A trip to Dollar Tree netted a great find

I am always on the lookout for a great deal on materials that I can tie flies with. I went to dollar tree to get a present bag for a friends birthday. I ran out of some winging material I got from a garage sale which was sold by Rainy's .  I found that maybe a 2 inch by 8 inch of the material is about $2 .  I found pretty much the same thing at the dollar store for...  guess what... $1 lol .. It came in 3 sheets of 20x20 inches.  Here is a picture of rainy's material. It is the only pic I could find.  Great picture??  I think not..

Here is what I found and how I could duplicate it the above material for really cheap in 3 colors and get a lifetime supply

 This is what it looked like before I took it out of the bag. Hopefully you can find the same thing. Michael's sales it for about $3.50 I think as well

 It is clear but has a cool sheen too it.

 I will cut the piece I want and roll it in my fingers to wrinkle it quite a bit

 Here are some caddis wings I cut out of it from my wing cutter.

Here is a foam hopper I tied using the clear version Which was on the right of my picture that showed all three. You don't have to crinkle it but I do cause it gives it angles so it holds its shape a lot better and looks more like a real wing.  give it a try and see what you can come up with
