The first time I came here a long time ago it seems, it was raining. I was dressed for rain but not for spending three hours (three!) in the store. I was sweaty, a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t care, I was transfixed. It’s grown since then. As a non-profit, the goods are from donations, you never know what goodies you’ll find. I sometimes go in looking for something specific, hoping to find it, but usually I just see what there is to see. And if I don’t what I’m looking for, something finds me. It’s easy to feel inspired just looking at everything. I shop there about 3 times a month at least. Since it’s all creative re-use the prices are always a deal. GO THERE!

I live finding new & wonderful things each time I visit Scrap. Its like finding buried treasures!!

A wonderful idea for used craft items that cant be sold at a traditional thrift store. Loved walking around and looking at everything and felt so inspired. Found some really great vintage cards/postcards. Easy checkout process, great prices and friendly staff. Cant wait to go back!

Lots of cool stuff here, things youll never find anywhere else. If youre looking for unique materials to use in creative projects, this is the place. I came today looking for specific colors of fabrics, and found exactly what I was looking for. I was also looking for beads, but there wasnt much selection. The inventory depends on whats donated. But its intriguing to see what they have, and worth the trip to visit the store.

I make jewelry and every 6months or so, I make a huge donation drop at Scrap. I love this place and their mission!! I am happy with the knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Its obvious that the people who work here thoroughly enjoy helping people and being crafty. 10 stars!!

Great place to get craft and home office supplies. Nice to support reusing instead of buying new. Pretty funky, so be open minded and ready to explore.

Very interesting place. I dont know how to describe it other than a more organized recycle center. Are you looking for 100s for milk caps? Youre looking at the right place. Need someones old x-rays? Look no further.

I wish I had a place like this back home! Curated, organized supplies for arts and crafts and theatre and office and … A great place to lock in to the recycling/upcycling process.

I love this place. Gently used and new craft materials and more. Tell them Druccii sent ya

Amazing place to creative minds (old and young) to collect materials for projects. Tidy space makes stuff easy to find and staff are great.

I have to say this is every crafters dream place. Need a button? Buy a handful. Need fabric? Buy it by the pound. And more! You do have to know what you are looking for and have time to really look through things. So much stuff that anyone should be able to find the perfect craft supply.

Great resource for artists. Rotating stock of random materials to make your next masterpiece or disasterpiece... Highly recommended if youre on a budget and can frequent for getting a lot of materials for less mulah. Definitely check it out. Ive been a long time supporter for a good reason, yeah?

This place is a dreamy overload of creative possibilities. Fantastic for those on a budget, wanting to try something new, or just to gain inspiration!Every time I visit, I leave with a unique haul of odds and ends to fuel my next craft bender. SCRAP is good for creative souls and environmentalists alike.

I love this store...I buy so many things here! You never know what you will find from day to day. Helps living so close to the store😂

Really cool place! All kinds of second hand crafting items. If you can think of it, they probably have it. Some really fun and funny stuff!! Check it out if you’re in the area.

I was able to find just what I needed, and they had great other stuff as well, if I would have had more money I would have bought lots of neat stuff. Pretty good prices on most items as well!

Amazing and endless treasure trove! Excellent place for affordable project materials for the individual or groups. Friendly staff, well organized and a great resource for making ideas come to life on a shoestring.

One of the best places in the city. tons of great materials for artists at such an affordable price and such friendly staff.

I was bragging about how awesome this place is and as I was trying to show my friend the great things about it they decided to close an hour earlier than scheduled.

This is a huge store with a massive variety of craft materials. Now if you have *specific* needs it’s going to be a lucky dip as it’s based on what is available.From a knitting, yarn craft perspective the yarns are limited and what is there is not in volumes that would be amenable to projects are its small stashes.Looking for odds and ends? This is your place.

There is a lot of neat and useful stuff in the store and the employees generally seem pretty nice. Ive been to another scrap/recycled items craft store similar to SCRAP and found them to be generally more useful for my projects. Granted the last one I went to was in Colorado Springs so it may not compare fairly.I got a few things that Im pretty happy about for pretty good prices, theres definitely some good deals here, especially if you like making wacky art out of trash and secondhand items. Printer paper here is much more affordable than buying new as well.The yarn selection is pretty dull and not a whole lot cheaper than Id find at sale in craft warehouse or Micheals, but I did find a few things I liked.I also purchased a surprise craft bag which I assumed would have items in it with instructions or something similar. Of course I could blame myself for not having asked what surprise entailed but I was pretty disappointed that I bought a bag of items I would find on my bedroom floor and toss while cleaning a depression mess. I wish there had been a little more info on the label. Perhaps I will find use for it and learn to be more creative with things I might otherwise find unusable; we shall see!I think this is a great place to go before running to another craft store, check it out see what you CAN find, but I wouldnt depend on it for an entire project.Regardless I appreciate the staff and volunteers that make SCRAP PDX possible and hope that SCRAP can continue to grow and serve crafters in pdx.

I looove SCRAP and continue to always go back when Im around. While its a thrift store and youll never know Id they have a certain thing in stock Ive always been able to find what I need (and more)! The staff have always been friendly and helpful, and I appreciate their commitment to COVID-19 safety and consideration of the community. Its also so great to have such a solid resource for finding secondhand craft goods for both the lower price and smaller ecological impact of waste.

Great place to find neat stuff. Everything in the store is used but great for diy or recyclable friendly projects

Bring a couple bags!! I always leave happy and with arms full!

Went there to get carpet scraps, and left with carpet and more! Fun for any and all crafts makers

Its so great to be back at SCRAP. They are all stocked up with goodies and ready for your visit. Find treasures for pennies and help divert usable goods from the waste stream. Its a double win!

Obsessed. Felt like I was in the most stocked art classroom ever. Every city needs this store.

What a neat place! Also very safe COVID shopping policies. Everything the thrifty crafter could ask for, from weaving loom spindles & fabric scraps to bins of rubber stamps & haunted items (*allegedly haunted -- WE SHALL SEE!) Friendly folks working there & great music. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday morning!

So many wonderful items ready to be turned into something new!!! Also, they have funny pictures on the signs.

Unique, supportive approach to foster creativity and collaboration for all ages. I love it! Unlike some Artist Collectives-it is not exclusive. Affordable and accessible to the community.

They changed the layout but it looks great

Creative idea! A great place for re-use old craft supplies and to find random scraps.

What a fun store and a great idea! A crafters dream for sure! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Of your crafty your probably already aware of this place as I feel its so useful.It is super good

Fun art supplies and unexpected items. They also have kids crafty events now.

This place is super crazy awesome!

This is the store you want to visit if you dont want to buy all of that material just for a little project! If they dont have it, you may not need it. Please round up your purchase to help their mission to help the homeless.

I normally know just what im looking for when i come here, but this time i was ready to take on a new hobby, sewing. i dont know the first thing about a needle and thread but Holden was so helpful in giving me the confidence i needed! They were so willing to walk me through each step of how to use a sewing machine and some of the basics of sewing. I really appreciated how knowledgeable and kind they are. thank you again for the help holden!

My favorite store! Always shop here first before going to the office store or craft store. Also a million times better than big box stores when taking kids to pick out little rewards for good behavior.

❤️ this place. Rotate stock frequently, always have interesting product!

I love this place. I love its resourcefulness and repurposing of craft materials. Not only have they been extremely careful during covid times but have a great organized selection of donated products. I highly encourage any art students to take a look in here before shopping at any big brand arts and crafts stores.

They have it all and for cheap! I’m always able to find what I’m looking for when it comes to school supplies and for cheap. Also, staff is super sweet. If you’re short a few cents, they’ll cover you. Couldn’t recommend it more!

This place was Amazing!!!. So much fun my friend and I had. I wanna go back and back and back. If you love crafts, random poster, if you are Artsy, if you like pins, etc... you will have fun there! Goodluck finding them treasures. I walked out feeling like an king with all my cool stuff. Thank you SCRAP PDX!

Woot!!! What a fun place to find all sorts of fun craft supplies, both current and vintage. Will make it a regular spot for me.

You have to be crafty for this store but I did find some good useful stuff

SO cool, definitely a place to go if youre an artist with Any sort of medium!

Amazing staff and plenty of fun options to explore art, create or build something new.

The best parts of the best thrift stores. Going to make so many arts!

A crafters paradise!! This was our first visit and well be back for sure! The girls had a fantastic time making their own stamps in their scrap class.

I cant say enough about this store. Its the most awesome, fun, funky, unique, crafty and handy store Ive ever had the fortune to shop in. I could come here every day and still never fully see everything that there is. Everyday brings in new items that are donated by a wide variety of sources, I dont know specifics but based on the eclectic array of stock Ive seen over the years, Id guess that the stuff comes from regular people and households as well as some businesses and schools. Whats so great is that here you can find things that are now obsolete, or rare random things that you never knew existed, Ive found so many handy gadgets here that Im so grateful to have because they just dont exist in a retail market anymore. I love the clever packets that they create by combining items of similar color or type and packaging them as either grab bags or kits....its handy and convenient to have certain packets already coordinated for you and the prices are exceptionally reasonable most of the time. You dont have to be a crafter to love this store because they have stuff like hardware, connectors, home repair elements, right now they have a big selection of tiles, and theres hard to find electrical stuff, just a mish mash of things. They also have a large section of office supplies...all items range from new or never used to vintage and one if a kind . They have all kinds of paints and related chemicals, both craft related and interior exterior paints...theres just truly so much stuff, I couldnt possibly list it all, if you have an imagination then the skys the limit to what all youd discover here ...calling it a craft store or saying that its a scrapbook heaven, or a sewers delight, or a book utopia, or a party supply source ...and the list goes on, would just be an insult to the wealth of treasures and goodies filling every nook and cranny of this amazing store.

Its like an indoor garage sale. Many of the items were things most people toss in the garbage or the recycle. Went there looking for scrap fabric and was a little disappointed.

Great place for a crafty soul like me! Fantastic selection of used odds and ends with great prices. Its so fun to explore and see what is there. Its never the same things!

I absolutely love this store!!! Any working artist or anyone interested in crafts should go to this second hand craft store. The prices couldnt be any better and the selection of types of mediums and objects that could be part of many different arts or crafts was outstanding. If you do any kind of art or craft go to this store. I recommend her delete that you take bags from other stores especially ones that have handles because you can use these yourself as you leave or donate some to the organization that runs the store. This place hits all of my heartstrings with extraordinarily affordable art supplies AND it is a non-profit organization. Also, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I wish them all the best!

Love this place. I always spend hours in here bc theres so much to look at. Conveniently located near a metro stop so its a quick walk from there. They have things youd never think of saving at home. I looked at a sheet of cork & put it down & dont you know a month later when I was making coasters I couldve used that. So now when Im drawn to something I just buy it & I may or may not use it soon but at least I have it. They have display projects that give good ideas & a craft room set side for kids days. No public bathroom though.

Great place for art/ craft/ creative supplies and lots of upcycled/ reuse/ recycled items.

FFFFFING AWESOME! A place for inexpensive 2nd hand craft items! Many items are by the handful. Great deals starting at $.05 cents! Wine corks two! $.25 cents a handful! No need to drink all that wine yourself lol. Save the money and buy the corks! You won’t regret stopping here.

So nice to find crafting elements for a fraction of the cost, and know that they’re not headed to a landfill. I bought a few pads of construction paper for my home preschoolers for just $1. During Covid times it’s nice to know they’re being very safe, but also giving me the chance to teach my kids about art and recycling at the same time.

Someone should go through all the stuff and throw away the trash because theres a lot of it, not all the pens, paints, brushes, papers etc are usable. But someone with patience could dig through and find something good for some crafts.

It is a place that gets your creativity going. You find non traditional things, scraps of leather,fabric, old pictures, containers. The list is endless you will find things that you dont know what they are. But then you get home and think wow I have a great idea, I wish I had bought that device.

The goodwill of craft supplies. Pretty cool!

My favorite store to visit in Portland

Please support this place!!!! They have the Best, and I mean, the best sticker packs ever.

Loved this place, such a great find. No matter what you need for a craft this place has it. I also love that theyre recycling things and giving them a second life instead of throwing it away

Neat place a lot to look at, It will inspire you to start your next art project

If youre crafty or artistic, this is where you go to find donated art supplies to get for a price anyone can afford.

I love this place for my artwork supplies cause theres always something different and always new here.

Scrap PDX is the place to go for all kinds of stuff you might be looking for! This is a kid friendly place, with tons of crafts, art supplies and literally a barrel full of crayons! Their selection is random but in a good way. They also take donations, so if your clutter is driving you crazy, they’ll take it.

TWEEKERS ONE STOP SHOP. The only thing that they didnt have on the clear craft list was sudifed. They got so many shinies paints glues cuts pastes and canvases that one could stay up all night dedazzling the underbelly of their cell.

All I can say is I cant wait until.normal returns as far as shopping goes. I LOVE Scrap, my friends LOVE Scrap. To not be able to go together, get jazzed up and start at one end of the store working your way across the place, laughing, giggling, getting inspired, sharing with others about what they used 75 various shaped pill bottles or 37 yarmulkes for ....>sigh

Well organized, sanitary entry requirements, big variety

What a jem of a store. Wow affordable and a store full of reusable stuff

Over priced and parking is non existent. I bought a new over priced tube of e6000 from here and its a solid brick, Likely old. I wont be back. $35 for a handful of scrap paper and broken shells.

I love this place you never know what you will find and the prices are great,!

I love this store. So many good finds if you have time to look.

Love the variety of things! I tend to hit it up once every few weeks or so and check out the found pictures. Could spend hours in there. So much to look at

Love 2 shop here for pens and scrapbook supplies people who work there are so nice and helpful

First time here for $25/ yarn bag sale. Friendly, helpful staff. Glad to find it was wheelchair accessible and their covid precautions are listed on the door(masks required, hand santizer on entry, 1 hr shopping limit etc)

GREAT SCRAPS!

Walking through this place makes you want to come up with something to make!Clean, roomy, and well organized. Helpful staff, too! 😀

Fun place to check out if you are in Portland!

Awesome place!!! Thank you! Found so many useful things here for my crafts!

Scrap is fantastic. It is perfect for highly creative people that artistic everything in their environment. The selection is great. The prices are even better and everyone that works there is really nice. They have a lot of great programs for kids and adults from birthday parties to creative workshops. Scrap also has a really cool volunteer program if you want to get involved and support how awesome it is.

It is exactly what the name says.SCRAP!No, its not a high end Jo Ann Fabric© or Collage© its Scrap...scrap fabric, jars,plastic, foam. Patterns are 25¢.Its the good will of craft.. Honestly,if you had a kid with a project or needed to make something here is all the odds & ends u need. We like Good Will so we like Scrap.

Best store EVER! The employees are really nice and very helpful!

This store is awesome! great, friendly employees, great selection of product, and great prices. ❤️

Do you like weird things? Do you like craft supplies? Do you like having no idea you were looking for something until there is a barrel of it right in front of you under a jewel skilled Jesus? SCRAP is probably the place for you. Other than no public bathroom (there are several restaurants in the area that do have one though), this is a great way to spend multiple hours. Strong recommend, I have definitely made some awesome projects from the stuff Ive found here.

If I could give SCRAP more stars, I would. Visits are part art supply thrift store shopping and part treasure hunt. They have something for pretty much any kind of crafting or artmaking, and its all cheap. Save the planet and fund some wonderful community programming while you stock up on supplies!

Great resource, friendly people!!!

What a fun spot to visit and be inspired to create. i found myself digging in bins and walking out with a fresh pile of magazines for my collage projects. i will return to spend more time exploring all the different sections and see what else i find. i have not been in years since before they moved to the downtown location, this space is impressive. a great way to spend a rainy day- visit scrap, and then head home to make art!!! a must for anyone wanting to find neat art supplies at great prices.

Such a fun store! Highly recommend for inexpensive crafting or teaching goods.

Stuff you can use at a very good price

This place looks great, & DEFINITELY has a lotOf Awsome Merchandise Except Everything in the store is WAY Overpriced and not even Realistic for anyone in are community to shop there and be able to Afford it at this time in are lifes with the VIRUS FROM HELL LOL AND The Economy in such Distress I rate this store a 2+ and thats being Nice.Thanks All; God Bless AMERICA ....

The place has a pot of cool stuff and the staff are really nice

I feel like this place was made from my hopes and dreams. Need something weird for a project? Need a bit of inspiration to get you started? Here is my first stop on any crafting hunt.

Really cool store for creatives!

Best craft store in Portland

I love this place, dont get me wrong but I think the 5 dollar charge to go in is a bit much. I know these are hard times but I dont pre-charge my customers, no one should. Ask for donations, sure. People are going to buy stuff and Im sure they would even donate an extra buck or two but it should be their choice to donate. Ive never gone there and left empty-handed. I know the charge could go towards your purchase or as a donation but it just felt really strange to me.

Get inspired for pennies! I buy as many of my art and craft supplies as I can at Scrap. I love their mission of preventing waste and sparking creativity. I can always find something exciting even if Im not looking for anything!

Such a delightful mix of random stuff stacked up next to all the varied art mediums you might expect of an art store. Go in there looking for one thing and find 3 ya didnt think you would find.Without breaking the bank. ;)

I can always find good items to use when cresting my art; and at good prices.
