Are you new to crafting? Wanna know all the tips and tricks? We've organized a list of our favorites that we use every day. We mainly make wreaths here at Designer DIY but most of these products you can use for just about any type of craft. Here is our list of must-haves for crafting! (This page includes affiliate links – my full disclosure statement is available {here})

Number 1 on the list...ROTARY CUTTER.

When needing so many pieces of mesh for wreaths, these are a must have to literally CUT your time in half. You see what I did there? :)

Next on the list...CUTTING MAT!

If you want to use a rotary cutter for your materials, you're going to want to get an amazing cutting mat!

We use the 18"x24" size :)

Don't forget your FRAY CHECK!

Keep all your beautiful ribbon from fraying. Glide some Fray Check right across the cut edges of your ribbon for a perfect sealed edge. This stuff is amazing and will keep your projects looking like new for years!
