    eBay is probably your best bet.

    Hi

    I was wondering if anyone buys or know the best and cheapest way/place to buy craft items eg card toppers, paint, wooden shapes/boxes etc.

    I have spent hours searching the internet and there are so many l know but this is the first time l have done this as it is a new project l have been asked to source them cheaply.

    Many thanks

    What kind of project you are talking about? I mean, do you need items for making project? If yes, the please let me know about the project so that I can assist you!

    I am in EU and order crafts items online both from UK and USA even with post costs added is still cheaper than buying in EU shops. Just keep under the 22 euro and avoid having to pay extra customs tax etc.

    I find Amazon, ebay and poundland the most cost effective for buying craft items. I also have made some great charity shop finds that I have then been able to decorate and upcycle. Recycling is a good plan too. I do glass decorating and ask friends and relatives t collect jars and bottles for me to redecorate.
