    If you have a Dollar Tree near you, they have flexible cutting boards (in the kitchen section) -2 to a package ,of coarse for a dollar. They make great bottoms for purses and easy to cut.You can also use it to make great stencils ,too.

    You can order anything on Wal Mart web site and they will ship it free to closest WM and you can pick it up at the store and it is free shipping, that is how to get what they have on line but not in the store.

    Other day I bought the cheap cutting boards to place in bottom of totes. I had one shopping tote after years of use finally fall apart. Hubs asked it I needed the bottom. Just the right size.

    I was in Walmart here this morning and in the craft aisle there were lot of plastic canvas, clear and in colors. What I use is the sample laminate floor boards at Lowe's. Perfect size for tote bottoms. Usually about $1 if not discontinued samples and then the employee will give them to me. Ask them to save the discontinued samples for you.

    Here's the website information for plastic canvas sheets at Hobby Lobby for online purchase. The website for ordering from Wal Mart is also listed.

    http://www.hobbylobby.com/search/?te...+canvas+sheets

    https://www.walmart.com/search/?quer...astic%20canvas

    Hope this helps.
