray tent but can't for the life of me close the thing 50% of the time. lol I LOVE my miter shears... (technically they're my hubs). lol I've had my Crop-o-Dile since 2007, it's still working awesome. I really want the Big Bite.
It looks like I need to do a demo of closing the spray tent. It is one of those things that once you understand how to do it... it is super simple. Do you follow me on Instagram? That would be the easiest place for me to demo.
Just went to Amazon and purchased 3 of your suggestions. Can you give me more info on the glue gun? Maybe a model #. So many to choose from and would like to get the same one you have. Thanks for all the great suggestions!
I hope you love everything Debbie. The Glue Gun is Surebonder CL-195F Cordless/Corded Detail Tip 20W High Temp Mini Glue Gun. I just saw it is back in stock on Amazon amzn.to/36I7rT7
I bought the SureBonder Glue Gun and its been the worst the glue sticks are always getting stuck in it ... it currently has a glue stick stuck in it ... 😞 I had such high hopes for the surebonder glue gun 😞
I am so sorry you have not had the same experience I have had with the SureBonder glue gun. I will tell you I only use SureBonder glue sticks. I am not sure if that makes any difference. I have had my glue gun before it was even released to the public, and have never had an issue with it.
Great Question. Smart vinyl does NOT require at mat. That means you can do 2 things:1. Cut several designs without stoping (like I did for the Team Shirts) and 2. You cut longer designs. The one downside is that smart vinly is still very expensive and there is not any current off brands making it that I am aware of.

Those zip snips would be a blessing for those of us with hand problems!

Thank you Karyn! I appreciate you always watching and supporting me! 💕
Musts for me are my miter box, hacksaw, good paper cutter, x-acto knife and/or box cutter.
100% Agree w/ the desktop vacuum!!! I have the exact same one you do and use it ALL.THE.TIME. Game changer!
Who would have thought something so small would be so great!

I have used the zip snip tool for years to do mesh wreaths! Greatest thing ever 👌
Using it for mesh wreaths is brillant! They really are the greatest thing ever! 💕
Thank you for this helpful video . I ordered needles/cases, tent, stapler and mini vacuum. I had a few of the other tools you recommended. Next month I'll get the heat gun!
I love my crop-a-dial and my miter shears. I do use the grommet portion occasionally but mostly it’s a great hole punch! Thanks so much for the info
My question to you is... what do you use the grommet part on? Do you scrapbook or make cards?
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy I use on faux leather projects. For example I made backpack hand sanitizer holders for my grandkids. I have also used it on paper projects and on fabric I used on DIY’s as an accent.

Loved your video and all the tools. I have some but I need to get the ones I don’t have. I also like that you give the reasons why you prefer them.
Thank you Lety! I appreciate you watching. 💕
I finally got those miter shears for Christmas!
They are so much fun! I will tell you that if you are working with thicker pieces. Use the miter shears to score both sides before cutting and it will cut easier. 💕
Love my zip snip. We get hundreds of boxes and love these to cut bigger boxes.
They are so good! My 9 year old enjoys cutting boxes with them too! 😂💕
Love that top

The crop-a-dial doesn't require much hand strengh, but if you use thicker pieces of material with the miter shears... they can require a lot. Another option would be a mini electric crafters miter saw. I haven't used one myself... so I don't have one to recommend yet. 💕
I just ordered the miter shears, scissors screwdriver , needles and croc o dile . I want the fine tip glue gun but looking for cheaper version. The last sure bonder glue gun I bought only lasted 4 months.
It sounds like Christmas for you!
I am shocked that your glue gun only lasted 4 months. Wow! I have never seen another cordless detail tip glue gun. They may have a patent on it. I wish I had another recommendation for you. 💕
I love to use heat gun on HOT setting to scorch wood with my vinyl stencil & scorch marker. I made a few Christmas gifts this year & they were a HUGE hit! Lucky me I have almost all of your tools but I think I need a better palm sander at some point. This year my hubby bought me a bunch of power tools & a tool chest for them…YIPPEE!!
Could you send a picture of your work. I’ve never heard of a scorch marker.
@@marthadueck6461 we can’t post pictures here. Can we? I don’t know how.
Power tools... you are speaking my language. Love it!! My suggestion would be to use your current palm sander until it breaks or dies on you. Then, get a new one. Scorch markers are so much fun!! You can't post pictues here, but you can share on Instagram. I can also plan on doing a demo soon. 💕
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy YES, please do a demo so that individual can see it for themselves plus I’d love to see what you do!!!
Just watched you for the first time thank you for the craft tool recommendations
Where did you buy your cordless glue gun, mini vacuum and miter shears, i am interested in buying them
Would appreciate it
❤️❤️❤️
Pls
I have the Crop-o-dile and the Big bite! I still have the eyelets!
I do love the Big Bite. I almost shared it, but thought 3 would be too many. 😂
f you use eyelets... do you paper craft? That is when I did use them. 💕
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy yes! I have been of numerous design teams for stamp companies! I just know they are coming back in style!!! LOL 😂
FYI not only does that screwdriver have large & small Philips & Flat blade screwdrivers but what holds them can be used as a 1/4" & 5/16" nut driver.
Hi Jennifer, you are the reason I own the Mitre Shears, Silicone mats, a cricut explore air 2, and a few others. Sadly I have wanted a surebonder mini glue gun and the fabric glue sticks, but they are not available in the uk 😩 Thanks for the fab list again, there are a few on there I need now 🤣 x
I hope you love everything as much as I do! I did not know that about SureBonder. I do know they are explanding in different stores. So maybe they will move outside of the US soon too. 💕
What brand are the scissors? #5
Oh girl, u shouldve gotten the cropodile big bite. Its reach is great, several inches. tyfs
I have the Big Bite. I just like my babies more. I almost showed it, but thought showing 3 would be too much 😂💕
Hello Jennifer, I hope you & your family are doing well! 🙏❤ I have those small & large wood clamps! I love those scrapers...I will have to get those! I bought that paint tent a year ago cuz I saw it on your channel! I need to get those scissors too! I love that zip snip, really nice! I definitely will be purchasing those flat paint brushes! 😊 I been wanting those silicone pads as well! I have the lady bug vacuum too! Lol I love that lighter too! My husband bought me the 6 in 1 stapler from Amazon for Christmas that I wanted! 😁 I have not used it yet, I hope it works out well! 😊 I do have the Surebonder mini, detailed glue gun, I do not have the cordless one yet! Lol I have a mini iron but not the mini Easy press! Too funny...I really wanted the Cricut Maker 2...my daddy bought me the Cricut Maker 2 for Christmas in 2021, then the Cricut Explore 3 came out! 🙄 I could not exchange it so I have to settle for the Cricut Maker 2 which I'm sure is still great! 😊 I have the miter shears too! I have a crop-a-dile too! I have a large needle too, it is definitely useful! I love those needle cases, very nice! I have a palm sander that my girlfriend gave me, it has point in the front that is great for corners ect, I love it & use it all the time! My husband gave me a heat gun for Christmas! I can't wait to use it! I recently finished my craft room but still have to organize all of my stuff which is a lot! I probably use my palm sander, mod podge & my Waverly Chalk paint the most! As always Jennifer, thank you for sharing your favorite tools with us! Stay safe, healthy and positive! God bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸😊
It sounds like you had a great Christmas and are set and ready to go! The Maker is a GREAT machine. I am enjoying the smart vinyl, but it is not the end all be all. I don't feel like you settled. There is so much you can do with your machine. The most important would be to USE IT and have FUN! 💕
I did have a great Christmas, thank you so much Jennifer! I hope you & your family had a great Christmas as well! Thank you so much for your advice! I love you & your channel and look forward to your upcoming videos! 😍 I will definitely use my Cricut when my computer is up & running again! Thank you again Jennifer! 💓
I enjoyed your video, it was very informative. I do have a question concerning the ZipSnips. Have you cut foam core board with them?
Thank you Laura! Yes, I have used the Zip Snips with foam board. They cut is with ease. 💕
This is a great list! I love my spray tent but can't for the life of me close the thing 50% of the time. lol I LOVE my miter shears... (technically they're my hubs). lol I've had my Crop-o-Dile since 2007, it's still working awesome. I really want the Big Bite.
Ask on Y T..how I got mine back down.. I hope it helps.🙏
It looks like I need to do a demo of closing the spray tent. It is one of those things that once you understand how to do it... it is super simple. Do you follow me on Instagram? That would be the easiest place for me to demo.
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy I just saw this- YES! That would be helpful! lol
Just went to Amazon and purchased 3 of your suggestions. Can you give me more info on the glue gun? Maybe a model #. So many to choose from and would like to get the same one you have. Thanks for all the great suggestions!
I hope you love everything Debbie. The Glue Gun is Surebonder CL-195F Cordless/Corded Detail Tip 20W High Temp Mini Glue Gun. I just saw it is back in stock on Amazon amzn.to/36I7rT7
Thank you. I will place another order.
I bought the SureBonder Glue Gun and its been the worst the glue sticks are always getting stuck in it ... it currently has a glue stick stuck in it ... 😞 I had such high hopes for the surebonder glue gun 😞
I bought one also and I have the same problem also when I want to take it off the base it gets stuck and the whole thing comes with. 🥺
I am so sorry you have not had the same experience I have had with the SureBonder glue gun. I will tell you I only use SureBonder glue sticks. I am not sure if that makes any difference. I have had my glue gun before it was even released to the public, and have never had an issue with it.
What brand is the heat gun?
It is Porter Cable Heat Gun amzn.to/2RjmcGS
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy thank you.
What model is the heat gun? The link to Amazon did not work for me.
It is the cordless detailed tip. It must be out of stock on Amazon. You can also order it from the Surebonder website.
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy thank you!
My surebonder glue gun is my favorite.
I am glad you love it too! 💕
I cannot find the description box where to find or buy the craft tools you recommended
Can you pls. Send or post it again
Thank you in advance
OMG - I need to place about a $300 order!
😂I only shared my favorite, favorite! But, I didn't get them all at once.
Jennifer is a great name!
I always enjoy hearing what products you like most. With the Dr. Bronner's soap, do you dilute it? Thank you!
Thank you Tina! I don't take the time to dilute the soap, but I olny use a little. A bottle last me a year. It would work just fine to dilute iit. 💕
@@LittleBitofCalmCrazy Thank you for taking the time to answer my question :)
I'm on board with nearly everything BUT Silhouette beats anything Cricuit by miles.
What is smart vinyl? I mean what is the difference?
Great Question.
Smart vinyl does NOT require at mat. That means you can do 2 things:1. Cut several designs without stoping (like I did for the Team Shirts) and 2. You cut longer designs. The one downside is that smart vinly is still very expensive and there is not any current off brands making it that I am aware of.
I own both crocodiles, but, it is because I bought the small one first .
I think they are both great to have! 🙌🏻💕
Loce this show my cart is full.
Thanks Kellie! I hope you enjoy everything as much as I do! 💕
