I Need Supplies!

I dont have a huge supply of matterials and Im trying to make it grow on a buget. Does anyone have and ideas where I should go to look for supplies. Ive been picking things up here and there when my local craft stores are having sales but recently they havent had anything on sale I could use.

So where is the best place you guys have found to get matterials from?

Here in The Netherlands we have a store called Action and the sell all kinds stuff for low prices. That's were I buy most my of crafting materials. And I look at other low budgetshops for things I can use.
Sometimes I look at Ebay to buy beads for a friend of mine.

Target $1 bins are awesome! Esp for seasonal things.

Dollar tree is cheap, everything is $1 if you go AFTER a holiday its even cheaper! Alot of it is quality goods, just surplus.

Also try Michaels they usually have $1-$5 bins and when you check out you get a 40% off coupon for next time. Also their scrapbook paper goes on sale for 7/$1

www.Craigslist.com is great for old furniture you want to recycle/upcycle. Check out the free section! www.freecycle.com is the same concept but everything is free. Happy

I will try to think of more. Hope this helps!

I agree with Felecity. I go to dollar tree for a few craft supplies, they have a pack of felt sheets (black,white,red,AND green) for 1 dollar. Jo-Ann's fabric and craft store has a ton of really great fabrics and are usually on sale. Plus, you can sign up online for their mailing list and they send you awesome coupons.. for you and a friend. They are great. I also go to wal-mart alot :p they have Sculpey oven-bake clay for $10 it comes with a nice amount of 12 different colored clays. so good. Other than that, all dollar stores and thrift shops are always good to just check out.
hehe hope that helps <3

Dollar Tree! I hadnt even thought of that!! I love the 1$ bins at Target they always have super cute stuff! I dont think I am thrifting in the right places because my local goodwill hasnt had anything good.

The cragslist idea and that other website is a gerat idea! Happy Im going to have to check out that free one for sure!

i would give ebay a go
i've just got myself a load of new stuff from there and only paid £22 for all that i got , if i'd got it in the shops it would have been about 4 times or maybe 5 times as much
