Behind every successful vinyl project is more than just great vinyl—it’s the crafting tools and accessories that help bring it all together. At Craft Avenue, we know that having the right tools makes all the difference when it comes to precision, ease, and professional results. Whether you’re working with Siser heat transfer vinyl (HTV) or Oracal adhesive vinyl, our collection of must-have tools is designed to elevate your crafting experience.

From vinyl weeding tools to heat resistant tape, Craft Avenue offers a carefully curated selection of essentials to help you get the job done right the first time.

Why the Right Crafting Tools Matter

Many DIYers and makers start with just a roll of vinyl and a dream—but quickly realize that success depends on more than just materials. The difference between frustration and flawless results often lies in the tools and accessories you’re using.

Here’s why it pays to invest in quality crafting tools:

  • Increased accuracy and cleaner lines

  • Faster workflow and less trial and error

  • Reduced material waste

  • Professional-looking finishes

Craft Avenue makes it easy to stock your craft room with tools that match your ambitions, whether you're designing a custom shirt, a farmhouse sign, or a multi-layered wall decal.

Our Top-Selling Crafting Tools & Accessories

Here are just a few of the vinyl crafting essentials our customers can’t live without:

1. Vinyl Weeding Tools

Clean, detailed designs start with proper weeding. Our ergonomic weeding tools are perfect for removing excess vinyl from intricate cuts—especially useful for small text and complex shapes.

2. Air Release Pen

Say goodbye to air bubbles! This precision tool is a game-changer for adhesive vinyl users. Just pierce and smooth with ease for a perfect finish on walls, signs, mugs, and more.

3. Transfer Tape

We offer a variety of transfer tape options to suit every project, including clear, gridded, and medium-tack tapes. Whether you're layering vinyl or applying a large decal, transfer tape ensures your designs stay aligned and intact during application.

4. Heat Resistant Tape

Working with Siser HTV or layered heat transfer vinyl? Our Siser heat resistant tape secures your vinyl in place while pressing, so your design doesn’t shift and ruin your work.

5. Sticky Mat

Bring your mats back to that "new" stickiness in minutes! Revitalize your Cricut Mats, Silhouette Mats, Scan N Cut Mats, and more, restoring them to their former glory with a single application.

6. Vinyl Adhesive Remover (VLR)

Made a mistake? No problem. VLR (vinyl adhesive remover) easily lifts heat transfer designs from fabric without damaging the garment, giving you the flexibility to fix and retry with confidence.

7. Colour Charts: Oracal & Siser

We carry Oracal color charts to help you plan your project down to the last detail. With accurate swatches in hand, you’ll never second-guess your colour choices again.
