You will also need:

- some sort of flush cut pliers to cut zip ties
- choice of ribbon any ribbon will do.

Optional

- zip tie puller ( i did not have one and found out about them after, but really only get on if u are making ALOT of these kinds of things)

- 3d resin printer (i have one so i made use of it. YOU don't need this to make something cool, you could use Sculpey clay, or even plastic fish tank corals or props for some of the resin printed things.)

-Beads,glitter and or other embellishments! It's all totally up to YOU!
- fabric like tule or organza or other sheer fancy fabric
