As promised from “DIY Halloween Crafts On A Budget: Part 1”, I now present you with “The Crafter’s Essential Tool Box” in which I will list all the supplies you may want to collect for your ultimate craft supply go to kit. Please know you can get a lot of this for cheap from Walmart, Dollar Tree, Amazon Prime and even Hobby Lobby & Michaels when they have sales:
- Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Glue, Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
- Modge-Podge (Or make your own as it’s a combo of water and glue)
- Glitter glue and Puff Paint
- Pencils and Pens, Colored Pencils, Crayons
- Sketch Books
- Construction Paper

- Reserve old glass jars, cans and plastic cups you would otherwise throw away for water when you paint, or as a colored pencil holder or paint brush holder etc.
- Any thing you find that can be reused in crafts, from magazines, newspapers, toilet paper & paper towel rolls, to old mail (Confession: I’ve used old mail that I tore up or shredded or crumbled in place of cotton for stuffing. Be resourceful, is anything really off the table?)
I will add on to this list as ideas arise… Stay Tuned.
