Creative Ways to Save Money on Craft Supplies

Attention handmade business owners! Are you tired of overspending on craft supplies without even realizing it? If so, this video is for you!
Join me as I talk about the common trap than many of us crafters fall into: the rabbit hole of spending on crafting materials just because we don't want to run out on supplies or because we're simply obsessed with crafting.
In this video, I'll address the following questions:
• Is buying supplies in bulk truly cost-effective?
• Where can you score unique and creative materials for your projects?
• Can digital tools help enhance your handmade products?
Plus, I'll share some tips on how to spend less in getting amazing craft materials.
No matter your strategy for saving money on your supplies, I applaud you for making a conscious choice of investing wisely in your craft and your business.
Let's develop smarter spending habits together!

Another option is checking if you live near a Freecycle community. We've received several supplies from tiny seed beads to sewing machines. The best part is it's all free.

That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

I get 90% of my embroidery thread from physical supply stores that are closing down and selling what's left of their stock online. I had to get familiar with the color catalog of every thread brand out there, but it's so worth it!

Oh yes, I love going in search of certain materials in the charity shops close to me (I live in London) and there’s a street where there are 10 charity and junk and thrift shops, and a cheap street market. I even look in dumpsters! 😂 I have found amazing things in dumpsters, a Burberry scarf was my latest find. Online it came up as £300/$400. On top of the dumpster, no lie.

You're lucky to have all these shops close to you. Oh wow, that's an unexpected place to find a Burberry scarf!

All I have to do is look around at all the yarn I have. That stops me in my tracks.
