Plier Supplies
When it comes to sewing and crafting, having the right set of pliers is essential. GoldStar Tool carries pliers for every crafting need.
At GoldStar Tool, we carry several types of pliers, including grommet pliers and pliers for plastic snaps. Also, check out our leather holsters, which make it easy to keep track of your pliers when you’re working on projects.
Craft Snipe Nose Pliers
Also known as long nose pliers or chain nose pliers, these are here to get into the small jump rings, shaping wires, and holding small items while you are working. They have small, tapered noses to get into those super small, awkward spaces. If you need to crimp a wire, small nose pliers are the supply for you!
Craft Compound Action Pliers
These pliers will help you cut and bend wires with ease. They are used to make wired ornaments or jewelry/beading projects. They are extremely durable and can be used for light upholstery, signs, crafts, or in place of scissors when you need some extra strength to cut through.
Craft End Nipper Pliers
If you are looking for the perfect pliers for your floral crafts, these are your item! They are ideal for cutting soft wires or pulling brad nails. If you want, you can also use these for your jewelry or beading projects. These are more of a medium-duty, they can cut through layers of papers, foams, or poster boards.
Shears
The next thing on your list should be a good pair of shears or scissors. These will help you get nice, clean edges on your fabric. You can skimp on these, but it is always best to invest in a good pair of scissors. These will make sure that your fabric doesn’t fray.
Paper scissors are also important. When making patterns, you will need to cut your paper properly. For these, you can get away with a less expensive pair of scissors as the paper is meant to cut easily and won’t fray.
Pins
Straight, glass head pins come in most sewing kits. They are necessary because they hold the fabric in place together so that stitching will be easy. You will want to invest in glass head pins so that if you are pressing over with an iron, they won’t melt on the fabric.
Pincushions
You will also need a pincushion. These will help keep all your pins in place so that you don’t lose your pins. You will also be able to easily find and grab your pins as you need them throughout your sewing process. If you want to make your own pincushion, check out our tutorial here!
Other Notions
GoldStar Tools carries everything you need for your sewing kit. We are the nation’s top independent retailer of fashion and sewing supplies, carrying everything from grommets and buttons to pattern-making tools.
Aside from the basics of needles and thread, you will also want to ensure that your craft sewing kit includes a seam ripper, tape measure, fabric marker or tailor’s chalk, and a flexible ruler. Point turners and seam gauges are other indispensable sewing tools.
Everyone makes mistakes when sewing; without a seam ripper, taking out your seams without ruining the fabric is impossible. With a seam ripper, you can quickly fix any mistakes, redo an old project, and make it new again. There’s a seam ripper for every job, from small seam rippers with extra fine blades to take out tiny stitches to deluxe seam rippers that are perfect for quilters. Seam rippers will get dull over the years, so our experts recommend getting a new one every 2-3 years.
Tape measures and rulers are simple and easy-to-find tools. They don’t have to be anything special, just long enough to take accurate measurements. Having a ruler flexible enough to bend around your forms is the only way to take proper measurements, though, so they are a must-have sewing essential.
Tailor’s chalk or fabric markers will help you mark the fabric so you know where to make cuts, incisions, and even straight hems. You will want to make sure that your fabric maker or tailor’s chalk can be removed easily without leaving actual marks on the fabric.
