A List of Supplies all Crafters should have! Jaydee Polo (bout my bizness)

I'm not sure what type of person you are (no duh) but if your like me, you have a hard time posting content because your not sure if you should stick with tutorials and/or offering products you've made. I just can't seem to stay in one area. Even though I visit quite a few different blogs and come across the type of blogs I would consider professional and would love to have the same organization. I can't seem to stay focus on one thing and I find myself going back and forth, but let me tell it, believing I know what it takes to blog (just write) but executing those beliefs fall somewhere between coming up with something to make, actually having the supplies to complete, and  documenting the steps it took. 

When I have an idea I just dive in and figure out the show and tell afterwards. Sometimes when I think about it, I believe I put to much thought into it, even though, I know it requires several different hats to manifest a cluster of concepts. Wearing all the hats makes it difficult but If I could give someone out there who has difficulties getting started my advice it would be to write, write something and then come back and re-read what you wrote. This helps me to see what thoughts I left out or what sentences need more. Now I'm not good at grammar (at all) and I'm far from a English teacher but I do understand the English language and what makes sense when I read it. Even if I don't have the pronunciation marks included or in the right place. I'm a work in progress!

Just like this post I will come back and edit what I wrote here. The most important thing is to get something wrote so you will have a rough draft of a potential post. Ultimately, I want my blog to be relatable and down to earth, I want a blog that has reliable and honest information. The truth is I'm far from being a successful blogger but I do love making handmade products, listening to and creating music so, hopefully as I dedicate myself, I will be able to successfully combine my love for music and crafts, together in perfect harmony! My goal is to bring what I enjoy to the blogging table and having the ability to tell my story where in return I inspire, enlighten, and motivate my readers.

Now for those who are visiting for the first time, I want to share my motto: "I'm a creative soul and if you didn't know now you do", I have a love for creating and my blog will have a little bit of everything (lboe pronounced (elbow)) so expect the unexpected. Just in case your wondering, that will not be last time I write that, lol! 

Overall, I want to create, craft, and document.. in such a way that I sustain my needs as well as my wants. As I type towards my dream of blogging success!

If you do crafting as a hobby or a job, this post will point you in the right direction when you decide to improve or add to your crafting equipment and supplies. This is a basic list that will aid you so you can brainstorm and rough draft your projects because you will use a lot of your supplies trying to build and perfect your project, so keep these supplies plentiful.

Now lets get to this list: (Some of the links are affiliate, thnx for using them!)

* markers-Sharpie, I don't really use any other kind.

* copy paper- I go to Walmart for my printer paper because it's cheaper.

* scissors-Paper Edger, Fiskars

* rulers- walmart or any dollar store

* glue- E6000®,  G S Hypo

* printer- this is usually a personal choice but get a printer that has many paper options.

* ink- This is all according to your needs but this is where I've shopped.

* cutter-This is the cutter I use but they have plenty of newer options.

* sewing machine- this is the machine I use. I've had it for years!

* sewing supplies- thread, spools, etc...

* fabric- I get my fabric from hobby lobby and Walmart. They have the best prices.

* paint- I love getting my paints from hobby lobby and Walmart.

* glue gun- I've shopped at Jo-ann's for this item but again HL and Wlm have the best prices.

* glue sticks- Any dollar store will take care of this and some come with the gun.

* files-Needle File some prefer metal but plastic is good but visit your local craft store or Walmart to learn more.

* clay- Go here if you would like to learn more about the types of clay.

* exacto knives- Again HL or Walmart

* laminator- I use the Scotch 3M.

* t-shirt heat vinyl- Visit here they answer a lot of vinyl questions and here is a place I've shopped at.

* decals- USCutter has a good deal on removable vinyl but make sure you research your needs.

* glitter-Fine Glitter is good to have because I believe it covers more but if you want to learn the types, go here but as always HL, Dollar store or Wlm have great prices.

* pillow stuffing- This is the stuffing I use. I usually get my stuffing from Wlm or Jo-ann Fabric.

* molds- Now you can buy or make your own. I do both, hobby lobby and copy flex are my options.

Now there's so much more but I believe this will get you off to a good start, if nothing else it will get the creative thinking train to moving. I hope this list will help you to think about what you need and assist you in searching for the supplies you will eventually have in your craft room (I truly hope this helps). It's better to have more then less and no matter what you invest, you will always be investing. It's a never ending cycle in the craft world!

As always I must leave you with a video from one of my favorite lesbian artist and one of our tracks, plz enjoy and
Happy Creating from 2ufromus!

This track represents how we feel when people ask us why we love each other...Who I Love (explicit). I hope you enjoy!
