At Cerulean Tides, we believe that creativity knows no bounds, even when it comes to your wallet. Crafting on a budget doesn't mean sacrificing quality or creativity; it's about finding clever ways to make the most of what you have. With a sprinkle of imagination and a dash of resourcefulness, plus the steals and deals offered in this blog, we're here to show you just how rewarding and fulfilling crafting on a budget can be.

Grab & Go Bundles

Our carefully curated Grab & Go Bundle collections offer a cost-effective way to access a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes without overspending. By purchasing bundled sheets, crafters can enjoy significant savings compared to buying individual sheets separately. Whether you're a beginner looking to experiment with different materials or a seasoned crafter working on large projects, our bundles provide excellent value for money. Plus, with options available in various sizes and styles, you can find the perfect bundle to suit your needs and budget.

In our mission to make crafting accessible to everyone, we offer a selection of Second Quality Sale items.

Imperfections don't dull their sparkle; instead, they add character and charm to your creations. In fact, every sheet tells a unique story, waiting for you to transform it into something extraordinary.


In navigating this realm of imperfect quality materials, a few tips can go a long way. Firstly, when working with these sheets, it's wise to test your laser settings more than usual. Since the quality may vary, testing ensures you achieve the desired results without any surprises. Additionally, be open to experimentation and adaptability in your crafting process. Embrace the uniqueness of each sheet by finding creative ways to incorporate any imperfections into your designs. And remember, patience is key.
