I didnt pay that price though, my Jo-Anns actually had some on clearance last week so I bought some there, but then I was in another Jo-Anns across town and they were not on clearance there, so not sure how they decide whats on clearance where. If you have Jo-Anns coupons you could pickup some that way. They are really easy to use. I had no problems at all and I had never used them before. Be sure to post pics of your projects, we would love to see them.
