Where can I find.....................

[Ribbons]

Not sure if this is the right section to ask this, but where can I find a craft mat - the type that looks like non stick cooking paper, one where I can paint and throw stuff on but then just wipe clean after, as opposed to the mats we use for cutting and measuring. I think DB had one on last week when she was demonstrating the spray inks.

Its just that I remember I bought some spray inks some time ago and have never used them so thought I would have a try out.

Oh rats! I know I've seen this on my travels round the interweb...just need to remember where...

Ribbons, I have a very small one of those - they are made or at least marketed in the UK under the Woodware brand - that is the brand mine is. It's only 9 x 7 inches - so useful for stuff like triple embossing on small pieces. They are BLIDDY expensive tho once you start to get into bigger sizes.

I beleive they were first marketed as teflon non-stick baking sheets - and can be purchased in shops that sell cookware - however I have not seen one - I keep meaning to try to look.

Here is one being sold by Tanda Stamps - its slightly bigger than A4 size apparently and is cheaper than the one I have..... guess I shoulda googled them sooner ;)

Here is another even bigger one........but omg the price !! - £13.99 for 18 x 12 inches

And now I have googled Teflon Baking Sheet and found this for £5.66 (inc VAT) - sounds like the best deal as 40 x 33 cm is very close to being 12 x 18 inches.

There are shipping charges on the Russum's site so add £3.80 for orders under £80. - they have a showroom in Rotherham for anyone interested in buying one of these who lives in the area.

Not sure where they get the ones you see them using on telly - it often seems to me the ones they have are HUGE but maybe they just look bigger on telly.

Ooooop forget all the info above....... just looked where I shouda in the first place................ eBay! .......cheap as chips for the 40 x 33 cm on ebay.

I just bought one......they are on ebay as a "buy now" for £3.50 and shipping is £1.50.

I got my last one in Wilkinson's and the one before that in Morrison's

I got mine in Lakeland, a non-stick cooking mat though, not marketed for craft.

I got one in Lidl - not as big as some of them use on telly but just as effective - looks exactly the same. It was sold as a non stick baking sheet and cost £1.99

[Ribbons]

Thanks everyone! Will go and have a look at ebay, although it does look like non-stick baking parchment, its interesting to know what other people use.

Glenda does state that if you want your non-stick mat to last to try not to buy the 'cooking' ones as they last no where near as long as the crafting ones do.
