Other things you may need can be found around the house or outside: Rocks or shells, toothpicks, paper scraps/magazines/newspapers/old books/old music books, yarn, sponges, cotton balls, string, paper towels, water, jars or cups for water, sticks, leaves and so on. Improvise and using what you have around is what I'm always doing. I'll help you think of supply alternatives if your missing something. Also, I try to find the best supplies at the lowest cost, but you may want to check stores near you for sales, coupons, and better prices.
