Sewing/Crafting Tools
CHAIN - LINK: https://amzn.to/3NjkZ2p
These are the exact chains that I use for your masks!
Available in different colours.
Note: Some batches that I've had in the past have oxidized. Some have not. Please know that it's possible and treat your chain properly!
RIBBON - LINK: https://amzn.to/40qZpMx
These are the exact ribbons that I use for your masks. They're quite silky, I love the way they feel.
Available in different colours.
NEEDLES - LINK: https://amzn.to/4s46lew
These are the needles that I use to stitch out my work.
I use 90/14.
(Remember, the thicker the material, the bigger the needle, the larger the number. The thinner the material, the thinner the needle, the smaller the number!)
Available in different sizes.
WATER SOLUBLE STABILIZER - LINK: https://amzn.to/40WM6DH
This is the same stabilizer that I stitch my products on to. I have tried a lot of different types of water soluble stabilizer and this one by far gives the best results while being the most affordable.
BOBBIN WINDER - LINK: https://amzn.to/3OZrLel
I've used this bobbin winder to help me wind more bobbins. It works great and stops automatically when the bobbin is full.
Just a note: it can sometimes wind too much around the middle, so just keep that in mind when using it. You might have to encourage it to wind more evenly by poking the thread a little to spread it out.
Works with small spools and large spools!
BOBBINS- LINK: https://amzn.to/4uFxkiz
You're gonna need some bobbins for that bobbin winder! Here is a pack of bobbins that work for most machines. See the link above to find what machines they work with!
SPOOL HOOK- LINK: https://amzn.to/4s3YCx1
I use a lot of different colours for my products, so having a spool hook that holds more than one colour is a must for me. These ones are great!
SCISSORS- LINK: https://amzn.to/4lwQxyz
I love these scissors and snips combo. They work so well and have a satisfying cut. Highly recommend!
CRAFT WIRE- LINK: https://amzn.to/4sC4Ow9
Probably my most requested item. This is the wire that I recommend. 18g!
Available in different colours and gauges.
JUMP RINGS

NIPPLE PASTIES - LINK: https://amzn.to/4rnCMmY
I know this one might look a bit weird, but this is the brand of silicone nipple cover I use to prevent my glasses from pressing into the bridge of my nose. To see how I use them, click here to watch this tiktok!
Available in more shades.
TABLE RAISERS - LINK: https://amzn.to/46Sp5Fx
This one is more for selling your work at markets. It's a trick that I think EVERYONE needs for their table! Put these under the legs of your table to raise it up! It helps make your table look more professional, and prevents people from needing to bend down to look at your products.
Combine the pieces together for maximum height, or just use one of the block sizes for a slight raise.
