If you've been reading this blog for a while you may have noticed that many of my tutorials require a little or no specific tools. In most glue is a must, sometimes I used a sewing machine, but we also made together necklaces from plastic gum bottles, a bracelet with rocks from the garden, earrings with nail polish and blow drier and so on. It's fun to pick random things around the house and transform them in something wearable.  Many of the tools below aren't strictly necessary, but they will make the life of a crafter easier, so if you're looking for a gift idea for your crafty friend, you can consider the list below.  You can gift a sewing tool to a seamstress or surprise her with a decoupage kit and open to her a new world of possibilities and maybe she discovers a new hobby. Crafters are curious and are always looking for new ways to challenge their creativity.  By the way, you lovely readers are all crafters too, so check the list below to see if there's something you can add to your set of tools.
