I have purchased cork sheets at ACMoore. They have several different sizes. It is located in the wood section. They usually offer a coupon every week. I would imagine any of the craft stores might carry it.

Good luck!

I got mine at Target in the school supply section. It was $9.99 but you get a LOT of feet - I think 5? It's worth it IMO since you use smaller than a 4-inch square. I adhere mince with the E6000 glue I got at Hoby Lobby

Default Cheap Cork...

I get mine at Lowe's in the kitchen accessories section. I think it's about 12s.f. for something like $6-$7. Really good buy! I just cut it with my Carl, about 2 layers at a time. ~ K

I picked up some 4 inch and 6 inch square cork with adhesive already on the back (for tile coasters) at JoAnn's, but I cut it into little triangles and put one in each corner. JoAnn's also had a sheet of cork (18 inches by 24 inches, I think) for a lot less money per square inch, but I was going for convenience.

I got mine at Michaels. It came in a roll. I used it to create a memo board out of a small picture frame. I stamped the frame with the In the Wild wheel using StazOn and the cork with the zebras.

If you can't find cork, fun foam sheets work well, too! They're pretty cheap.

Default cork

Fun foam! What a good idea, and the colors would make it so pretty if you are doing floral or summer themes.

I posted on the other thread and then found this one. I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby; don't think it was very expensive and some of the rolls come with adhesive already on them. Check them out before you buy. The squares that come already cut do not have adhesive on them and are too thick to run through a Xyron.

Default cork

I get some of the thinner cork at the local auto store. It is used for making gaskets in cars. It comes on a small roll. I usually use my heat gun over it and it lays flat.

I never thought about cork on the bottom. I used the little round felt feet on mine. Thanks for the good idea!
