2. Use an old mouse pad for paper piercing to protect your work surface.
3. Secure baby wipes to old mats with eyelets to use as stamp cleaners.
4. Use nail files for distressing papers.
5. Use dental floss threaders to pull ribbon through holes.
6. Use a Silpat sheet (made for cooking) for embossing to protect work surface.
7. Use photo protectors to store clear, acrylic stamps.
8. Use an old electric skillet for melting UTEE.
9. Use over the door shoe organizers for storing punches and other supplies.
