Here's a clever little tool that I've used for various projects around the site. The Xyron Create-A-Sticker allows you to turn paper, and thin materials in to stickers quickly and easily. Simply feed a piece of paper through the sticker maker, pull down on the sticker cartridge and out slips your sticker. They come in various sizes to suit your need, but I find that the handy mini version does all of the jobs that I need it to.

Use it to create cute packaging or make pretty DIY bindis.

Everyone from Craft Gossip to Craft Zine seems to be talking about the new craft tool, the Crop-A-Dile from We R Memory Keepers.

I was lucky enough to pick one up while on holiday in Canada and I've been using it for all kinds of projects since. The heavy-duty punch seems to be able to punch through almost anything and the Crop-A-Dile can even install snaps and grommets.

Julia Stanton has written a great review for it on her blog, so check it out and find out if this is the tool for you.
