Such an awesome store. My friend told me about the store and Ive been coming ever since. Definitely my #1 arts and crafts supplies stop before Michaels.

What a great idea. Beads, sowing, leather, scrap booking, just about anything youd go to a big brand arts and crafts store can be found here at a fraction of the price. All you need is a little flexibility in what materials you use because you never know what youll find among the bins.Want to experiment with a craft but dont want to invest a lot of start up money? This is the place.Who gives a scrap is definitely going to be my first stop for any kids and family art projects.

I love this place! It’s so affordable, the employees and volunteers are very kind and it’s fun to go hunting for great finds. The way they are handling safety precautions during the pandemic makes me love them even more. It’s great to have somewhere to shop that feels as safe as it can and I appreciate the work that went into that!!

They have a lot of crafty items. From art supplies to zippers. Pretty well organized, but if you cant find it, just ask. A very good way to recycle things youre done with & not fill up the dump. Others can find a use.

What a great little place! They have all sorts of preowned art and craft supplies, cards and stationary, stamping things and yarn. I got a small cedar box and acrylic paint on my trip there.

Ive read the other reviews and have to completely disagree with many. If you want cheap sewing or art supplies, limited scrapbook supplies and off the wall linens from the 70s, this place is for you. Everyone else can skip this 1* place. Its well organized for what they do carry but absolutely not a place to dwell in. The ONLY reason I gave this chaotic indoor fleamarket 2* is due to the courtesy of the employees working at the time.

One of the most fun places Ive ever found. My mom and I love this store. You never know what you are going to find when you stop by. This business is a great way to reduce waste while simultaneously offering affordable items for crafts or new projects! The re-organization of the store looks great - good work!

I drove over an hour and a half to visit this store. I had my 3 year old with me. I have no babysitter, and had no idea that he wasnt allowed in the store until I was about to the open the door. While I understand the precautions around COVID, this was completely disheartening and an absolute waste of a trip. I wont shop at a store where my son is only welcome on certain days, especially when I do not have the means to have him watched or to skip work. How sad for single mothers, fathers, or anyone else who isnt aware of this policy and doesnt use social media to get their information.

What a great find! I could have spent hours here. Although there is a huge amount of “stuff”, it is very well organized and labeled. Found tons of interesting items at huge discounts. This store is on my “plan to return” list!

I cant begin to tell you how wonderful this store along with the staff are. I had to do decorations for an outdoor wedding and there is no way I couldve done it going to a retail store. The prices and the selection are great!

Such a great idea! Its organised well. Definitely hit this place up before you go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby. They had just what I needed to finish my project AND I was able to give them some of the stuff I had laying around from previous projects.

Great way to reduce waste and feed my addiction without paying a ton. Sometimes I just want to dabble in new crafts and I was able to find embroidery floss and ribbon (cheap) and now I have lovely flowers on my shirt! I always find inspiration at craft and thrift stores, so this place is my JAM.

This craft store is a wonderful little spot. I visit frequently and am always pleasantly surprised with what I can find. They always have a variety of craft supplies. This store has a wonderful aim to reduce waste by upcycling supplies. Great community outreach. Great customer service.

Soo cool and cheep

Review №31

Always have great stuff. Only thing that could improve is the hours. Each time I have gone they were closing in 30 minutes which is definitely not enough time to look through their selection!

Review №32

I wish I had known about this place sooner! I am a huge crafter and you can get things here at a much better price than the big chain stores! Will be back again for any future crafting supplies.

Review №33

A bit confusing at first but once you get use to their organization its really cool. I am so glad someone is reselling all those crafting good that people dont end up using. Got a huge bag full of snaps for $6. Super cost effective.

Mi
Review №34

This is a wonderful little store selling gently used arts and crafts supplies. The people here are genuinely kind and helpful. The concept of the store is a one of a kind for Colorado Springs and well worth the stop. One of my favorites!

Review №35

This place and the volunteers that run it are amazing. They claim Art and Craft supplies however (and I quote) “with Pinterest, the term arts and crafts can mean just about anythingBowling pins, yarn, old windows, doll body parts, fabric, old keys, postcards from 1920s, maps.................I could go on forever!Kids classes are super fun, free crafting on designated Saturday for kids while parents shop and fun children area with toys.Keep it up!

Every time were in the area we stop to make time to drop in. They ALWAYS have something new to share and the people working are always friendly and helpful and quick to answer any questions you may have. Selection is vast and cheap for quality items. The store is clean and a crafters heaven. Has everything from stationery supplies to doll supplies and even fabric and a WHOLE BUNCH of buttons. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a place to get craft supplies!

Every time I walk in I can find something of use in a project at work or around the house. I can walk out with more things than my arms can carry for less that $10. Beautifully friendly and helpful staff.

Oh. My. God.This has to be my absolute favorite store in Colorado. If you’re an artist, DIY-er, or in the littlest bit creative, Who Gives a SCRAP is the place for you. Heck, even if you’re not crafty, you’d enjoy looking around at the shelves of incredibly varied odds, ends, and scraps available for pennies on the dollar. Everything is donated, and they’ve saved over 70 tons of art supplies from hitting the dump.
