Helpful pointers for crafters
All crafters are after those tips and tricks to make their
trade more cost-effective and efficient, but have you ever
thought of just making your craft tools and materials last
longer? Nikki White presents five inspiring pointers on
how to re-vamp the old, instead of spending more money
on buying brand new.
Sharpen your craft scissors so they last longer
Did you buy those special
craft scissors that cost
a lot of money? Even if
you didn’t a sure tip for
crafters is to sharpen your
scissors using sandpaper.
Sandpaper can be found
at very affordable price
in B&Q stores, eBay or
Amazon, and a piece of
sandpaper will last you a
very long time.
Why not store your markers horizontally?
Sharpie pens can be
incredibly expensive;
some stores (like
WHSmith) charge £9
for a pack of 3 black ink
permanent markers. If you
got some spare markers,
a tip to make the ink last
longer is to store them
horizontally in a box.
