robongar Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I guess it depends were you live, there's loads on the interweb, just google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwthib Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks, I live in Texas (DFW area)I tried googling but keep finding premade figures, not just the material. (May be my lack of good Google-foo) Edited December 22, 2015 by rwthib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitePlainsNY Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I've been trying to find a reliable source too. Small props look great covered in it with a set of lights attached to the backside of the fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avind Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 One idea that I am trying is to spray paint my props with sparkle paint. You can find silver, gold, red and green at Home Depot for $7 per can. I then plan to use spray glue to allow coating the prop with glitter. Not sure if this will work for you, but may be worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avind Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hmmm, Maybe use the white to simulate snow. I wonder if there is some way to use this in my set for next year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arw01 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looked for a couple of years as well, have not found different colors, one might be able to dye white if you found it to other colors.Even looked on aliexpress but never found a seller for the sheets like we get on our characters at Christmas. Emailed a bunch of places but no one ever emailed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
