Inexpensive Craft Supplies

If you like to craft, check out garage sales. You never know what you might find. I have found cross-stitch hoops,felt,sewing thread,zippers,bias tape,ribbon & trim,yarn, all kinds of patterns & craft booklets for a fraction of what they would cost at a craft store(most not even used). You just need to keep an eye out for something you could use down the road. And don't forget to bargain with the seller because they don't want to take it back into the house!! LOL!!

I know what you mean you can find craft and sewing supplies a lot cheaper at garage/yard sales and thrift stores. Great places to help your crafting budget. As well as dollar stores like Dollar Tree and such.

You can also use freecycle.com, put a free add to see who wants to donate craft supplies,craigslist.com you can see who is selling items and list for free your wanted ad.

I have received a few things from our local freecycle.

I also love our local art and craft shop, they have a scheme where regulars get 10% off their total
