Although it will be a blast, all the crafting I plan on doing will not be cheap. Before I actually get started on my projects, I think it is important to find cost-efficient ways of obtaining my materials. I composed a list of four websites that sell craft and hobby supplies for reasonable prices. The websites are:
Save On Crafts is “DIY Elegance On A Budget.” They sell classy, elegant, discounted supplies for scrapbooking, decoupage, rubber-stamping, paper crafts, jewelry making, and other general crafts. This site is perfect for sophisticated projects, especially home decor.
Two words: bulk discounts!
This site also offers a blog called “Think Crafts” that posts new projects and how-to’s every day! This will be a great resource to guide me for my blog.

We all remember flipping through Oriental Trading Co.’s catalogues and fantasizing about all the cool (and probably useless) things we could buy for our birthday parties. It was just recently that I realized they sell crafting supplies too! A lot of their products are geared towards kids, but I’m sure I’ll encounter some projects where that is exactly what I need.
This self-proclaimed “largest online arts and crafts supply store” will come in very handy for me this year. They sell a huge variety of crafting supplies and also offer bulk discounts. They also have a Member’s Club for frequent buyers who want to save even more.
I also plan on buying some of my materials from Elk Grove's local craft stores: Jo-Ann, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby. Each store has an app that features a daily savings coupon that can be used once a day, every day. I can also find some useful materials at the local Dollar Tree, which will save tons of money and force me to use my imagination a bit more.
Now that I've found some money-saving resources, I can't wait to get started on my first project this week!
LOVE these links buddy!
