Crafting Supplies

Introduction

Every project requires supplies, and latex crafting projects are no exception. This article outlines the required tools to create your first latex item.

Gel Pens

Be sure to choose a color that will show up on your latex. For example: a white gel pen for black latex.

A gel pen offers a convenient way to mark out your templates and cutting area on your latex material.

Pattern Paper

Use paper to create a shape that can be traced onto the latex instead of freehanding your designs. This allows for additional review of pieces to ensure proper measurements without costing an arm and a leg.

Adhesive

Glue is used instead of sewing with a need and thread when making clothing and accessories out of latex. It is highly recommended to use a good-quality liquid cement as your adhesive.

Solvent / Thinner

Helps clean up your mistakes 😉

Polish

Dressing aid and shine.
