A laser or inkjet printer that can print on cardstock heavy paper is necessary or access to an office store that can print for you.

Cardstock

Heavy weight white 110 lb index card stock paper makes each paper craft more sturdy. Acid-free to keep from yellowing as it ages and a brightness level of 94 which makes colors bright. One ream is 250 sheets and suitable for both laser or inkjet printers.

Bone Folder

Made of real bone, this folder tool helps with scoring the paper for a crisp fold line. You can also use the back of a butter knife that is rounded. A simple metal paper clip also works well.

More Info

Ruler

The ruler is used with the scorer and the knife to keep lines straight. A thin metal ruler for a long cut is the best choice. A clear ruler with a metal edge is also helpful to line up your cut or score line.

Utility Knife

A light duty utility knife is the best choice since you don't have to worry about losing the cap and sticking yourself. The blade slides out and can be snapped off when dull for an always sharp edge. Cuts where scissors can't and best for straight lines. Very sharp blade so use with caution.

Self-Healing Cutting Mat

A cutting mat underneath your project will protect your furniture. You could use some cardboard or a few pieces of paper underneath but they will both get cut up into shreds when using the knife. The self-healing in the mat are layers of plastic that keep a smooth surface after every cut. The best size is 9x12 .

More Info

Scissors

Cut rounded shapes by turning the paper into the scissors and cut slowly. You can also use scissors to cut out the whole printable if you're not comfortable with the craft knife. Sharp pointed ends allow cutting into tight corners. Small or medium sizes work best.

Pen

A standard ball point pen helps to curl paper into different rounded or smooth shapes. The rounded end rolls the paper. The pen can be combined with a paper clip to have 2 tools in one by making your own pen scoring tool. You can even use a “dead” pen to make creases in paper.

Double-Sided Tape

I personally use 1/2" double sided tape instead of glue since it's instant, neater, and easier to work with. Although, some glue may be needed to close a box or to correctly position parts together. All RomantiCraft exclusive paper crafts are designed for assembly with tape first and glue second. Use what you have.

More Info

Glue Stick

Wrinkle free and acid free are the best so the paper does not yellow. After applying, hold the parts together for a minute to allow the glue to dry properly. Slide and position the part before drying. Glue is also best for small triangle tabs around a circle or cylinder part.

More Info

Storage Case

Store all your paper craft supplies in one place so they are easy to find when you need them. Three top pockets hold all your tools and the zippered interior stores the cutting mat and ruler. Most paper crafts can be completed on your lunch break so you can take this on the go.
