The best source for free is your public library. Search for children's picture books, especially the older books printed in the 1930's to 1950's. Use some onion skin paper to trace some great animals. The variety is there in children's books and in very, very old coloring books. Other sources are magazines such as Nature, National Geographic, and even some Highlights magazines.

Another source is yard sales. Hit yard sales at the last hour to half hour because usually kids coloring books and picture books will end up in the recycling and/or trash at end of the last day.

Some country churches have yard sales and you will be amazed by the craft items you can find contributed by older congregation members that might have done needlepoint, sewing, and crochet.

2. Look for the tablecloths that are vinyl. The bottom is made out of a soft fuzzy material so it does not mar the top of the table. The exterior is washable and can be reused dozens of times. Make sure that it dries completely after being washed before folding it for storing. The plastic on top can easily crack when it dries.

3. Make sure to use the correct width and length of a formal tablecloth. Measure the table top before buying it. If you have a table that extends in length, open the entire table and measure the width and the length tablecloth needed.

4. Make sure that you do not spill drinks on the formal tablecloth especially if it is white. Many will stain if grape-juice or wine drip on it. Read the cleaning instructions when you buy the formal tablecloth and find out how to remove a stain if it does occur.
