Go to your local pet stores, into the grooming section. Yep, i know... sounds weird. But curry brushes (rubber and metal) are great for sensation play, and for pain paddles if you're into that. You can also transform dog harnesses, collars and such into restraint systems.
Grocery store items, such as a bundle of kabob sticks (wooden) tied up together really tight and secure make an interesting slapper, and you can also use them as a form of edge play if you so desire.
Hit up your local leather supply store. Tandy seems to be the most popular, and take your pic from their scratch buckets. You can easily transform the leather and suede peices into floggers, straps, leather paddles, and whips with little effort.
And of course, there's my favorite place to go... Hobby Lobby! Nylon string can be woven or braided together to make whips of various feels. Their wooden dowels and wooden table legs and posts make great handles. As someone else suggested, they also have an assortment of pre-cut wooden shapes you can easily use as straight out paddles, or combine to custom create for your own style. Hit up the bead section while you're there. Pickup some pretty beads and beading string, and you've got yourself the means to make yet another form of flogger or whip. Swing through the fabrics department and snatch up some small curtain tassels for the ends of your whips or floggers if you prefer softer things.
It all depends on your own personal likes and dislikes. Use your imagination and get as creative as you want. And remember, even if it doesn't look pretty, it may still feel great. You can always dress up the uglies later!
