I did manage to find some sites that have 'free' samples that you can use in your crafting. Please read the 'fine print' carefully! Some of these offers do charge a shipping fee, require a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope), or require you to do other things. Also, take a little extra time to explore the Web sites belonging to these companies; it is a great way to say thank you to them for their free offers.
If you try any of these free offers, write to me with your review of them, and I will post your opinions here! If you know of a free offer that should be posted here, or would like to offer a freebie to be featured exclusively on the Family Crafts site, please let me know.

(Note: These offers were all valid at the time this page was posted; however, with the ever-changing nature of the Web, pages are removed or changed often. If you happen to find one of these offers no longer exsists, please drop me a line! None of these offers or companies are endorsed by me. I am simply sharing information that I found. I have not tried all of these free offers either....
