I didn't bring my iPad and I'm bored so I'm just gonna dump a bunch of stationery and crafting stuff. A lot of this stuff is just gonna be stuff I learned when making my merch (outside of the acrylics).

If you want to fold paper without it crinkling the paper so it looks smooth, you can use a method called "scoring". Depending on the paper, you can either fold the paper and run a scoring bone/anything flat like a ruler across the fold OR (what I prefer doing, and better for thicker paper) align your ruler against the area you want to fold, and run a cutter across lightly (not enough to cut. If your cutter is sharp, you can just lightly drag it across the paper) and fold it.

Please note that the 2nd method is only for closing paper the opposite direction you cut it (closing away from you) if that makes sense.

Midori paper is one of the best fucking papers I've ever used. Doesn't bleed across multiple papers (will show on the back of course, though) when I used fountain pen ink + their notepads are really good. The top and right are glued rather than just the top or side only, which I really like.

They also have a journal where if you finish a page, you can tear off the corner to note where you are currently at in your journal.

If you do a lot of gluing, just get a double sided tape runner. They look like correction tapes but it's filled with double sided tape instead.

There is a pencil sharpener called the Kutsuwa Stad T'Gaal where it can adjust your pencil length.

I do actually have the desk version but this seems to be uncommon + to be honest, the smaller version (above) seems to be more reliable since this one is kind of flimsy for adjusting?

There's another version of a hole puncher called a screw punch. I believe that the company Nonaka Works invented it? Basically it's a tool where you push down the tool against the material and it'll cut a hole. It can go through a lot of materials including cardstock, but if you need to punch through a lot of layers of paper without destroying your hands, this has been a very useful tool for me. There are a lot of knock offs though so be wary. The original Nonaka Works screw punch should have "Screw Punch Made in Japan" engraved on the gold part of the tool.

If you're cutting a bunch of paper with straight ends, get a paper guillotine. I have a tiny one for my backing cards and it saves me from killing my arm.

Also last thing for you artists/shop owners. Standard business card sizes are 2 inches by 3.5 inches. You can use other sizes but I just want to mention that, since I collect business cards and put them in my case that only fits 2 inches by 3.5 inches or smaller. Margins (area between the content and edge of the page) should be 0.125-0.25 inches and bleed (border outside of the edge. This is required if you are doing double sided business cards so that there wont be white space when you cut it) is 0.125 inches
