Walmarts craft section has several mill thicknesses of plastic sheeting on rolls of 5' wide by however long you need it. You can get clear, that looks like flowers, doilies, etc.

Hope that helps.

I like to go to the Dollar General and they always have rolls of it. The hardware stores would have it. I just finished covering a broken small window in two table cloths made out of plastic until I can get the windows fixed.

Lowe's or Home Depot should have it. Also your local hardware store.

Also, look in the yellow pages under plastic or plastic sheeting.

Lowes, Home Depot, Red Barn any place that supplies building materials. Some places will be cheaper than others so take the time to look around.

The discount stores and home improvement stores all carry things like that.

Here in NE TN our Walmarts carry it this time of year. Otherwise, I'd try any hardware store.

It's nobody's favorite, but plastic film can be a good short-term solution to poor performing windows - especially traditional storm windows. Installed on the outside, it helps reduce air infiltration.
