Need a little help with a craft project.

Looking for black and white striped, wire crafting ribbon. I need several yards of it and I can't find something cheap, like polyster. Stripes need to run long. The best I could do was Grosgrain at $5.49 a yard. WHAT!

Tried all the online ribbon factories without luck. I was hoping that someone who crafts more than I do might know a source that escapes the Google searches.

There are a lot of craft supplies sold there. If someone is selling by the yard, ask them how much for the whole roll. You might get a better price.

What is the magic to Etsy? I did become a member but had trouble making a purchase. Do they require special affirmation of membership?
