I have purposely kept the supply list as simple and inexpensive as I can. I suggest buying the more expensive items at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s using their 40% coupon, or ordering through Amazon.
These are supplies I will be using during class, please don’t feel obligated to purchase anything upfront or spend money if you have a similar product already. Simply use what you have.
(Some items below are Amazon affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, I will be paid a small commission – at no additional cost to you.)
