Need Help Finding Tools?

I’ve assembled all of my favorite products from the video into an Amazon collection so you can see what they look like and get a feel for their cost. That also allows me to keep things current in one central location and keep my lists up to date for you.

But if you want to buy them locally, that’s GREAT too! Most craft stores carry many of these items.

Some links may be affiliate links where I will earn a small commission if you purchase, but it doesn't change the price you pay.  Thanks for supporting Ballyhoo Creations!  (●'◡'●)
