Bluedark Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hi - I am having a little hiccup with my baker Ross order of self adhesive gems, foam shapes etc. I urgently need to get craft supplies for a Christmas fair that is running on Wednesday. Is there a shop in the area that I can get these from? I can drive. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks all!

minder Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 If you can get to a Tiger, Poundland or The Works you could pick up some Christmas bits. I get all my crafty bits from them and the Lewisham Centre has all these under one roof (went there last week) and they had plenty but was going fast! The ELC (in Mothercare branches) sometimes has Christmas crafty bits in store but then again it's always pot luck on which store has what.

cactus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Cowling & Wilcox in Camberwell. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/86161-christmas-craft-supplies-where-can-i-get-them-not-online/#findComment-935893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine sky Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I agree re the Lewisham Tiger/ Poundland/ Works combo. I got some great bits for a children's craft club a couple of weeks ago. However, when I went Tuesday last week to top up, they had run out of a lot of stuff. Unless they have restocked since then, I think you might be safer going to Hobbycraft in Charlton. It's more expensive but will def have stuff you can use... The other place that might be worth trying on the way is Toys R Us on the Old Kent Rd. Again more expensive but they do have stickers and bits!

Bluedark Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thank you all, much appreciated. I couldn't find anything at Toysrus today. Will start with hobbycraft and see how it goes. Great suggestions, thanks for taking the time.

DRes Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The sewing and craft superstore just by Tooting Bec station is great. It doesn't look much from the outside but it is like an Aladdin's cave inside and good prices. They have free parking next door. http://www.craftysewer.com/acatalog/Sewing_and_Craft_Superstore.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/86161-christmas-craft-supplies-where-can-i-get-them-not-online/#findComment-935934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunheadmum Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 As Cactus says, the art shop Cowling & Wilcox in Camberwell. Kids stuff as well as proper art supplies.

Bluedark Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I went to cowling and Wilcox (which was great, thanks everyone!) but still looking for stick on gems! Which poundland (or old whsmiths) please? In Sydenham? If I can get there this morning that would be fab. Thanks for all your help everyone!

Bluedark Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Just to say a massive thanks to everyone for the suggestions. The day has been saved by C&M and the poundland (opposite boots on rye lane). The children enjoyed using an abundance of glitter foam shapes and gems on their Christmas decorations...thanks again...
