Daiso Finds!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some exciting things I found at Daiso. It's essentially a Japanese dollar store, and carries everything from chopsticks to snacks to.. craft supplies! I was looking around the store the other day as my friend went to go buy Hi-Chews (AKA the most delicious Asian candy I have ever had) and I happened upon the craft section. It's incredible! There are so many things in there that would be FAR more expensive any where else - like exacto knives, beautiful papers (not just origami paper), and sewing kits. The coolest thing I found, though, is felting wool! Also known as wool roving, this is the exact same stuff I used in my earlier tutorial on dryer balls - just MUCH cheaper. I have yet to actually try a project with it, but I'm very excited that I got such a nice quantity for such a low price - each package I bought was $1.50, while the same amount from Etsy or another online source would likely run ~$5. I've included some pictures below of my haul and a closeup of the packaging.


I highly suggest going to check out your local stores! Enjoy, and happy crafting!

      Embarrassing MYSELF? You're the adult woman attempting to intimidate a 17-year-old high school student. Look at the situation: I had this blog for about two weeks and haven't posted since early January. Clearly if I was trying to challenge your trademark I would have put a bit more effort into it? Get off your high horse and look at the facts. "Shame on you" and your condescending, arrogant attitude.
