What is your absolute favorite tool that you just can’t live without?

I have more than one, but just so I don’t add too many pictures, I’ll go with these two because it’s hard to choose.

My acrylic paint brush markers have helped me take my builds to an all new level and I love what it adds to the already fantastic pieces.

My other choice is my game hoard/scrapbook organizers. These came in an 6 pack. Everything that comes with a kit fits into it nicely so that I don’t lose any parts. My favorite thing is that these are perfect for taking a kit on the go if I want to work on it somewhere besides home. (Like my DIY & Craftiing Club meetups!) :slightly_smiling_face:

Alright after seeing your photo I’m gonna buy some acrylic brush markers! Paint is just hard to work with edges and fine details. :face_holding_back_tears:

I hope I can get some decent ones from Aliexpress. :pink_heart:

I got my first set on Temu so I’m confident you’ll find some on AliExpress. My favorite brand has become Infiart that I got from Amazon.

I love my acrylic brush markers, although I’m still struggling to find a set with a more realistic brown.
I also love my sanding sticks and my tweezers (got a pair of medical ones that were one use and slotted for disposal).

@Suzanne_Jones inreally like the colors that Infiart offers. I have almost 200 of them. Lol

Also, I love the mini nail files for sanding. They’re a fantastic size.

I love the scrapbook organizer…so handy for taking stuff when you are on the move…and girl…You are DEFINITELY on the go. Again, congrats on all of your new meet-ups. I do a lot of house and dogsitting and find it awkward sometimes to take a kit that has been started already. Where did you find those? On the other hand…I’ve not been a fan of the markers. If you run out of a color, then you have to purchase a whole new set. I find that there are only maybe 10 colors that I use a LOT of so the larger sets wouldn’t be beneficial to me. It is also hard to tell from a picture when purchasing how fine a line it will create.

I love your scrapbook organizer. :heart_eyes: For me, I would choose my paint brushes since I use them in gluing small parts too.

Thanks for sharing! My husband is giving me your bottom acrylic markers for my birthday. I’m curious how opaque they are.

@Nita_Davis thanks…I got the organizers on Amazon but I would think there’s something similar on Temu? These are the perfect size for me and I also use them for keeping Stained glass projects together.

For me it’s definitely my tweezers. They’re nothing special or fancy, but I’ve had them for years and I’ve used them in every single build. My husband gave them to me, so they’re a bit sentimental too, and I just can’t imagine building without them. Sometimes the simplest tools become the most important ones :blush:
