Basic Crafting

Hello!
Today I will be showing you how to perfect the art of crafting, and this post does not reqire photos. This post will tell you all about the basic supplies needed to make most of the crafts on this blog. 
The supplies are:
  • Computer paper- This is by far the most simple craft supply.It Can be found almost anywhere.
  • Cardboard-This is also pretty basic. Collect cardboard from cereal boxes, Poptart  boxes and shipping boxes.
  • Craft Foam-I buy Mine at createforless.com.You can Get 50 mini sheets of foam for somewhere around six dollars.
  • Fabric-I Buy mine at Joan's fabric by the yard.
  • Tinfoil- This is something you probably have at home. 
  • Drinking Straws-I get Mine from amazon.  However, To save time and money, pick up some at your local coffe shop for free.
  • Bottlecaps- Collect these from water , soda and Gatorade bottles
  • Lara's wooden button plugs- Athese are not all that basic, But they are doll play gold. I get mine the same place I got the craft foam sheets.
  • Markers-My advice-Do not go too fancy. I just use Crayola Pip Squeaks.
  • Scrapbook paper-This is a great play essential. Get it in a value pack, and buying it from a vendor aimed at younger kids will lower costs. 
  • Popsicle sticks-Warning- Buy these from a craft store. Do not use used Popsicle sticks!
  • Colored Computer paper-Recycle from brochures.
  • Ads from the paper-These have many uses.
Next Are a few tips:
  1. Do not use any food product in your crafts. If you want to treasure miniatures forever, Refrain from using salt dough that has not been sealed. Also Refrain from using anything with sugar in your crafts.
  2. While crafting, Keep in mind that dangers may be posed. If you are under 11, I would ask a parents help on hot glueing, clay baking or ironing a patch. For your safety, Hot glue and oven bake clay are not used in any crafts.
Enjoy!
