From polymer clay for tiny food, to wood for furniture pieces, and crochet thread for blankets, here are the lists of my favorite tools for making miniature items, separated by category. Some of the links are affiliate links at no extra cost to you.
Safety is very important, so always wear protective gear when using machinery and handling resin.

Although a lot of my tutorials reference Sculpey III polymer clay, Sculpey Premo and Fimo clay are the better clays to invest in that are still usually available at your local craft store. I have amassed a HUGE store of Sculpey III clay that I need to use.
