If you are starting to experiment with card making, scrap booking, or other paper craft, it is time to add to the essentials list I posted earlier ( link to that post by clicking Card ) . Here is a list for you to splurge on at your local dollar store:
Any kind of things to color with: crayons, colored pencils, water colors, paints,
TWO or more marker sets , plus clear rubbing alcohol, and very small squirt bottles (one to two ounce size) : you can pull out the center of each marker with scissors or pliers , place in the bottle, and add the alcohol to make your own alcohol color sprays. Trust me, you will love it.
If you have room, poster board in any color, and those big display boards,too (you will cut them up in future projects)
PAPER of any variety
White glue..to glue with, of course
Aluminum foil ..makes good faux metal embellishments
baby wipes...for your hands
Cheap white flour : makes super paper mache dip
Storage with lids...to put your splurge in
paper clips...to hold things together while they dry. Also use a straightened one to unclog glue bottle
plain file folders...make great mini albums and notebooks
utility knives
make up cotton squares...useful as stamps for inks & paints ets
tape in a dispenser...so you can use tape with just one hand
magnets
google eyes, pompom balls,feathers, glitter, ....go wild in the kids craft isle!
a small tool set it will come in handy later
twine, shoelaces....alternative present wrapping and also card embellishment
Sigh! Have Fun!
SEE YOU LATER
