You may have many of the supplies around the house already, but you will probably have to buy some of them to begin with and you can add as you go along, so don't stress out thinking you need everything all at once.
- Walmart , Michaels and JoAnn Fabrics carry most of the important things you will need to get started.

I just want to mention that if you know of anyone with a pacemaker make sure they are aware of the magnets before they hold a baby with a magnet in them. I've never known anyone to have a problem, but it's better to be safe than sorry and mention it in your auctions if you decide to sell on Ebay.
