Hot Glue Gun
This one is an all rounder, what would we do without this? Hot glue guns have such multi use purpose. It is a necessary tool for quick crafting. You can use this with technically on any surfaces, it gets hot quick, dries quick and does what it says.
A Good Pair of Scissors
When you are getting into each aspects of crafting there are amazing kinds of scissors out there designated for each kind of DIY, for example sewing and cutting fabrics, however owning a pair of all purpose scissors are very helpful all around the clock. Having more pairs never a burden so this one too counts as a perfect gift.
Double Sided Tape
It’s like cello tape but with more options and a twist. I found it very useful when adding tricks, securing parts and sides whilst it is easily manageable to make it all hidden from the untrained eyes.
Utility Knife
It’s a must for cutting thicker materials like cardboards.
Needle Nose Pilers
It is going to serve as a big help when working with wires, hooks. If you need to curl the smallest bends with a wire for a photo to hang on the wall or perhaps you are fixing a jewellery because it is too loose it will be your tool to go!
Circle Cutter
When we want that perfect round shape and template after template we end up cutting ellipsis or egg shapes and keep adjusting it and ending up a much smaller sized circle we planned to cut. Not with this! You can make precision cuts with circle cutters and there will be no more circle - like shapes anymore, just circles.
Paper Trimmer
Make beautifully made clean paper cuts with nice edges. It is going to serve you well and make all paper related crafting, scrapbooking so much more joyful with this tool.
Dremel Rotary Tool
You may think it is advanced and why would you need this, but just trust me. This little device can make soo much fun, the amount of creative projects and finishes you can come out with a single tool kit like this is something can not miss out of your DIY tool cabinet!
Cordless Drill
This looks a bit more serious to someone who thinks of making scrapbooking and sewing as a creative hobby, but really this is so handy beyond obvious. One not be a DIYer without a drill in their DIY tool organiser, you can use this with making holes in objects so you can hang them or turn them into keychains, or just hanging things up on walls and creating smaller home decors.
And a few extra for “you never know” times ?
Acrylic Paint Mini Selection
You don’t have to be into painting landscapes to store up a smaller sized variation of colors from acrylic paint. They can come handy for fixing chipped corners or covering up cracks on small objects.
Mix of Craft Papers
Amazing for any crafts or origami, but if not having multiple sizes, colors and prints of kraft papers allow you to change the background in framed photos and artworks on the wall. They are cheap and effortless DIY solution for some change.
Mix of Felt and Fabric Scraps
They can be work as sew on patches to fix a ripped surface instead of discarding it. Not throwing out fabric waste and recycling fabric scraps is a perfect way to start practising sewing and to create smaller objects from tiny textiles, like coaster, book notes, scrunchies, key chains, make up bags..
