Jody of Sweet Bear Creek Whims has been crafting for many years and has a list of Tips and Hints for all crafters.
Here is a sampling:
1: Prevent thread from tangling- Run a threaded needle
through a sheet of Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the
thread.
2: Do you ever wonder how an artist will get such fine painted detail on a piece? They own a magnifying head piece. Yes, you do look like an alien from another planet, but it is a must when painting fine details such as eyes, eyelashes and more. The magnifyer fits right on your head, can be tightened and bring the item right up close! I wouldn't be without one... There are times when you may be caught by company or the UPS man unexpectidly with this thing on, yes it is a bit embarrassing!!

3: My absolute most favorite sculpting tool ever are the
Forsline And Starr Shapers, I do not know what I would do without them! They are
perfect tools for so many sculpting applications...JMHO
4: Stuffing is an art, not always easy to get a nice
smooth job done, but with practice it does come! My must have tool for this is
the Barbara Willis stuffing tools, this makes the job way easier!
5: I am a glue fan, have glue for every application, I
have tried them all and the winners are: Gripp, Fabri Tac and Beacon clear glue
and E6000, these can always be found in my craft room.
Thank you Jody for sharing a few of your tips here.

Great tips!!! Thanks so much for sharing. (I would like to see a pic wearing the head piece though.)
I will definitely have to try some of these. My mom always had one of those magnifying headpieces on, lol. Thanks for the blast from the past.
