If you adore crafts as much as I do, and you’d like to see some of the crafty things I’ve created or want some ideas to get you started with a new craft, then you’ve come to the right place.
For all my favorite crafts, I’ve curated some lists of the best equipment available, favored by artists and fellow craft enthusiasts to get the most they can out of their own work.
It really does make a world of difference. The right equipment means you’re able to truly express yourself to the fullest. And the satisfaction you get when everything just goes right is second to none.

Paper Crafts
The enduring popularity of paper crafts lies in their simplicity. Have a look at the posts below for more info on what you might need, depending on what you want to make.
Also, if you’re wondering if you need a heat gun for your papercrafts, I go into why a hairdryer wouldn’t work, in the post about heat guns:
Candle and Soap Making
Crafts that you can actually use after you’re done making something exquisite. I think you can see why these therapeutic crafts are so especially popular.

The Craft Room (Organizers, Storage)
Then comes the craft room itself. Keeping things stored away neatly really does wonders for keeping your materials pristine. Not to mention, how much easier it makes tidying everything away!
