I’ve been meaning to post this for a while… Here are the items in my party toolkit that I couldn’t live without. I’m dying to know what is in yours, so please comment at the end of this post.
A good pair of sissors.
A 3 inch extra large punch for making all my party circles.
A 3 inch extra large scalloped edge punch for a little variety.
Several sheets of removable glue dots. I just got turned onto these and I love them! They are great for sticking things on the wall or sticking things to each other.
A set of permanent markers in lots of colors for any last minute signs I have to make.
Lots of safety pins in different sizes. Because I don’t sew, these are a life-saver for any fabric that needs pinning or tucking.
Double-sided tape, my old standby. But since I’ve been using glue dots, I don’t use this as much.
A big piece of white tulle. I’m always amazed at all the ways I can use it, it goes with everything, and it’s cheap.
This item doesn’t fit in my toolkit, but I love it so much, I have to include it. A big roll of kraft paper. It’s not only functional, but I think it looks cool – unfinished and playful.
Lots of ribbon. I buy them on sale in loads of colors and use them to dress up everything.
