Your first BJD - supplies and where to find them

Wondering where to find that list of supplies I so handily presented to you on page 56? Let me give you some hints:

From the drugstore (store brand will do):

• Magic Eraser
• Mack's silicone ear plugs (don't get the orange color--only clear silicone)
• Dr. Scholl's moleskin plus
• Super glue
• Face mask
• Rubbing alcohol or 100% acetone
• Superfine black water soluble marker
• False eyelashes
• Chopsticks (or save an unused pair from your next take-out)

Medical supply or fishing supply store:

• Hemostats (curved or straight tips are OK--I'd pick up a pair of each, if possible)

Craft supply store:

• Small sharp scissors
• Pipe cleaners (white)
• Jewelry grade sand paper, at least 220 grit and 400 grit
• Pliers (or a clean pair from the garage)
• High quality chalk pastels - use a 50% off coupon
• High quality large round brush
• Smaller high quality angled brush
• Tiny high quality round brush (like a size #1)
• Watercolor pencils - use a 50% off coupon
• Liquitex gloss medium
• Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Glue with the purple label

Junkyspot

• Mr. Superclear, UV Cut
• Extra elastic or their own restring kits

Mint on Card

• Restring kits
• Glass eyes - the best prices!
• Clothing and shoes - really good prices 

Kemper Dolls

• Elastic, sold in yard increments
• Restring tool(s)

Kemper has pricey shipping, so use them when you're buying a lot of stuff, or doing a group order with friends. They carry a nice variety of good quality but inexpensive wigs, eyes, and shoes as well.
