More craft store finds
Thanks for the tips. I will be looking for more helpful craft store items.
Cool! Crafts store here I come!
Great ideas. Always looking for this kind of information.
There’s a nice selection of wooden parts, metal, wire, etc. at craft shops too…I am a ‘regular’ at our local store. Fun place to hang out.
Great use of the Sharpie markers. Always useful information here.
Hello; Great ideas. Went to the dollar store and bought some eye shadow makeup in earth tones, works great! Try it.
I have found alot of useful items at craft stores. They carry lots of stickers which make excellent building signs, etc. I recently purchased some wooden peg axles which made great smokejacks for a roundhouse I was working on. They would also work great for roof top vents.
Nice piece! Cody brings some insight from MR where I’ve always liked his articles. This one crosses all scales in terms of finding low cost materials and tool. Very helpful!
I learned something here. You have to have an imagination when you walk in a store like that- or a garage sale or anywhere else.
great ideas the wife & I are always looking for things to enhance the layout always open to more.
Love the ideas…simple but practical.
Can I ask for some help. I am using wheat lamps to light my Plasticville structures and would like to cover the windows with a frosted thin plastic to defuse the light. 3M scotch tape works on small windows but it will not last very long. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I have been unable to find a supplier or store that can satisfy my needs.
