Reuse for Arts & Crafts

Absolute gem of a place ran by an absolute gem of a woman. Frida’s creations are all over the store for anyone short of inspiration. Both her and her husband were helpful with concerns over an item or questions on how to use them. Items are categorized well and each category has a great selection. The last picture shows the items I picked up my first time around. Will definitely be back and refer all of my crafty friends 💖

I think the owners are nice and love that they're creative but this store is WAY overpriced .. selling a dvd for 5 dollars is nuts.. i saw one labeled for $29.99????... regular movie btw. i also bought what i thought to be an iranian photograph album from the cover (taped shut so u couldnt look at the "pictures" btw) just to find empty amazon brand protecting sheets .. with no pictures... 🙁 i wanted to support their business as they're both artists but as artists u should support creativity and not scam ppl idk

I love going here for all of my oil and watercolor paint supplies. It's a wonderful place for so many things. I donated a bunch of at supplies that I wasn't using, many brand new. Keep an eye out because sometimes, but rarely, something might be marked more expensive than new. The people working here are the nicest ever.

This place is small but CRAMMED with all kinds of used and donated craft materials, including sewing. It's right on san pablo on the west side of the street. Set your phone timer so you don't get a ticket because you were engrossed in looking through everything. Take your extra craft materials here and donate them. Bring your half finished, never going to be finished projects. The art supplies you or a friend or family member no longer use. Sewing and craft books you no longer want. Also donate gift bags or other decent bags that can be used. The owner uses them to put your purchases in so she is not buying new bags. My purchases came home in a used wine bottle gift bag. Unfortunately, I don't think this place is wheelchair accessible due to narrow aisles, but a smaller walker might be OK.

The first time I came here, it was so fun! I bought all kinds of needle felting tools and materials. But the second time…no. I donated several yards of good fabric, along with coconut buttons and cones of polyester thread. I saw a cool large button that I was interested in buying and asked how much it cost. The owner said $1. I said, "Oh! It’s made from abalone shell. The owner then said, "Oh, then it’s more expensive". Seriously??? I just donated a bunch of very nice fabric and buttons to your for-profit store. I didn’t say that, but I should’ve. I will not be returning.

What a lovely place! Lots of cool stuff. Staff was very friendly. The place is not huge but you can spend HOURS browsing and looking around. Love it. Will be back for sure!

Wonderful store! Family owned and operated. I spent a while talking to the owner, Frida. She was very friendly and helpful. Excellent materials for any and all arts and crafts. Unique items and good for the planet. They also accept donations of any art supplies if you have stuff to give.
