Hi, I'm hoping to make my own art work by mounting old doilies and vintage fabric. Problem is- where do I buy cheap blank canvases?

B&Q used to have them for under 10 euro, but have discontinued them, and the art shops I have looked in are ridiculously expensive. IKEA has a frame, but without the canvas, and they are rather flimsy. So where? I want some that are sturdy, and that I can paint on, but they obviously don't need to be the quality actual artist require. I'm looking for biggish ones- around 50 X 50 cm, or even bigger. But with a small pricetag...
Grateful for help/ Merienne
