where can i get big rolls of butchers paper for arts and craft!

[cinnamonbear]

Hey i wanna do some painting with El and i wanna buy a big roll of butchers paper so i can cut off a huge piece of paper and plonk her down and let her go nuts with the paint.

I had a huge roll in perth for the girls i was a nanny for up their.. it was awsome to have around for arts and crafts. i have no idea where it came from as it was their when i began employment.

Does anyone know where i can get some?

and how much it will roughly cost me?

Thanks

If there is an Ikea near you they sell huge rolls of it....under $20 from memory.

Hi I don't know if this will help you but fil brought over some old buliding plans to use. He works on a buliding site in canberra, There shouls also be a paper making plant that will sell offcuts and seconds rolls look in the yellow pages.

Contact some of the printers in Fyshwick and see if you can buy some the end of a roll off them...

Call your local newspaper and ask them if they sell end rolls. They usually have heaps of them.

you can sometimes find them at places like Reverse Garbage in Sydney (ever been there? it's fantastic!)

They really do need to open an Ikea in Canberra, I think the closest one is Homebush Bay in Sydney. I keep thinking of going up there but my DH isn't keen and if I couldn't get him there when we lived in the mountains what chance do I have now?
