Scraps KC

Scraps is 100% my favorite place in Kansas City. I am not exaggerating when I say I come here at least once a week. Scraps is a creative reuse center. Everything that is sold is donated, so everything costs cents or a couple of dollars. And they truly have everything -- craft supplies, frames, decor, storage items, almost anything you could think of in a huge warehouse. You can donate leftover craft supplies, and they have a list on their website of things they're looking for and donations they won't accept. Scraps does tons of classes and educational opportunities as well. I've taken a papermaking class!! Absolutely loved the experience. There's a make-and-take room where you can craft and use their supplies for a small price. Not only are they keeping craft supplies and other items out of landfills, they also have a strong mission to help unhoused people. Unhoused people can work at scraps and receive a meal and survival supplies for their time. And they bring meals downtown on the weekends. I love this place so much. I am here constantly and I am buying things here constantly. Some of my best holiday decor is from here. There's a lot of parking in the gated lot next to the building, and the door is next to the garage doors off of the parking lot. Sometimes there are so many people that you have to street park because it's so popular on the weekends! Please go to scraps for all your crafting and decorating ne

If you are a crafter or an artist, GO here. Just know, you won't be able to stop yourself --- there's so many wonderful things here. I heard magical sounds and saw sparkling lights that only occur when entering a maker's heaven or a really good sale at Macy's. I went specifically for collage kits and I got more than I was supposed to get. And you know what, if I stayed more than five minutes, I would've bought the entire aisle of stuff because it's so magical and priced to sell. And don't forget to follow them on social media. They do classes and have a craft club. The location and building are unassuming and seem almost clandestine but don't let that stop you. If you need craft or maker goods, go here first. Or, if you need to donate your excess, go here as well.

Fun place to find mixed Media art supplies. I wish we had a similar place in Wichita. It's not as well organized as the Denver ReCreative but grateful it's closer.

Oh Scraps! We love your beautiful bounty of random treasure. Office supplies, holiday decor, fabric, yarn, and upcycled goodies - we've brought them all home over the dozen times we've shopped. There is a little bit of everything/anything on any given trip. The mission of supporting reuse is a great reminder when you're looking for a place to donate too. (They keep a current list of items they're accepting online.)

What a fabulous idea!!! I love the reuse of all the leftover project remnants!!!It was bigger than I anticipated and well organized! Need rubber stamps, florals, fabric, yarn, paint, postcards, bins, knitting needles, etc.My daughter ( a textile science major) was in her element.You can even pay with a card! Donate your extra stuff and help a great cause!I am interested in checking out their volunteer opportunities as this is really a mission I can get behind & impact!

I found out about Scraps KC from one of my friends. "You should go there, you would like it." I make journals out of old books, not necessarily junk journals, but I can make those too. I constantly run out of paper and things. Not any more! This store is a goldmine for anyone who likes to make crafts. They take donations of craft items and sell them. I bought a big bag of things and only paid $12. As I was leaving, the woman at the counter mentioned "collage bins." Well, I'll be back.

I spread the gospel of Scraps KC to literally anyone who has even a vague interest in crafting!! This is a gem of a store and I love the sustainable mission. I have gotten so many treasures from Scraps: jewelry, expensive watercolors for cheap, embroidery supplies, puzzles, even Christmas decor! The selection and layout changes frequently so I love to go once every couple of weeks if I can to browse all the aisles. They host so many cool DIY classes ranging from sewing to upcycling bottles into vases and papermaking. So much of what they sell is under a dollar so you can get a lot of bang for your buck. If you have old craft supplies or fabric lying around Scraps also takes donations! Be sure to check the website for what they will and won't take. I love supporting this store and highly recommend paying a visit to see what you can find!

I thoroughly enjoy any efforts made to help improve the planet, so when I heard of Scraps KC and what they do such as offering TerraCycling and reducing waste by taking donations of used craft items, I was super excited to check them out. Scraps TerraCycling offers to recycle items such as personal care items, razors, Burts bees products, phone cases, oral care, writing utensils, and plastic gift cards. Which is nice because ScrapsKC is the only place in the area that accepts these items to recycle !This place is also like a huge thrift store full of craft supplies. So if you're working on a project, but only need a few items of things- rather than buying a whole bag at a craft store- Scraps is where you can buy what you need for way less! You can find anywhere from sharpies to yarn, and everything in between. If you haven't checked this place out yet- I'd highly recommend stopping by soon!

I am a teacher and I was able to go as part of their teacher teach out program and got a ton of stuff for my classroom for free! Anything you might need is there, and there's so much to choose from. The workers were super nice and helpful, and were very attentive!

Awesome selection, very caring staff and stunning prices! Great sense of community felt here
