Make your own Basic Tool Kit to go

20160217_215443You’ll be ready to grab and go with this tool kit. All the essentials, each held in its own special place. Bring your own adhesive? Ready! No more waiting for the Paper Snips. Traveling? Grab a stamp set and card stock and you’ve got it all.I made my first Basic Tool kit for my Getting Started Challenge and found that I loved having these tools ready to go. I initially dumped all the tools in the case, but perhaps you’ve seen that I like organization. 🙂  So I added a pocket here and a magnet there. This is what I have now.Basic Tool Kit Instructions and Placement GuideBasic Tool Kit Case Insert
In addition to the supplies and tools from Stampin’ Up! you will need an alligator clip (in the electrical department), a paint edger refill pad, and Gorrilla Super Glue Gel from your hardware store.From an office store you will need small sticky notes and a pen or pencil less than 5″ long.You will also need an empty hand sanitizer sprayer. Mine is about 1/2″ diameter and 5″ long.Magnet Source: K & J Magnetics  I bought their 3/8″ x 1/32″ Disc Magnets, D601. You wig story ll need at least 9, but I suggest you buy extra. You may decide you want a firmer hold and you’ll want to use 2 magnets for some tools. These magnets are also fabulous as box or bag closures, etc.
