| Here are several tools I use all the time: Hand clippers bought at any garden center. Hand or Electric hedge trimmers for a large project also bought at any garden center. It looks like you have only little projects so you will not need these yet. Small pointed sharp scissors for little places. I use sewing scissors I bought at a flea market. Medium and Large pointed sharp scissors with a comfortable hand grip. I bought mine at Office Depo. Different size crochet needles for pulling little stems into position. You could raid you mom's sewing basket or buy these at Walmart. |
