I have to buy lots and lots of bright coloured tissue paper...

Where's best? I'm going to be making about 50-60 tissue pom poms in bright colours (think Indian type colours, magenta, orange, red). Each pom pom needs about 10 sheets of tissue so really I need approx 200 sheets of each colour.

Can anyone help?

Do you know anyone with a Costco or Macro card?

ebay

I bought some, sorry I can't remember the seller as it was a couple of years ago, but it was great. really bright colours, and a good mix of colours too. I made little pom poms and strung them on a lenght of embroidery thread, they look lovely. My colleage also bought some the same for huge pom poms. I'm sure we only paid around £6 for 100 sheets.

Pound land has some for (you guessed it!) a pound, very nice colours too.

argh, I'm an idiot....I should have said not ebay, I've only got a few quid in my paypal account and I need to buy it today. Sorry, I should have said that.

Thanks for the other suggestions. I do know someone with a Macro card, but I'm not sure if I'm going to see her any time soon and I do need it pronto.

Pourquois... what size packs are the poundland ones do you know? I need bulk quantities... about 200 sheets of each colour.

You could try The Works. They're usually good for that kind of thing.
