Favorite Craft Supplies

Since a lot of my blogs include craft projects I decided to do a blog on the basic materials I use for a lot of my blogs.
One major material that I have used in multiple blogs is a plastic craft sheet that can be found at Walmart for about ten dollars.  You may not even have to buy one, just use a large, old towel to prevent your floor from getting paint, glitter, or any other mess made from doing projects get on the floor.  For me this is the most important thing you use to do your projects.
Another material I use a lot, is brushes.  These are black foam brushes that are used for applying polyurethane onto wood, but in cheer leading we used it for varsity and homecoming signs.  I would get these in each size, they are extremely useful when you want to paint large letters or a large space. Black foam brushes are found at Walmart, a twenty pack of one inch brushes is only five dollars and thirty-one cents!
A lot of my blogs also include painting, and my favorite paint to use for crafts is Tempera paint, which is found at Micheal's and Walmart, a sixteen fluid ounce bottle is only two dollars! The paint removed with water and soap, so if it gets on your clothes don't worry about it!
I haven't done a lot of blogs with puffy paint, but in the past I've made splatter pictures and used puffy paint on shirts. I also found puffy paint at Walmart, a twelve pack for ten dollars.
For glue I like to use Mod Podge instead of Elmer's because it is cheap (sixteen fluid ounces for seven dollars at Walmart), and is a great glue for crafts!
Then, of course, I have glitter, which I have used for homecoming signs, and for making a glitter jar! This costs seven dollars for a sixteen ounce bottle at Walmart.
So those are some basic materials I find very useful, (and reasonably priced), when doing craft projects.
