Craft supply sources

**Goodwin17** · 09-04-2008, 01:24 PM

I may end up doing some gifts in a jar this year for Christmas and possibly some homemade lip balms, bath salts, etc. I'd like to hear some ideas from everyone on the cheapest sources online or otherwise to buying supplies like mason jars, bath salt/lip balm containers, etc. Perhaps someplace where you can save by buying in bulk? Also a good source for buying craft supplies cheaply online.

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

I have used Oriental Trading Company for knick knacks and glass beads. Hate the name - so "non PC" it makes my hands itch to type it - but they have some great seasonal themed stuff.
