Where do you buy your craft supplies?

I usually shop at Jo Ann Fabrics and sometimes Hobby Lobby. I also buy a ton of stuff from American Science and Surplus.

Micheals and a Vietnamese fabric store since they're cheaper.

Also TAPS if I need something plastic.

If I need industrial grade stuff I'd go to Home Depot or Lowes.

JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby are the basics.

I also use local stores, Micheal's, Wal-Mart, and Target.

Depends on what I'm crafting. A lot of my stuff has to be ordered online (apoxie sculpt, quick cast, etc).

Locally, I use Michael's, AC Moore's, Walmart, Harbor Freight, and the local hobby shop (who actually started carrying a certain style of polystyrene just for me)
