Crafting Tools

Every crafter needs reliable equipment. It’s what makes the beautiful creations they see in their minds come to life! Below are my favorite tried and true craft machines and equipment that make the best gift ideas for crafters!

Cricut Machine – Cricut is my favorite cutting machine, and after ten years of crafting with them, I can say that any creative person would love this gift! A Cricut is definitely a must-have gift for any crafty person.

Cricut Maker® 3 + Everything Materials Bundle. The Cricut machine is front and center in this display that includes various colors of vinyl rolls and Cricut tools like scissors, weeding tools, and marking pens.

Cricut Accessories– Cricut usually sells machine bundles that can have everything a crafter needs to get started, but they also sell additional accessories that are pretty AWESOME! Like the Cricut EasyPress, which is made specifically for vinyl projects.

A Quality Glue Gun– Every crafter has to have a quality glue gun. I personally love when I can find a standing glue gun because they don’t stick to your table surface when set down. This one here is the model I upgraded to more recently by Surebonder, which I love, and it’s so pretty!

Craft Kits and Supply Packs

Black crayon writing says "ply yarn club 12 months" in the white center with yarn bundles in each corner in shades of blue, orange and yellow, green, and red and pink.

Crochet Kit – The crochet kit gift can be wonderful for any crafter, whether beginner or seasoned.

Vinyl Pack– Vinyl is all the rage when it comes to using a Cricut machine. There are literally endless projects to make with vinyl. Gift them the vinyl pack they need to get started on some new projects.

Ply Yarn Club – Why not add a year’s worth of yarn to that crochet kit for your crafting friend to make things all year long?

Craft Organization Storage Ideas

Paper organizer – Crafters usually need some form of paper storage because let’s face it, we are hoarders. I’ve used this exact one and love it.

A clear plastic craft caddy with two bins on either side of the center handle. The back bin holds packages of Crayola fingerpaints. The front bin is separated into three bins and hold blue glitter, crayons and markers. Craft caddies work great for art supplies for kids.
