Basic stuff I use

I’ve had quite a few people post comments or email me asking what products I’m using in my posts. I decided to go ahead and post a list of items I generally keep on hand.

This is not a comprehensive list by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve just picked out the items that I use most on a day-to-day crafting basis.

(This is from my Keepin’ Myself Busy post.)

Okay, for starters… Spray Paint. I own LOTS of Spray Paint. I primarily use Rust-oleum, but I use other brands as well. Here’s what I currently have on-hand.

From L to R: Rust-oleum for Plastic items – black, Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x gloss black, Design Master in gloss black (from Michael’s Arts and Crafts), & Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x flat black

From L to R: Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x gloss Apple Red, Rust-oleum Universal Metallic Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB), & Rust-oleum Metallic in Metallic Dark Bronze

From L to R: Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x flat white & Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x Primer in white

From L to R: Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x satin Nutmeg, Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x clear gloss, & Rust-oleum Ultra Cover 2x gloss Heirloom White

Next up on the list are glues and fillers:

Dap Kwik Seal caulk – white

Gorilla Glue

Elmer’s Wood Filler – natural

Hot Glue Gun

Goo Gone

Dap Dry Tex Spackling & 2″ putty knife

Basic all-purpose glue (school glue)

Everything Else:

Sanding block

Scotch 3M painter’s tape

Ruler, staple remover, and a good pair of scissors

Screw and nail kit

Paint brushes

Acrylic paints – multiple colors; any brand

Rust-olium Spray Paint handle

Razor blades

Tools. I really like the Sears Craftsman brand. From L to T: Needle nose pliers, Phillips and Flat Head screwdrivers, tape measure, level, hammer, and sharpies.

This is all *my* favorite stuff to use. Obviously it isn’t a full list because I didn’t include things like a drill or my air compressor or miter saw. Another day, another post…

I’ll post throughout the next few weeks on how I’ve used these products and give some examples.

Sorry this post was so… basic. I’ll try to be more witty again tomorrow. 😉

Please, if you have any questions about any of these products and just can’t wait one.more.second. for me to post my product updates, don’t hesitate to ask in the comments section or send me an email at allison at houseofhepworths.com.
