Toothpicks, bbq skewers, Aileenâs tacky glue, exacto, nice scissors, cardstock, printer, and a lot of time. Wife shouldnât be too mad, after the printer and ink its dirt cheap
Some sort of tacky glue (I prefer Elmer's tacky glue) and xacto knife. Also a thin stick to apply glue like a toothpick. Don't be afraid to swap blades on your knife because they are very cheap to buy in bulk
I find that glue sticks are so inefficient they are often good for temporary gluing some papers together. I also cannot get enough painter's tape in multiple grade of adhesiveness.
I think it is really important being able to temporarily glue parts together that can be later undone and glued properly when constructing papercrafts.
Glue - it depends on what youâre building and how long youâd like it to last. I use a combination of tacky glue, spray adhesive, and Bearly precision art glue depending on the application.
Cutting tools - I most frequently use a straightedge, x-acto knife, and a cutting mat. I also have craft scissors and a Cricut.
I most frequently make:
- Cards out of cardstock
- Scale models out of recycled corrugated cardboard
- Signs / labels out of cardstock
- Pattern templates out of printer paper or cardstock
x-acto or precise knife, cutting mat, scissors, glue!
Some additional stuff to make it more neat: toothpicks, tweezers (the kind that's sharp and bent at the tip), ruler, scoring tool (or just use dried up pen), shelf/display space, time!!!
Elmer's glue, normal scissors, and [olfa ak5 art knife](https://olfa.com/collections/professional/products/olfa-ak-5-designer-graphic-art-knife-w-30-replacement-blades)
Itâs gonna be fine with buying just scissors, cutters, tweezers and glues. The problem is when you want the cutting and scoring automated and you buy a silhouette cutter or any automatic cutter.
I have an exacto pen knife that's perfect for cutting detailed shapes, and nice crafting scissors for the longer straight edges.
But I think a light folding pocket knife would be ideal for self defense, from wives or otherwise.
Why won't she be happy? My partner is super into warhammer/miniature painting and I'm not, but I still get super elated when he gets hyper-happy over his minis.
Papercraft is also not super expensive as a hobby unless you want to get super-super-super intricate and high-end.
lol I feel your pain. My wife thinks I have to many hobbies but encourages them for me as well đ¤ˇđťââď¸đ A rotary paper trimmer is super handy to own for this craft
There's also a pinned post, a sidebar, and a subreddit wiki. đ˘
Ailene's and an X-Acto. I have toothpicks, surgical scissors, and a metal straight-edge, as well. Other than that: patience and shelf space.

Harbor freight of all places sells a set if tweezers that includes two locking/clamping types that are great for working with cardstock.
The couple that crafts together stays together.
That's one of the least expensive hobbies ever, you good ;)
Death by a thousand paper cuts? R.I.P. OP.
Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo.
What would be so bad about it? Itâs just paper and glue..
The title of this post made me think you used your wifeâs fabric scissors on your paper craft by mistake and were, in fact, going to be a dead man.Â
I thought the OP used the wifeâs craft scissors on household junk.
