Default Do you buy at Oriental Trading???

Does anyone buy their scrapbooking items from Oriental Trading? If so what do you love or hate? I bought their paper once, it was kinda thin, but I am thinking of getting their hardware.

thanks!!

Not really... I did once, but the quality was not so nice. I like to find those awesome deals around for the good stuff! I preach the "good stuff or no stuff" mantra. They may have gotten better since...

I bought tons of embellies: all sorts of brads, flowers, jewels, flowers with jewels, etc. My aunt loves buying from there, she got her embossing powders, inks, and other stuff from their website.

The hardware is "kinda thin" too. But I love the prices. It depends on how classy I want my cards whether I use the cheap brads or the heavy duty ones. For eyelets, I don't really mind the cheaper ones. They don't look a lot different.

I bought the scrapbook craft caddy that holds pens and tools. I love it and it has really held up.

Oh I have been buying from them for many many years. I love almost all the embellishments, paperclips, brads, eyelets, etc etc. I buy a variety of everything. They do carry some recognizable brands. Theme Page kits too. I am happy with most stuff

I buy craft and party supplies. I've never been unhappy with what I've bought but then I always keep it in mind that it may not be the best quality but that's a chance I'll take for a svaings on selected items.

I love ribbon and buy quite a bit from OTC's "sale" link on their website. Lots of colors! Have bought brads, some paper, and chipboard too. No complaints here!

Their embellishments are great. However, their paper is SUPER thin. :(

I've bought A LOT of their buttons (as in like nearly 3,000 of them!), their hydrangea flowers, their brads that are made to look like screws and plain sponges (that I cut up and use to sponge on ink). I've been happy with my purchases from them so far!
