Crafters: Styrofoam inflation!
 

I am just shocked at how much styrofoam costs now.

My crystal balls have a styrofoam base and I noticed about 6mos ago they doubled in price all of a sudden.

Well, this weekend I went to Michaels' for a little thing hanger thingy to hang my balls up(a jewelry accessory). The lady ahead of me was buying a large styrofoam ball about 6 inches in diameter, for her child's school project. It was $14.99 ! I couldn't believe it! :yikes:

yup, i use styrofoam packing peanuts for my shipments and it has nearly doubled in price over the past year
