Shipping Supplies
I like my items to be pink but you can do any color you want. It is best to have most of these items yourself so you can have your items picked up from your house and not have to take them to the post office.
This is perfect if you do not have a regular printer and want to print your labels from home.

Machines for different crafts
Most of these are ones I have or am looking into getting very soon.
If you are looking into getting a craft machine, spend the money and get a good one. You will be using it often and don't want to have to worry about something happening or it not working for what you need.
Cricut Explore 3 - 2X Faster DIY Cutting Machine
The machines you use determine the difficulty of your project. I started with a cheap heat press and hated it. My designs weren't pressing right to my shirts and I wasted so much money. Get one that you will love. This is the one I love.
Cricut EasyPress 3 Smart Heat Press Machine 12x10
This heat press is awesome for not just shirts but sweatshirts and canvas bags too.
Cricut EasyPress 2 Heat Press Machine 12x10
If you are doing alot of shirts everyday then looking into a bigger heat press would be a great option.
VEVOR 2 in 1 Heat Press Machine Combo
This heat press is just awesome. It isn't too expensive plus has a large surface so you do not have to press down multiple times to cover the entire design.

Carts/Organization
You can use anything really as a cart. Even just regular racking.
I adore this craft cart. This does not take up too much room but still has enough space for your projects.
GDLF Storage Cabinet for Cricut Machines & Accessories
If you really don't have that much space then this cart is good to hold some supplies. You could put little bins on it too for better organization.
Fannova 3 Tier Printer Cart with Storage Shelf
I have so many craft things now and honestly this with a bunch of individual bins is just perfect. Super easy to set up too.
SDXYSTCE 3-Tier Heavy Duty Garage Shelving
Now you would not be able to put anything heavy on this but this is another great options for storage if you do not have a lot of space.

Bow Supplies
I make faux leather bows for young girls so these are the materials I use for that.
When making bows you do not want someone to see your trace mark. These are disappearing ink! Crazy right!?!

These are a nice size clips for whether you are making bows for a little one or an older girl.
YGDZ 150pcs 1.77 Inch Metal Hair Bow Clips
You definitely will need a glue gun and this comes with the glue sticks along with the case. The case is my favorite because I definitely would fine glue sticks all over my craft bag before.
Liumai Mini Hot Glue Gun Kit with 30 Sticks
Ok I make the hard bows and good staples to just have on hand are the solid glitter rolls. This is a good size and cheap price.
