They are in England and I cannot remember if I had to pay shipping (probably so). I've enjoyed them greatly and used them in the room I did for the "wacky wallpaper" challenge back in the spring.<br /><br />If anyone wants to splurge, samples of the beautiful Mya Romanoff designer wall coverings are $3.00 each for a 5.75" X 8.75" sample. I've got some of these as well. The options and quality are both amazing.<br /><br />Oh, and don't forget the wonderful packaging (bags, boxes, etc.) for luxury hair products and designer perfumes. It may be a bit off topic but if the challenge is to use "free supplies" that may help with the creative process. Notice I've been using two Bumble & Bumble boxes I cut up in my rooms a lot lately ;)<br /><br />Okay that's it.

But thinking of Left-overs/ free samples..because of our printing office, i know they all have loads of CARDBOARD, pieces of wrongly-printed or cut-to throw away- paper/cards/cardboard..in many sizes,paper-weight,options! also lots of mostly good-quality boxes/packages - often in the same size, very handy to stack in one's shelves to organize things!!!

They were getting rid of some "soft under your feet" tile samples (approx. 20" X 12") that are easy to cut. I use them for tiles in the kitchen and bath. I scored about 50 of them...I can cut them to any size! And I sure would love it if you would do the tutorial on the stairs too!!!!
