Another way to get more for your money in your crafting business is to find materials in creative ways. Jewelers can cut up old necklaces and earrings for supplies, fabric artists can find new life in old clothes, and there's inspiration everywhere you look!

Use freecycle or etsyrecycle to find things that people don't use or want for free. Once I got a giant box of ribbon from etsy recycle for just the cost of shipping!
