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.
