Crafty at Home for the Holidays: Martha Stewart Crafts Cyber Monday Deal

Transform your home into a festive and spirited abode this holiday season without breaking the bank on decorations. D.I.Y. – and do it with Martha Stewart Crafts. They’re the expert crafters, so you don’t have to be. In fact, the folks at Martha Stewart Crafts have tips, tricks and kits for everyone from beginners to skilled pros.

The first step to crafting is to start with the basics, which in this case means making sure you have the essential tools to get you started. Think of this as your “evergreen” tool set – items you can use all year long, whether or not a lit-up evergreen tree is in your living room.

Essential Crafting Tools to Try:

• Paper Trimmer – accurately cut your paper or card stock and achieve clean, precise cuts
• Craft Knife – cut intricate shapes with precision and ease
• 12 x 12in Cutting Mat – protects your table and provides a stable, non-slip work surface that will extend the life of your cutting tools
• Ruler – used for much more than measuring, it can evenly align and apply alphabet stickers when composing a title or message, or to keep handwritten inscriptions perfectly straight.
• Scissors – essential for hand-cut shapes and get into tight corners
• Tweezers – a good pair of tweezers is indispensable for grasping and positioning small objects effortlessly
• Bone Folder – a must-have for making cards and other crafts that call for a sharp crease. This product trims, embosses and pierces beautiful designs into your paper crafts
• Glue Stick – a great, all-purpose adhesive for card making, scrapbooking, and all kinds of paper crafting
• Double-Sided Tissue Tape – the adhesive to use when you want a strong bond along a long length of paper
• Ballpoint-Tip Clue Pen – for precision application when working with small materials
• Glittering Glue with Brush Applicator – apply glitter or tiny beads to a large surface
