FIVE BELOW HAUL 🖍️ Budget Friendly Zine Supplies

[@TaylorTheCreative]

ALSO for all the zinesters out there, I bought a wooden drawing board/easel at five below and I use it for EVERY zine fest as a display for my zines!

[@brattyxbre]

This is amazing and I’m going back to Five Below because of this

[@alexieldefanel]

It’s the one that has little drawers, right, or the other one? I love the drawer one myself!

[@canelamardones]

I love how we all say "you can do this or use that for zines" and in the end it's "or you can do whatever the f you want" because art is so personal and subjective 😂❤

[@graceklumper1657]

Thrift stores are a great place to get sustainable craft supplies for cheap

[@brattyxbre]

I agree ✅

[@elisehrabik306]

I have a second hand craft store in my town and it’s the best, it has any art supplies and also weird objects / trash. It’s super cheap I just got a big pile of paper, vintage magazines, stickers and some miniatures for $10

[@ahhhndy]

Using coloring books for your zines is such a great idea. Idk how I never thought of that, thank you!

[@brattyxbre]

Of course. Happy zine making :-)

[@LluStore8833]

Thank you for your supplies+++ information. Again, you really are the one who has spiked my interest in zine making. I have been doing art forever and really enjoy making zines. Such a medium for expanding, really stretching one's ideas and blocks, about what making art is all about. I am in the give away zine club. I appreciate your generosity in sharing all the information you do. And I really enjoy you and your videos. Scissor on!

[@victoriar8284]

i loveeee those strawberry shortcake and carebear stickers esp for junk journaling i use them a bunch. but a carebear has def popped up in one of my zines before the cheeky purple one lol

[@anonybelle]

A Daiso recently opened in my area and im obsessed! I havent bought anything specifically for zines there yet but off the top of my head i can think of so many things! Their stationary and organization and craft sections are so good!

[@brattyxbre]

Daiso is another favorite of mine, too. Omg - their sticker and paper selection is *chefs kiss* 🤌🏽

[@diederdas27]

Mine closed down in 2023 😔 the things I could make

[@Ladytuuli]

Yesss omg. I just started using 5B for my collages. Such a great place to get supplies. The books are nice to cut up ✂️✂️✂️✂️

[@brattyxbre]

Agreed 🖤✂️

[@Lincolntheginger]

This needs to BLOW UP

[@brattyxbre]

if it DOES pls just leave some vision board cards in stock for me 😭🙏🏽

[@TanzaniteDawns]

Hi, Loved this as a super new artist. In Ireland there is no five below or 5B , we have Euro Giant, Dealz or Mr Price. Same type of value store as 5B. Me and my daughter love exploring them as you will often find amazing art and craft supplies and items that are at a price that you can't ignore. The quality is there to be found !! You thought me what a Zine is. Never heard of it. Me and my little lady are going to start !!!

[@brattyxbre]

I love this!

[@alexieldefanel]

Re: sticker anxiety, have you got a reusable sticker book? They’re books that have like sticker paper quality that you can stick your favorite stickers on and save them for later without having to keep a full sheet.

[@brattyxbre]

Yes, I have a few of those! I literally forgot about them until you said this thank you 😂🙏🏽

[@alexieldefanel]

@@brattyxbreI know I forget about mine too! I really need to sit down and organize mine before I buy any more. I say that, AND YET…. 😅😂

[@AyceMcGee]

Have you ever been to a liquidation store? They take all of the previous season items from a bunch of stores and sell them at ridiculously low prices. The one I go to sells everything by weight, and it's like $1-2 a pound depending on the day. Each one is different, but most have crafting supplies and other things you can use in zines. The last time I went they had a bunch of items from Five Below and Target that were normally $5-10 each that I got for less than $4. I love liquidation stores so much. They're pretty much the last stop before items end up in a landfill. So not only do you get things at a great price, but you also get to help prevent waste.

[@brattyxbre]

Yeah, I have! Liquidation stores are awesome. Also “junk” stores, like there’s this place called SCRAP that sells trash/reused craft supplies that other artists donate and things are like 25 cents and up. Those kinda stores are just not as accessible to me bc they’re far, but I love em!!

[@vanerey_]

My sister works by a five below, so she OFTEN goes in there. 😅 Thanks for all the ideas! I have to keep an eye out for a trash bin. ☆

[@ms.marvelous7019]

Y’all could always go to the Dollar Tree - stickers, rub on transfer images, coloring books , magazines, recipe books , snacks (and use the packaging for your zine stash), stamps, paint and more - all for about a buck each ❤ hey I just had an idea 💡 maybe a zine making party or get together to share supplies ?? 🤯🤩

[@brattyxbre]

There’s SO many places to get cheap supplies, this is just my favorite 🥳 and yes! zine swap parties all 2025!!

[@brainrotdotorg1611]

Absolutely love five below!! i am a frequent patron of their sticker aisle, super easy to find cheap cute stuff there

[@brattyxbre]

Right! I’m addicted to the sticker (and candy) aisles 😭

[@EmoKitsuneDesigns]

Thanks so much for this video. I've only gone to to Five Below once in my life and that was years ago. But budget is tight these days and I should consider going there again for shopping more often. Especially with a small kid, she would LOVE those stickers and coloring books.

[@brattyxbre]

It’s a great alternative to bigger brand craft stores! I also have great luck finding cheap (but cute) supplies in thrift stores & Daiso 👩🏽‍🎨

[@its4am88]

Love the tips u give for any type of art. Absolutely love your content. I’m here to stay😫

[@talimediaart]

I have a five below in my area. I wouldn’t think to use it as a store for zine making! Thanks for the video Bre!

[@brattyxbre]

You’re welcome! 🖤

[@h0neych3rub]

Five Below is a goldmine!

[@longboardwipeoutart]

Have used the alcohol markers from 5Below, can confirm they need swatching because the colors don’t always match their label!

[@a-little-sunshine]

Hi Bre! 💗 If you haven't already, could you make a video about how you organise your zine-making supplies? I'm struggling so hard with boxes of stuff and thinking while I make a zine, 'oh I have the perfect paper/sticker/stamp/etc. for this!' but then I can't find it! I don't even have that much stuff but I'm suffering XD

[@maikeannamohr2119]

😍🤩thanks for the tipps!!❤️👍👍👍

[@aloquin777]

I've GOT to check out that store!

[@brattyxbre]

There’s a little bit for everyone! This was just the stuff I got THIS time but omg there’s tons of crafty stuff for cheap 🥳

[@haboombaby]

There's no five below in canada :( it's only in the us

[@brattyxbre]

Bummer!!

[@Loony_Lovegood132]

Its so hard for me to make zines because i always want it to look perfect sadly...

[@brattyxbre]

You should watch my other vid on perfectionism 👇🏽 Your Zine Sucks (And That's Okay) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJTOp5uXgrZ0rZY

[@Loony_Lovegood132]

@ ok tysm bre!!

[@brattyxbre]

I hope you find it easier to make zines this year! I know my videos are just one perspective out of many, but I really hope it’s helpful 🖤🖤 You got this!

[@Loony_Lovegood132]

@@brattyxbre tyy!! Watching the vid rn. Its one of my resolutions to get better at making them this year!

[@pinkie_draws_stuff]

I don’t have 5 below where I live but this has inspired me to raid my local dollar store! ✨

[@brattyxbre]

Yes! Dollar store, thrift & consignment stores, and Daiso have always been really good to me in terms of finding cute stuff

[@riansfilms]

this was a perfect time to drop, i am working on one of my first zines after being inspired by your videos! 🫶 thank you for doing what you do!

[@alternatecondiment7415]

Same here! I always take these haul videos to apply it to whatever I have around the house or at the thrift store

[@Zkiell]

I found your channel by accident but.. I have one problem with zines. Some people can print DRAWINGS of other artists without their permission and sell them... it's really bad :( people shouldn't steal from living artists! maybe mention the public domain in the vid? it's a site where you can use graphics of artists who died e.g. 100 years ago that don't have copyrights is free!! and beautiful tbh (you can legally sell things with these arts!!)

[@brattyxbre]

I believe I mention a variation of this in my copyright video (but if not I can update it) ✅⬇️ The Zine Maker’s Guide to Copyright kzbin.info/www/bejne/boS0dqSnbNGNps0
