I got mine at Walmart. I also ordered from Joann online. Look where the arts/crafts paints are.

You can use the plastic or metal (plastic tip is cheaper) tip off an inexpensive mechanical pencil (Bic/etc). Sharon Schamber used to have a video on how she did it.
You take the tip off the glue bottle (Elmers school glue)...push the pencil tip into the tip and figure out how much of the glue bottle tip to trim so the pencil tip will just fit into the opening about 1/4".
now cut the tip off the bottle...down about 1/4 to 1/2", just so it does not interfere with the pencil tip inside the glue bottle tip.
Having shoved the pencil tip up into the glue bottle tip...replace the glue bottle tip onto the glue bottle. You will have to use a straght pin to close the glue bottle.
