Default plastic canvas for crafts needed

I have no fabric shops near me, only Walmart. i need some plastic canvas mesh sheets. ones for sewing crafts. holes in grid and can be cut with scissors. I'm so used to going to hobby lobby and just going down the isles and grabbing pkgs of it. where can i find it online? evidently i'm not putting in the right wording. i want it for the bottom of purses and such.
** well i just saw some in missouri star site in a roll. seems to be what i want.

i'm following this thread. online is my best option because inability to drive very far & out where i live everywhere is very far . part of my planned winter progects, on which getting late start, too much snow shoveling, are a couple of totes for me using the plastic canvas for bottoms.

several years ago, hubs & i went to four different 'local' walmarts looking for a blanket we'd seen offered online. it was heated, plugged into lighter thing in vehicle. we thought it would be perfect for me & my arthr pain from sitting in truck while he drives. each walmart store manager said that the individual store inventory varied according to each store's manager. even tho the web site told us certain stores had it, they didn't because the manager opted out of ordering it for their store. ergo ..just because an item is found by someone somwhere in their walmart ..it doesn't mean "walmart carries it". sadly.
..we never found the blanket anywhere ..i just use pillow & large heating pad for my back now, & reg thermal small blankets for knees, feet, ankles, legs ....

If it's for purses I have used the ultra cheap chopping boards here in the UK you get four in a pack for about $2, try dollar store, about the same weight as the needlepoint plastic canvas and much cheaper. Does the same job.

I haven't bought any in a while, but last time I purchased plastic canvas was from our local Walmart. Ifyou haven't checked there, you might want to give it a show, in their craft area.

Free pickup by the way.
