How Do You Find Inexpensive Arts And Crafts Supplies For The Hobbyist?
Enjoying a hobby or several hobbies revolving around arts and crafts is enjoyable and fulfilling. It’s also expensive! All of those purchases of yarn, canvases, and beads add up. If arts and crafts hobbyists keep their eyes open there are some surprising resources for inexpensive supplies. It’s a bit like a treasure hunt! One place to check for free supplies is your local library. If your library gives away old magazines or sells their old books you are in luck! You can stock up on plenty of printed material for very little money or no money at all. The magazines and books can be used in collage, mixed media and altered art. Join your local freecycle group. Check out www.freecycle.org to find out how to join the group in your area. You never know when someone might be giving away a bag of fabric scraps perfect for your next project. Likewise check out craigslist at craigslist.org to see what’s being offered for sale or being given away in your area. Find gems at your neighbors’ garage
