We have used these mug warmers for workshops and feel that they get the job done. You will need a plate or dish to set on top for melting your Swax.

This is Sara's favorite mug warmer and the one that she uses all the time for her Swax melting. The lip is a little smaller and may allow you
to use a wider range of dishes.

Sara uses these special pinking shears to cut material for the leaves of wool felted trees.

This set of hair cutting shears will give you so many possibilities as you make long haired dogs, feathers, and more.

Find those dropped needles easily with this set of surprisingly strong magnets. You can also have fun along with us, trying to pick up staplers and other heavy metal things...just because you can!

This is an incredibly handy little tool to have around as you build armatures, make and add shapes, and check for symmetry.

Spray starch alternative that is perfect for spraying feather fiber ,mermaid tails, flower petals, etc.

Waxed thread in many colors for the macrame feather technique.

Sara is experimenting with this as a way to mount 2D art to foamcore or backing. Unlike Powertex it stays flexible.

There are a lot of lavender sprays out there! This is the one that Sara uses to spritz her critters to keep the moths at bay. We make no promises that it will 100% work against stubborn moths but it is a great step towards protecting them!

Use this for your feathers to stiffen them a bit. Also great for Milo's hair!

Extra Strong Hold Unscented

This iron set is a great tool to have in your stash. You can get into the small cracks and crevices of bat wings and iron your wet felted garments for your little critters, etc.

Sara uses this on her feathers to make them shine. You could apply it to any fiber that you want to add some shine, like wet felted dragon skin, mermaid tail, etc. Test it out before you do a whole project to make sure you like the effect.

Sara has tried this frame for 2D pieces and it is a great option for hanging your piece. There are also other size options that you will find as you check out this item.
