I was asking a couple of days ago whether there is a local craft supply thrift store.

THERE IS. Creative Reuse Inc.

I wish they weren't on Meta, but it seems that's all they have. They're in the process of moving into a new space in South O - Clover24, 2200 S 24th St. They take donations of supplies!

Buying art supplies to fill up your studio is a different hobby than making art #art #artist #visualart #trafitionalart #artsupplies #craftsupplies

Ooh, I'm sure there are people who will find this useful:

Quoting:

"I think I saw someone on here remininscing about bags of leftover trim used in childhood crafting and lamenting they couldn't find anything similar.

"They aren't free, but Secret Projects UK do have boxes of buttons, offcuts and times for sale on their site."

Swatch your @pinkfreshstudio inks! Download labels and templates from ValleyOakPaper.com.

It's fun just to play with the swatches with all the pretty colors. They're also great for matching with cardstock, @sarahrenaeclark's Color Cube or other inks.

I find that I use supplies I've swatched more than those I haven't. It feels better not to "fly blind."

There's nothing like coming home with a big thrift score that you managed to keep within budget! Woo!

Mostly, it's a bunch of craft supplies that will be wonderful mark makers with my gel plate... a bunch of textured rubber stamps, including some roller stamps, a new sketchbook, a shape cutting kit, a bunch of little bits of textured fabric....

I also picked up a small salad spinner which I want to use with the fluid art supplies I got as a gift for Christmas.

AND I managed to score a bra in my size for $6 that looked like it wasn't ever put on... something that feels nothing short of a miracle because I'm in one of those larger sizes that doesn't get sold anywhere but small boutiques and on the Internet, so this find in particular pretty much saved me $63.

Not bad for a $44 expenditure overall.

I got to the point where my craft supplies needed a project of their own to store them.

It's not fancy, but I'm pretty pleased with the shelves I built to hold my laser-cutting materials. I used almost all scrap-wood from previous projects, retained all my digits while using the table saw, and perhaps most impressively, it fit in the cabinet on the first try!

The only shortcoming is that it's immediately apparent I should have built two.

Reminding myself that during Craftmas Season (first day of Autumn - Little Christmas)fabric, beads, and other craft supply stores are all getting slammed and that I should not act a fool while waiting for my fabric. Especially if I'm ordering online, I should use the sense my parents instilled in me. I know better...

I still want my fabric. I restarted a challenge for that fabric.

Do you create and sell art / craft supplies? I know there are a few folk here who make their own pigments and sell their own paints, or who dye and spin yarn to sell, etc.

Introduce yourself and the things you make and sell below, with your shop links!

You might enjoy putting together miniatures if you buy super glue like this. #mineature #craftsupplies
