Hello, I’m Chris, an avid crafter and a wedding florist. I am always exploring new crafts, new mediums and leading workshops at my local craft store, The Hive in Topeka Ks.

Here are 5 craft tools that I have found I use nearly everyday in the store.

Everybody loves the heat gun. It’s small and mighty and something different from a traditional hair dryer.

Feels like your using a tool.

Heat Gun

💡Perfect for resin, embossing, shrink plastic, or drying paint faster.

small, mighty and not intimidating —and under $20!

Silicone Mats

These silicone mats have saved my work bench’s. We host and have several people that pass through the craft shop. We have found these mats to not only be environmentally friendly but also save us money. It’s easier to lay a down a mat to protect the space other than paper. Because sometime crafts are super messy and the protective paper sometimes would become wet and messy and bleed through to the table so these mats are perfect size and saves the landfill from all the paper.

💡Non-stick, heat-resistant, and ideal for messy glue, paint, or resin work.these are perfect to protect your workspace surface they are reusable, colorful, and protects your workspace.

Acrylic Paint Pens

💡Write or draw on glass, wood, rocks, plastic, or resin! Super satisfying to use, comes in metallics, neons, pastels.

So many colors. There isn’t a day that these aren’t being used in store. Kids like to use on rocks, wood and even our craft tote bags.

Adults have used on glass, wood and acrylic.

Cordless Hot Glue Gun (USB rechargeable)

Whether if I’m in store or on the go this is my go to hot glue gun, it sure does come in handy. Because sometimes I’m even crafting in the car.

💡No cord. No mess. No need to hover near an outlet! AND Take it on the go!

We have a ton of beads in the shop and this organizer helps keep them sorted and in one place. I have even taken the little compartments out to use the larger case to hold my glue gun and other supplies when traveling.
