    Watch me create an abandoned library inside of a book. I'll show you a new chipped paint technique you probably haven't seen before.
    Some of my favorite things:
    Double-sided flooring tape
    amzn.to/423tJwL
    Miter Shears: these are the clippers I use to cut pieces of wood and toothpicks, etc
    amzn.to/3sQJnhe
    Dirty Down Rust Effect paint
    amzn.to/3xjxOBu
    Oyu Pla/Oyumaru reusable mold putty
    amzn.to/44KaaJz
    Cheaper, clear mold putty I haven't tried
    amzn.to/45JiAlB
    2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zmMLR1
    8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zpiMbm
    Heat gun: I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture, and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. It gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.
    amzn.to/3YBAIcH
    Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
    amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
    Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch
    amzn.to/3O5nYI6

    Normally those types of box cutters have a double sided blade. The other side may be sharper so just turn it around. Also some box cutters have extra blades stored inside them.
