The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

When I was young I was always drawing, cutting, pasting and creating something. Christmas and birthday presents were always painstakingly made candles in tea cups, fabric covered notebooks or personalised painted mugs (of the highly sophisticated kind). Sadly all that seems to have been lost along the way…

So it is with great pleasure that I will be dedicating Tuesday’s to craft projects and style ideas. I am weaning us in with an ‘Everyday Supplies List’ from Black Eiffel which if kept replenished goes a long way to making a small package, letter or envelope that extra bit special.

1. Glassine bags have numbers of uses from organizing to sending delicate letters.
2 & 12. Keep full sheets of label paper around and cut them down for all sorts of label shapes. UK Version.
3. White baker’s twine*
4. Mini clothespins*
5. Custom rubber stamps
6. Everyone’s favorite Japanese masking tape
7. Cotton Muslin bags
8. Muji square paperclips
9. Flat brown bags you can run through your printer
