I set up a sketch book. It’s not really a book; more a ring binder file with some paper in it. The fact I chose a ring binder is that I can put in any sketched ideas I have while on the go.
It is useful since I get ideas cropping in my mind that I don’t have the time to do there and then. I also included birthdays and special occassiona lists for the cards and gifts I need to prepare.
Here is also a basic tools and equipment list. I found that every time I include the material needed for a crafty thing, some items are common for almost every project. Some of these items are not needed for every project, but are good to have:
• Pencil
• Scissors – paper, fabric, embroidery
• Craft knife – large handle & small handle
• Tweezers
• Ruler
• Sharpener
• Rubber
• Paint brushes
• Empty containers
• Tissues & wet wipes
• Glue – various types
• Cutting mat
I didn’t get the cutting mat until recently, and I wish I had done so before. It gives you peace of mind making sure you’re not damaging the underlying surface and the measurement markings help you in your craft especially paper and fabric cuttings.
