Garter

[dawsmi]

Does anyone know of anywhere that would sell garters that could be shipped to Canada for cheap?? I am on a tight budget and I can't afford to pay a ton!! Thanks!!

Are you in Canada? Anywhere near a major metropolitan area? I'm guessing it might be cheaper to drive into the city and buy one than to have it shipped -- just a thought!

I live in Canada about 2.5 hours away from any big city and I haven't found anything great in town here!! I live in I guess a city!! I will have to look some more in town before I drive all that way!! Do you know of any websites that would have some for cheap??

Its Should Be Pretty Cheap To Make One. I Think There Is A Thread Somewhere In Here That Explains How To Make One, Just A Thought.

If you stumble across the link somewhere let me know!! I can't see them being that hard to make and I don't want anything fancy!! Thanks!!

Is $8.00 cheap enough? Here is a link to a search I did for garter at ETSY.com. I sorted them from lowest to highest price - http://www.etsy.com/search_results_category.php?search_query=garter&search_type=category_tags_weddings&page=1&order=price_asc

That's a really good site!! And the prices aren't bad too!! I will have to talk to my FH to see what he thinks!! Thanks!!

If it's betweeen $8 - $15 .... I'd buy. It saves the hassle of going out to buy the lace, the material, the elastic, the decorations and then the time of sewing it. LOL

If you see something that you like .... just be sure to ask the vendor 1. if they will mail it to Canada (it's normally not a problem) and 2. that they will pop it into the mail and not send it via courier.

BTW - whenever Canadians shop online from the states, they should not buy from any company that ships via a courier. You will get your package in record time, but the courier companies will also send you a nice little bill for brokerage fees! Only buy from places that will send it through the post office.

What about Ebay?

[dawsmi]

Ya I will definately be sure to ask them if I decide to order from there!! Thanks!! I have looked on e-bay too and am considering there too!! I just have to find one that screams "buy me" LOL!! Thanks for your help!!

If you can find one less than $10.00, I would say go for it...but if not, they are extremely easy to make. I made my own. And it only took me about 20 minutes.

[dawsmi]

I am thinking that I might try to make mine and then if it fails horibbly then I will order one!! Does anyone know of any good/easy DIY garter making sites?? I will definately need instructions on this one!! Thanks!!

Not a problem. After you have garters mastered, you should make and sell them.

*bahhh hahahaha* I am not going to relent until I have turned you all into crafty vendors

Here are mine. I just took a piece of material, folded it over, added the lace and sewed it together. It was easy, quick...and Bruce loved them!!!
