- Tape
- Calculator (to determine sales tax)
- Tools to adjust your work for the customer
- A Square reader or other credit card reader
- Any other “office” supplies
- Table covering that flows to the floor to cover anything stored under the table
- Snacks & water
- An inventory sheet
- Scissors
- Screwdriver/tools
- Garbage bag
- A notepad for custom orders
- Change to give customers paying cash

Other items that are key for helping customers connect with you are:

- Signage on the table about your unique wares or process
