Basic Supplies & Tools
Before we can get started, you need to have the right tools and supplies.
Some are household items and you only need to double check you have them.
Unusual supplies are unusual items most people don't have at home.
I do not make an profit from the links I list here.
*Every link opens in a new tab.*
Link pages are suggestions, you can get your supplies from wherever you want. However, for best results I recommend the brands mentioned. Store suggestions are for ease.
You can download a printable version of the Basic Supplies list at the bottom of the page, to use as a checklist or for reference.
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS:
Food coloring dyes (I use McCormick brand, found at your local grocery store)
Small scissors (I use cuticle scissors, like this)
Toothpicks
Paper towels
