What are the weird, odd and out of place tools and accessories you use while making patterns (whether it be bracelet making, cross stitch, crochet, etc)?

I have a tie between pliers (to tighten my cross stitch hoops and add jump rings to keychains) or nail clippers (to cut plastic canvas corners to round out corners). Those two definitely stick out compared to my typical cross stitch tools 😂

LOL I forgot the old prescription bottles used as mini trash cans for my scraps. That really makes me look crazy in public 😂 😂 😂

Bottles, plural...? I admit, I might raise the slightest of eyebrows if I were to witness anyone with a bandolier belt of them across their chest, into which they were depositing scraps of thread according to color, texture and thickness. 🤔

I've discovered that using the toothpick end of a plastic dental flosser can at times be a better surgical implement for undoing an erroneous knot than the standard safety pin.

I use my desk to measure strings. I was starting to feel annoyed to always have to use my rulers so I figured why not make marks on the edge of my desk for each 10 cm and use them to measure strings.
