Such a great selection and pricing! I really enjoyed talking to the staff as well. I think I could spend another 3 hours in there without getting bored! A bag of many treasures for

I love this place so much - definitely could spend all day here! I love getting yarn, fabric and other supplies here.

Recycle, reuse, renew: very cute store with tons of bits and pieces of art supplies. I got a ton of glitter for around a dollar .

I had a great time getting to check this store out! It is a treasure trove for crafter and makers. This is definitely going to be my go-to for bits and bobs for future projects.

I love this place soooo much!!! Ive been wanting to get into knitting and sewing and I randomly stumbled into this amazing place! i got everything i was needing and more at the best price. These stores need to become more of a thing, I wish there was one back home in California id be there. This community here is amazing :)

This place is fabulous. I wish it was a few dollars less, but also, you totally get what you pay for. Theres an art docent, and toys and supplies and its so fun. I only wish it was cheaper so we could come more frequently, totally worth it though.The kids started in the toy area and eventually warmed up to the paint area and then went nuts with all the painting and drawing on the floor. So fun. Well be utilizing our punch card for sure!!!

Such a good option to take the little ones. We had a great morning going there and playing. The playroom upstairs is also well equipped and safe.

A gold mine for both people who make things and people who like finding weird/old/mysterious things. Im both and I love this place.

My daughter had a fabulous time going through all the treasures at super low prices. Very friendly staff and excellent COVID precautions.

Friendly staff, a great place to buy art supplies for cheap, and a great place to browse and get inspired

Has a little bit of everything as far as art and craft supplies, I love going there for inspiration.

Very cool store with great prices and friendly staff. Its great if you dont need a ton of a product, like if you need a piece of sandpaper but dont want to buy a whole new roll because most of it would go to waste. definitely worth a visit, and Ill be coming back soon.

This place is dangerous if you like creative activities. An art and craft treasure hunt.

Forgot the rating. To recap: thrift store of crafts, useful for starting out, small but mighty. Check regularly as items come in and out, stuff for pennies on the $

I love this place! So much amazing material that is donated from other crafters. And super cheap! Plus a play space and they have workshops so great for rainy days!

Like rummaging through the collective craft room of a small town. Fantastic array of stuff. I think it would take at least 5 visits before I fully understood everything they have. I cant wait to return!

Need a little bit are a large bit of art supply for whatever your are creating go here!

Love this place! Its like a thrift store but art supplies. I could spend hours here

This is a great little neighborhood re-use art store. You never know what you will find, and Ive gotten some hidden treasures a few times. I stop in anytime Im nearby.

Favorite local place to shop for cheap craft supplies. Inventory is always fun and exciting.

Best place to get super cheap fabric ($2 a yard!!) and sustainable, too. I can not stress this enough- they have everything you could possibly want for any project, leather-working, sewing, painting, crocheting, jewelry making....

I love the while idea behind this. It makes my girlfriend so happy to shop there, and its so cheap! Its all nonprofit, so I donate a little extra when I can.

After living in Seattle for years I just found out about this place. I found out about it through Ballard Reuse. It was so awesome! The store is small and full but amazingly organized for how many things they have. Prices are really fair, staff seemed happy and helpful. The range of supplies is vast but quality seemed great across the board. I am going to be back again and again, its going to be my first stop before going to major craft stores.

My kids got gift certificates from a family member for this place. Great concept but things were poorly executed. Little one went upstairs with her Grandpa and older son looked around the store for materials. Once he was done he headed to the space in the back to create. The workers helped us get set up only to have a very rude teacher of some sort come and kick us out. I checked the calendar for the space before heading there to make sure both kids could enjoy their time. Nothing about a class on the calendar and the workers helped us get set up so they obviously didnt know about the class either. But the instructor felt it was his space and felt okay kicking out a 10-year old kid being creative rather than share the space. Plus then we just had to sit in the store waiting for his sister to finish up. She still left early meaning we paid $12 for about 30 minutes without being offered any refund for their scheduling mistake. Like the concept not the execution.

Some place I will be going back to and tell more people about

I love this nonprofit! Its like a treasure hunt, good place to find paint, fabric, and all kinds of odds and ends that have been donated. Love the concept, the staff are very kind, and I always leave inspired!

So much cool stuff to sort through!

Awesome store! Craft supplies are so expensive but this store is such a smart way to be sustainable and do inexpensive projects. Really missing this store during covid closure and I’ll be back as soon as they open up!

What a neat place. Stop buying craft supplies anywhere else. This place has everything you could ever need and you can buy exactly as much as you need. Incredibly low prices (consider donating your change as this is a nonprofit).

This shop was an amazing find! So many great craft and art supplies in such a small shop. I think we were there for an hour altogether, and only found out about the kids space upstairs in the last 20 minutes. Fun for the whole family, as long as your family are artsy/crafters.

A great spot in Greenwood with recycled wares and re-used products that are priced for a steal stock up on staples, craft supplies and those hard to find do dads plus a missing earring back or anything else you need....want some more information? The staff can assist you with your projects and they are happy to let you go upstairs and work on their sewing machines or anything else space permitting. Note classes and birthday parties do book ahead so its wise to phone first for you to use the loft area. Looms/wheels/machines/ parties /space permitting

Not much in alcohol inks but the staff was incredibly friendly and check out was a breeze in a social distance Environment

10% educator discount AND a free bag of fabric scraps for teachers ( while supplies last)?!!? Yes, please 🙂As a teacher, I always get extra pens, pencils, crayons and binders here for super cheap. Feels good to be able to not have to buy brand new things constantly to keep my shelves full of materials for the students.

Oh I adore this place. Always sweet people working their, the prices are astoundingly cheap, and I love how they foster community with their classes. If youre a creative type, stop in here every so often. Most likely youll find something to inspire you.

What a fun place! I came to donate some needle felting supplies and enjoyed looking at all the great items available to artists and craftspeople.

I love this place so much and how active they are in repurposing art and craft supplies. Ive donated to them several times and love seeing the various events they have available.

Such great deals

So many things! I wish I had more time to just create.

Weekday open play/paint was kind of a bummer. I appreciate the recycle/reuse mission, but my kid was definitely not on board with one paint color to choose from or very comfortable with the overall setup. The play/paint space is an upstairs loft area about the size of a small bedroom, packed wall to wall with reusables and odd toys and books but with no sink. Awkward arrangement with good intentions I suppose.

The donation policy should be clearly posted on the door (preferably in large font), so other customers don’t waste their time. I waited in line for 20 minutes only to be told you need an appointment for donations. This would’ve been fine, but annoying. However, the person working was fairly rude.

Lots of pattern books!

If you are in to arts and crafts, saving money, and reducing waste, this is the place for you! Every shopping trip unearths different treasures at incredibly low prices. They also have a variety of creative, educational programs for all ages, and take donations of those supplies that you arent using. Plus the people there are awesome.

Coolest place ever. Second hand art supplies for pretty much any craft. Great for people who do collage because they always have cool old books, magazines, maps and more. I’ve found yarn, kits, and beading stuff here. They have anything you can imagine and since it’s all second hand the selection always varies.

Most importantly, I appreciate the stores penchant for recycling and I certainly appreciate those who in turn support the store and keep it in business. If you are a local and in need of some random craft supplies, this is a great place to go.I am not a local. Instead I went out of my way to visit this shop. Being an avid thrift store shopper, including the famous Goodwill outlets, I doubt Ill return to this store. Personally, I was expecting higher quality, albeit used, art supplies. No such luck. Yes they did have some used Golden mediums, but the price was so high Id rather pay a bit more and get a full new bottle. Again, maybe I was being unrealistic hoping to find a quality Copic marker or a quality watercolor pencil.... And honestly upon opening the file cabinet marked markers and seeing a huge jumble of what looked like cheap Crayola and Rose Art markers, I didnt look too hard. Im sure buried treasures can be found.If you need a green button, this is the place to go. If you need a handful of nails or pen caps or random scrapbook paper, again, this is the place to go. Especially if you are within walking distance and dont have easy access to anywhere else. As for me, I will stick with my beloved, and closer, thrift stores.

The toddler art classes are fantastic. The teacher tailored the activities to my child and made her feel very welcome in a new place. Plus, we took home some fun things to play with!

Awesome vibes. Cashier was really nice

Great recycling store, with lots of stuff good for small projects and especially kids art projects. Accepts donations, sells or gives sorted materials to schools and community centers as supplies for art classes/activities. Keeps stuff which still has potential out of the land fill, allows kids and all to get project supplies inexpensively. Holds some classes for children to be creative.

Good for what ails your crafting supplies stash.

If the corporate overlords who are literally tearing down every small independent shop in Seattle try to go after this place, I will protest with a hunger strike to prevent it from happening.Any crafter should be aware of this place, and everyone else, too. From miscellaneous hardware to construction paper and crayons, to random pieces of wood and plastic and paper, and yarn and paint, and fabric, and beads, and jars and frames and......its repurposing, the original recycling.Love this place.

A wonderful place to upcycle random goods. They also give discounts to teachers, who can find some fun materials for arts and other school projects.

Actually went to drop off some art supply donations but Ill definitely be back! They recycle used but functional supplies and sell them to parents and artists on a budget. Really great place

It is the most amazing store for craft and art supplies. Especially if you are a knitter, sewer, or make jewelry! I get all of my yarn here now, and it has a never-ending supply of new materials to make art with (scrapbooking, collage, they have lots of old photographs, greeting cards). It is a huge treat every time I go here. And its sustainable and low priced! The volunteers and workers here are lovely too. :-)

Love this store. Reuse recycle all kinds of cool art stuff

Everyone who works there was so kind! There was a pretty wide selection of fabric (the material I went in for) at a kind of ridiculously low price. Definitely a new favorite place for craft materials (to donate and purchase alike)! What a great model.

Everytime I visit there is something new to spark my creativity. I am hosting a retreat in November and decided to check out what they might have to use instead of buying all the supplies new. I got everything I needed and more.

This place itself is a work of art: made with volunteer labor and eclectic donated goods that stoke creative imagination. The unpredictability of what you might find here makes this place more valuable to creative people than any chain craft store.

ReCreative is a great spot to pick up odds and ends for art projects and all kinds of trinkets that you didn’t know you needed. The inventory turns over quickly and varies a lot, so you can’t count on finding something specific there but you’ll probably be able to find quite a few great little items for very reasonable prices

These people are my kind of people. They see the possibilities to reuse, remake, salvage, and restore all manner of things everyone else throws away. As a hoarder in training, this is a place that allows me to donate things I know someone will love instead of keeping it until I have time for it.Also the perfect place to visit if your kids is exploring new interests. Buy used tubes of oil paint for a fraction of the investment and see if they get hooked before sinking hundreds into new supplies.

Great place to rummage for second hand art supplies for cheap! They had tons of jewelry stuff, beads, thread, sewing patterns, etc. Im mostly into fabric crafts but they also had a ton of stuff for visual artists. Make your crafts using recycled goods!

Wow! Im so glad a place like this exists. This is a place to go at the start of any art or craft project or just to get ideas. The local community donates items for craft reuse, Seattle ReCreative sells it nominal price. The store is very well organized for array of items that they have. Youll find everything from art books and paint to scrap fabrics and film canisters. The first time I popped in to look around, I spent an hour and half inside and walked out with a whole bag of art and sewing supplies for under $16. Best deal in town. There is a family participation area with staff assistance, where kids can go and be create and explore. This store is truly serving the community. Parking best found on the street.

Love this place. Cheap random art supplies. Sometimes you find what you need but mostly browsing sparks creative ideas.

Seattle ReCreative is a wonderful place! Highly recommend checking it out. Just be careful - you might end up with too many ideas! More than you could ever create. ;)

I love the little treasures I find here for my artwork. Its worth it to dig for an hour or so and find the perfect elements. Their sales cant be beat.

What an awesome concept and cause! I stopped by to get my girlfriend an Easter present and scored some quality pastel pencils and a couple funky pads for her to draw on. The guy working there was super friendly, too.

Fun place to browse and find things you didnt know you needed. An almost full crepe steamer for 0.50. a yard of long fringe for $1. Paper, yarn, fabric, art supplies. Worth the trip.

What a gift to find. There so much to see and lets your creativity explode with all types of options

Great place to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids. Many recycled materials and tools to build little projects without spending money. Affordable and fun. The top floor has a play area with toys for toddlers. Parking can be challenging.

Cheap, and super interesting. You never know what youll find. Also super friendly staff.

Wasnt sure if the employee was in costume for Halloween or just dresses like that all the time, but I was glad to be helped by a member of Srgt Peppers Band. What a great weird grab bag of junk this place has.

Fantastic selection and super cheap prices!

A craft thrift store? Um yes! Always new inventory and very reasonably priced items. Such a fun treasure hunt.

Great resource for teachers, providers & families. They have open craft times (leave the mess behind & take the craft home) plus TONS of creative ideas & recycling supplies. A SEATTLE TREASURE!!

Great for people to bring their kids from 9am - 12pm. Drop in is $12, but it is every bit worth the fun your kid is going to have painting and playing in the playspace.Say hi to Mike.

A second hand store for arts and crafts is a fantastic idea. I visit often because they get new stuff all the times. The price of art material can be a bit high though.

SuchAGreatIDEA(S)! I love this place for Paint Playground for kids :)

This place is a wonderful resource for upcycled creative goods, but the front desk staff is so rude! Ive donated a few times and sadly have never had a pleasant experience with them. Disappointing!

This place is the BOMB!!! Great resource for teachers, students & recycle fanatics everywhere plus they have open craft studios where you can create & then leave the mess behind. If you have a craft need but dont know how to they can help as well. Truly a Seattle hidden treasure!!

People in the neighborhood werent nice, the people working there werent nice at first but warned up - who knows what was going on with them. I felt the prices were way too high. But I really appreciate the service they provide.

Love this place!! Goodies for us Artsy people!!

Theres something for everyone in this cool, quirky thrifty art supply store, that also hosts classes and kid activities

Best prices for art supplies. I love browsing around. And they take all sorts of donations. Check the website for more information.

This place is amazing and so well organized. Absolutely the best deal in town for all your crafting needs.

A great little thrift shop that is absolutely craft and art oriented they have everything from tours of little marbles or small tiles 2 random sewing notions a wall of button cards just absolutely a great place to stop by and checked out if you are any kind of artist or craft person

Great organization, making use of left over materials and using them to do Art education for under-privileged kids. Combining Reuse, Recycle with education. Why wouldnt anyone like them? Their store is like a treasure trove, too.

THIS is the crafting room / knick-knack workshop of your dreams. Were cleaning out the stacks and piles in the garage and donating them here. And well GLADLY come in to create in their ordered, warm, well-lit and cheerfullly staffed space when we are ready to make. Its gonna be weird parking the cars in the garage again!

Fabulous store for recycled art supplies of ALL kinds in Greenwood, limited parking in alley in back!

Great selection of upcycled art supplies. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great classes! I love the makerspace!

A thrift store for arts and crafts odds and ends, unused and partially-used paints, art sets, wrapping paper, card stock and many other supplies. Everything is donated, saving unused and neglected arts and crafts supplies, materials and tools from the landfill. Everything is really cheap. Many items are $1 or less. Some nicer/more premium used tools and supplies, too. Proceeds go to kids art classes.Great store to find that brush or tool you need for a project that you KNOW should only cost $1-2, but big box stores want $4.99 for. No guarantee they have what you are looking for since they are donation-based, but it is great to explore and browse around because you are almost certain to find something useful.

Great selection of things you can use to do art, like buttons, formica samples, yarn, and lots of different random stuff. The employees are very friendly and process are incredibly cheap. So cheap that I wonder how they stay in business. A whole basketfull of stuff costs about $10. This is not a store with new things, like Michaels. Its old, used, but still useable things that are very affordable.

Great place to buy craft supplies at a great price

Awesome non-profit with a rotating inventory, based on donations. staff is friendly, and the prices are amazing on the things there (i.e., $2/yard for all fabrics). also helps prevent items from going to the landfill!

Great place to find crafts for kids and for the schools! Lots of low cost items such as fabric, thread, yarn, stamps, paper, etc!

Best place in town to buy recycled arts and crafts supplies.

Awesome place to find art and crafting materials for way cheaper than traditional art supply stores. And diverting goods from landfills! Yes please!

Unique Boutique with a wide variety of supplies for you artistic endeavors!

Art supplies, fabric, notions, trinkets, & things you didnt even know you needed, are a plenty. Friendly knowledgeable staff.Help keep things out of the waste stream bt donating craft & art supplies, as well as shop for things for your next project ...

Seattle ReCreative hosted a birthday party for my girls 10th birthday and it was brilliant. the teachers were sweet, helpful and engaging and the activities had all birthday guests completely engaged and happy. the cost of the party was super reasonable and included everyone being able to take home a bag of goodies to do more creating at home. we really had the best time. thanks to Marva & Jona for making it memorable and lots of fun!

This place is like a dream for every artist. I come here all the time to rummage through and find any supplies I need for a project. Prices are a steal! I dont think Ive spent more than $10 on any visit.

A thrift store for crafty people

Such a great idea! Perfect way to affordably get into art.
