Floral Wire or Tape

This one was a tie because you really need both in your kit if you’re working with silk flowers or making DIY centerpieces. With floral wire, you can use it to secure flowers, stems, and more! Floral tape will help you hide the wire and edges, so your set up looks professional and all the flowers are secure.

Hot Glue Gun

Of course, this one is a must-have! Use your glue gun on the low setting to connect balloons for a stunning balloon mosaic or fix any last minute decorations that have come undone. You can also use glue dots for any smaller fixes, or if you don’t have access to an electric outlet.

Scissors/Wire Cutters/Pliers

We are always reaching for our scissors when working on a DIY projects! it’s also necessary to have wire cutters on hand, especially if working with silk flowers as they will help you cut the stems much faster.

DIY Tool Box

This one seems so simple but often left to the last minute, and that’s a storage solution! Having a portable ready-to-go box with all your craft supplies is so essential to have. We love using portable carts too! Try an art tool box or even a make-up box, anything with compartments for smaller DIY tools will work best.
