scrapbooking

In my last article, I went over some great places to find materials for your next scrapbooking project, many of which were found in the home. While the home is a good spot to find these materials, sooner or later you’re going to run out of places to look and things to use in your albums.

To get ahold of more cheap scrapbooking supplies, I have come up with one or two more ideas to get additional materials for your next album.

Digital Resources

One place that I have overlooked in my earlier articles is the Internet. This is a gold mine of places to get free and very cheap materials.

I am really not talking about shopping for your materials from online craft shops, I am referring to websites where users just give away stuff absolutely free.

There are numerous sites, like Freecycle, where folks have odds and ends they’re delighted to give away freely. These are often such items as televisions and appliances that are no longer used, but occasionally folks give away boxes of materials, stitching items and additional fabric that is now not used.

Keep your eyes peeled and you can truly grab some good stuff.

scrapbooking Swaps

This is one of my best techniques of getting inexpensive and free scrapbooking materials. If you have a bunch of friends or folks inquisitive about cheap scrapbooking, then you need to really think about organizing a scrapbooking swap.

This is a meet where everyone brings a box or boxes of left over materials, scraps and odds and ends and lays them out on one of the tables at the meet, or if there is no room, just leaves the box open for people to look through.

You then go around the tables and other peoples boxes and take the items and materials you can find a use for.

This is a great way to get cheap scrapbooking materials, dispose of some things that you can’t use and meet new friends (or catch up with old mates) and also its a lot of fun!

So there you have it, a few more great ideas to get some more cheap scrapbooking materials. I’m sure you cannot wait to use them!
