What I use to create 

Welcome to My Craft List

If you’ve ever wondered, “What is she using?” — it’s probably here 😊 These are my favorite everyday art supplies that show up again and again in my videos.

I stopped adding product links under individual videos to prevent expired links and any risk to my channel, so this page is now the home for everything.

Nothing here is sponsored or affiliated — just honest tools I use in my real creative life.

You don’t need perfect supplies to make meaningful art. Just start.

If a link is broken, I’m sorry. I try to include clear descriptions so you can easily search for the item on Amazon. I often buy directly from Amazon.com, and I also like MPB.com for used camera gear.

Please be careful when purchasing high-priced items on Facebook Marketplace and Mercari — there are many scammers out there. I prefer buying from stores that offer a good return window for peace of mind.
