🎠Top 5 Tools Every Beginner Mas Maker Needs
Welcome to the world of Carnival costume building !
If you’re just getting started, here are the core essentials every beginner should have in their toolkit:
1. Wire Cutters
For trimming aluminum wire used in backpacks, wings, collars, and headpieces.
Tip: Flush-cut cutters make cleaner edges.
2. Needle-Nose Pliers
Helps you bend, shape, and twist wire with control.
Tip: Go for pliers with comfortable rubber grips.
3. Fabric Scissors
For cutting trims, elastic, appliqués, and fabrics.
Tip: Keep one pair ONLY for fabric to stay sharp.
4. Gem Glue / Industrial Adhesive
Essential for attaching gems, appliqués, and detailed embellishments.
Tip: Use Gem-Tac for fabric + E6000 for heavy gems.
5. Hot Glue Gun (High-Temp)
Perfect for feather layering, fast fixes, and lightweight embellishing.
Tip: High-temp glue sticks hold better and last longer.
