Paper cutter, actually. It's so very basic, but I can't cut a straight line to save my life!
That's my second choice, followed by my round corner punch & adhesive tape lol.
awesome!! i love my paper cutter/scorer... i use it sooo much and i don't think i'd be happy without it lol!! do glue dots count as a tool? because i don't think i could live without them either
If I had one, I'd imagine that a crisscut would be AWESOME! Of course I'm a sucker for paper cutouts in any capacity so...
ahh thanks for reminding me! I've been meaning to pick up a bone folder for awhile now. I agree that the corner rounder is definitely on my list. I'm really a big fan of rubber cement - I love that if I place something in the wrong place, I can peel it off before it dries and rub off the excess glue. Haha, and I really like "painting" it on.
@melodic... i use a ms adhesive that has a built in roller for all of my decoupaging! i LOVE it... but i really want to get mod podge to see how that works out... i suppose i'll see if i like it or not!
@melodic: it's WONDERFUL!!! it is sort of like a more sophisticated glue stick... but you have to be careful not to put too much on and to wipe the excess off.
I love my bone folder! I picked one up when I was making the pockets for our hallowedding invitations. They really make your folds look professional!
I'm absolutely loving my cricut atm. I know it's more of a gadget than a tool, but I'm trying to find a use for it for eeeverything!
yeah what is a bone folder, I am beginging to think its something awesome that I must have (if I knew what it was/ did!)
A bone folder is used to score your paper to create a professional looking crease. Your fold is so crisp... you could never achieve the same look by just using your hands. It makes folding a quicker & easier process :) Just grab your ruler, run the BF across the paper & fold!
If you're lining your envelopes it will help ensure that your envelopes will still have a crisp fold vs a "bulky" one...
Bone folders are fantastic, but TEFLON folders are really the way to go!! They don't burnish your paper or smear ink. FANTASTIC!!
Bone scorers are fantastic. I have done a lot of large-scale paper sculptures in the past, and they're essential. :p
I own many - all different shapes, different sizes. They are great for so many things!! Ah the joys of being an artist and designer. I definitely recommend them to everyone!!
I really thought I could get away with running my nail down every fold...but it sounds like a bone folder is a worthy investment! Thanks for sharing. Now I know what to use this week's Michael's coupon on. : )
I love my "bone" folder! I picked mine up at the local artist supply store in a beautiful hard wood for $1.80! It works just as well as my friends bone folder, but my wooden one is more pleasing to look at (for me anyhow).
I am finding I cannot live without a self-healing cutting mat, scissors, and my bone folder. Unless a printer counts as a tool and not machine...cause I can't live without that either!

I just picked up the Martha Stewart bone folder for a little under $5 (thank you 40% off coupon!)
Um, why are people not spreading the news about this fantastic little tool?? I'm a new crafter & never knew this existed. I LOVE IT & have come up with a gazillion uses for it just on my ride home!
If there was one crafting tool you couldn't live without- what would it be??
