In the wide world of crafting, weeding isn’t an event relegated specifically to the garden. Now, of course, it is true that when crafters get down to the business of weeding, they are in fact ridding the pesky and unwanted from their work, but when hobbyists use the term, it’s generally in reference to removing excess vinyl and heat transfer from a little piece of vinyl work.

And as anyone who’s worked with the medium of vinyl knows, the right weeding tools for vinyl can propel your craft work to the next level. Without question, the right tools give your vinyl work an unmistakably professional quality, making even the greenest rookies appear just as vinyl-savvy as veteran vinylers who may be equipped with inferior tools.
