DIY wedding favor, any other craft store besides Michaels????

laila628 · September 2013

Hello! I'm from Long Island, NY. Im very set on building my wedding favor, but finding all the supplies seems to be kind of hard. Does anyone know of any other good craft stores besides Michaels? or maybe a toy model building store? or even an online website i can order in bulk?? I am a motorcycle rider, but i ride the "can am spyder"....you can quickly google it and look at images to see how hard it is for me to find any "small toy" of it in stores. I've seen the Harleys and 2 wheel sports/dirt bikes more easily.....so it looks like i'm going to have to build my wedding favor. Or if there are any crafty people reading this....any advice for easy, inexpensive materials i should use to build it. If worse comes to worse, looks like i might just have to settle for a "picture" of it on a mug or ornament or something, but i dont mind attempting to build a easy/cute mini hand held version of it first. any help is appreciated...thanks

I'm not sure what your budget is, but they have these things http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HJO5XS/ref=asc_df_B004HJO5XS2697130?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=dealt438939-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B004HJO5XS There is also a can-am spyder deck of cards, http://www.zazzle.ca/can_am_spyder_street_cruiser_bike_design_playingcard-256852430176086913 Hot Wheels has spyders. Additionally, I found this sign, I don't know if you'd like it or not http://www.ebay.com/itm/Can-Am-Spyder-Sign-/161020992709?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item257d995cc5

If you want to build a mini one you might want to try a Hobby store that has model cars and airplanes etc.

ooh thanks for the help! I like the ebay site you posted...maybe i can do a smaller wood sign and engrave it like that....seems more "space friendly" to display or place on a dresser top. As far as budget wise, maybe $5 if i can find that "mini toy" item or if i have to buy all the supplies for DIY...$10. I haven't started going to local hobby stores yet, but i'm pretty sure i can find something. So far i only got to Michaels and party city.

In my area we have stores like Hobby People. They have stuff like that. Other craft stores in my area include Joanns and Hobby Lobby.

ooh, thanks for the info. i checked the hobby people/lobby websites.....looks like i might find something there. Luckily i have a Joanns store close by, i want to go check that out cause I want to see if maybe i can make a candle sculpture of my bike, that might be kinda cool too.

If you do hobby lobby they pretty much have a 50% off sale every other week and it alternates. If it's not on sale one week, check back the next week because it more than likely will be.
