bfu.jpg

Bone Folder ~ Use to score, fold and crease papers.  A valuable asset for book making and paper crafts of all kinds.  Use it to burnish your metal tapes down on glass also.  It measures appros. 8" long and approx. 1" wide.  It is easy to use and to hold- fits well in your hand.
$2.00

TIP:  I have checked into some Teflon Bone Folders.  The ones currently on the market are very expensive and it is the material that makes them that way.  You are paying for a lot of the qualities of the material that are irrevelant to our use of the bone folder.
I do love the fact that the teflon bone folders will not leave a mark when you are folding cardstock and other papers.  But......I have come up with an inexpensive solution.  If you use the teflon sheet that I carry, lay it over your fold, use this bone folder over it and you will NOT leave a mark on your paper!  Yeah me!

Non Stick Craft Sheet~ All the info is mentioned above. (actually all this info is listed on the link below for this page)   Did I mention that this price is about equal to the wholesale price of the other company??
$4.99 

For all the info on the non stick teflon sheet, please check this link

needlesuse.jpg

Book Binding Needles~ Pkg. of 5 Needles.
$1.50

rulruse.jpg

C-Thru Brand Metal Ruler~ Their rulers have been a favorite of mine for a long time.  This metal ruler is flexible stainless steel and has a non skid cork backing on it.   Has a convenient hole on top for hanging.  Metal rulers are great especially if you like to use an Exacto knife to cut.  You can run the Exacto along the edge of a metal ruler and it won't cut into it.  It is not C-Thru-that is the brand name.
$3.00

waxuse.jpg

100% Pure Beeswax Button~ This is a 4 oz. button of pure beeswax.  Run your thread thru the beeswax for smooth and easy sewing.  Great for beading or for bookmaking.
$1.00

hollowholepunch.jpg

Hole Punch Set~  This heavy duty six piece set contains the following size hole diameters -
1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 5/16".  To use, just position where you desire hole to be and hit the top with a hammer.
Simple, portable and efficient.
$6.75

spuse.jpg

Dual End Spatula~ This is a perfect tool for applying adhesives or other media to a tight spot (like in book making) or to smooth out over a surface.  One end of the flexible spatula measures approx. 1 3//4" long and the other flexible spatula end measures approx. 1 1/8" long.    The wood handle is comfortable to use in your hand also. 
$3.99

scissorsuse.jpg

4" Micro Scissors~ I have used these scissors for a number of years now for smaller cuts and they work very well and I have not had any problem with them.  They are ideal for cutting small items or intricate designs.  I have them at a new price too, much lower than my previous supplier.
$1.49

awluse.jpg

Metal Awl~ That's the technical term, or call it a hole reamer.  It measures 6" long and the reaming tip seems to be quite strong.  Use it for book board, chip board, fabric, paper, clay, etc.  This is what is referred to as a "light duty" awl- if you have really heavy paper or board you need a heavy duty awl.
$1.99

misteruse.jpg

Mini Misters~ These are a great tool to have handy but usually are sold in a pack of 3.  Not everyone wants or can use 3 of them or may just want to try them to see if they like them- so these are sold individually.  You can use these in so many different ways- use with water or your favorite medium like alcohol inks.  Some other ways to use them are:  with distress inks to create unique backgrounds; for setting Perfect Pearls pigment powders; activiate watercolor paints or blend watercolor pencils; create a faux watercolor look by misting directly onto stamp; keep metal clays moist while working; as a release agent with polymer clays to mist molds, brayers, texture plates and more; mix with Adirondack acrylics to creat paint glazes.  That should keep you busy for awhile.  They are ideal for travel too and measure approx. 4" high (including cap) and approx. 9/16" in diameter.
Sold individually. (my choice of color-but most are clear looking ones)
$1.67 

est.jpg

Eyelet Setting Tool 4 Pc. Kit~Heavy duty set for setting 1/8"; 5/32"; 3/16" & 1/4".  Should easily meet all your eyelet setting needs.
$6.75

shankuse.jpg

Button Shank Nippers~You can stretch your embelllishment options with these professional quality 4 1/2" end nippers.  Use them to cut off button hanks and then glue the flat backed buttons to your work. They are also great for cutting wire.  They are made of heat treated steel, sturdy spring load action, precision machined jaws.  They also have a limited lifetime warranty from the mfg. 
$3.49

tweezuse.jpg

Bent Nose Tweezers~ When you absolutely need precision placement, delicate paper picked up or a dainty little object moved, this is your tool.  Stainless steel.  It is so nice to have the right tool on hand when you need it.
$1.25

algtrclipuse.jpg

Alligator Clips~ These are an indispensable tool with many different uses.  You can slip the clip over the end of a pencil (you will have to taper it down to fit) or dowel rod to create a handy tool for embossing, soldering, etc. so your hands don;t get burnt.  Use them for jewelry making to hold things in place, etc.     Sold per clip.
$1.25

wateruse.jpg

Aqua-Flo Water Brush~ These are  a wonderful and useful product.  I had forgotten how great they were until I was using them again at a recent convention.  They are great for applying your Twinkiling H2o"s, watercolors, watercolor pencils or crayons, etc.  These are made by Royal Langnickel, the company who has been manufacturing fine artists brushes for many years.  They come in a package of 3 in 3 sizes, small, medium and large.  It has instructions on the back for their use and the ways you can fill them with water.   These are great to use with kids,  I recently used them with my 5 yr old and 3 yr old grand-daughters to watercolor and it was great since the water was contained- no spill!
$5.75

dritzawluse.jpg

Heavier Duty Awl~This sharp pointed awl will work for heavier items like leather, plastics, book board, wood and plasterboard.  You can start small holes for wood screws, screw eyes, tieback hooks and more.  You can also use it as a marker to mark positions for hanging window gtreatments and frames.  So for book making or for around the house- it will be an invaluable tool.  It measures approx 4 1/2" high and has a large knob like handle for ease of use.
$4.25
