My name is Kellye McDonald, and I am part of a big family that always has something going on. I love to make all sorts of stuff, whether it is weird, cute, yummy, big, shiny, original, you name it. Almost always I come from a budget of at or below free, and stay as near that as possible.
So since this is a craft blog, and I try to work first with what I have, I should tell you a little about some of the things I keep on hand.
This is my basic sewing machine. I got it on clearance. That box behind it has all my needles and threads.
I keep all my small craft items in a SUPER handy rolling craft organizer. Before I had this thing, my stuff was everywhere.
- hot glue guns with LOTS of glue sticks,
- school glue
- several boxes of crayons (I picked up a pack of I think 16 boxes several years ago),
- a box with my pens, pencils, map pencils, sharpies, washable markers, highlighters, and general writing utensils. (My specialty pens, like glitter pens, chalk markers, and glitter markers are in individualized elastic bands inside the lid.)
- tape- washi tape, scotch tape, duck tape, electrical tape, painters tape, scrapbook tape runners, and packing tape
- scissors- both regular and specialty cutting
- ribbon
- paper- notebook, computer, tissue, construction, and specialty scrapbook (Y'all, that stuff goes on sale SO often, many times for HALF off!)
- wooden skewers (they're seriously cheap and you'd be surprised what you can do with them)
- paint-spray, fabric, glitter, acrylic
- paintbrushes
- stencils- fancy letters, basic letters, shapes/designs
- yarn
- fishing line (it sounds random, it's not. I LOVE that stuff.)
- cotton balls
- office supplies- ruler, stapler, staples, hole punch
- rubber bands
- SHINIES- stick on shinies, loose shinies, strands of shiny beads and pearls, teeny tiny shiny beads (I love shiny!)
- Small random leftovers from previous projects that I might reuse
That's all for now, please share and subscribe.
