This store is a budget crafters paradise. They have tons of supplies that you would normally only be able to buy in bulk, like buttons, fabric swatches, string, stickers, paper, (and more) and a treasure trove of jewelry sold by the ounce. I got all the things in the photo for less than $2 total. So cheap! It doesnt even seem fair. But Ill be donating some of my own jewelry back, so it evens out 😁 (Note, it can be hard to find earrings with pairs, but thats fine by me cuz I can use them as necklaces or for making hair clips or wear them asymmetrically!) They also have larger items like glue guns, trophies, baskets, bottles, and a bunch of other random things. My friend bought a lap harp last time we were there. Its such an adventure. And its really nice to know that there is a place where I can take my random junk that I decide I dont have a purpose for so that it wont go to waste. It might be exactly what someone else needs to complete their project. How fun!

This is a craft paradise!! You can find ANYTHING for your craft project!! You can even find crafts to do that you never thought about doing!! This is a diamond in the rough!! You can also clean out your current craft room and donate to SCRAP!! I highly recommend stopping by for some fun!! Also, it cost me much less than a craft store!! The people are friendly and if you want you could help out and volunteer there!!

This place Never disappoints my daughter and I! Awesome prices and ppl!

NEW LOCATION ! (As of November 9th 2019). They are no longer down by Costco but over on Washtenaw Ave right next to Once Upon A Child. This is a genius move! I am always stopping into the kids clothing store for things and here is another perfect stop for craft supplies, busy board making, hot glue gun projects, sewing supplies, sensory bins with little treasures, bits of this and bits of that...Go check it out!

Went here to drop of a bunch of paper crafting supplies. And I walked out purchasing rare stamp/dies set at super cheap! (Saw the set online for at lease $20-40)

The people who actually work here and not volunteer are the rudest people. We were in there for about 30Minutes and the two ladies never said hi at all. When I went to check out the black haired lady with tattoos all over her arms she tried to scam me. The price on the box said 25 cents a stem and she tried to charge me for 3 stems and a large bundle $10. When I explained what the box said she got rude about it and refused to go by what it says. So all the items I had on the table I walked from. She didn’t care. I’ve been to habitat and many places where they honor their prices. This place doesn’t. It’s no wonder they had to move into 1/3 of a building than the older one and all the drip on there is more trash than it used to be. Their advertisement on Facebook is false. Never coming back. Which as the lady at the register would probably say , that’s fine.

Great local business dedicated to reuse and waste reduction.Great for creative artistic minds of all ages.The staff is great.This business has been hit hard by the pandemic please stop in to help them if you can.

Its great to see that this place exists! Their displays are very well organized - its like being in a tourist or standard craft store. I hope that many people will take advantage of it!

This store has a little bit of everything. Things other people might consider junk until you see how the workers have set them up to be cute crafts. You can find lots of paper, old CDs/ vinyls, binders, boxes, canvass and sometimes new stuff too. Either way, worth checking out.

Very cool place to shop! Go with an idea of what you need for craft supplies or be surprised while browsing.

SCRAP is amazing. The staff is very nice and helpful, everything there is extremely cheap, and you can find all sorts of items that are very difficult to find in regular stores. That makes SCRAP great for makers.

I normally spend a lot of money in your store but my last two trips have put quite a damper on my enthusiasm.Your fill a bag bags have gotten smaller while prices have gone up a lot per bag. Moreover, the choices in fill a bag area have narrowed quite a bit and youve moved many of the usual items into the individually priced area and raised those prices too - well beyond reasonable for recycled items.Lately it seems you are less interested in getting things recycled than you are in making a substantial profit off donations.I, for one, have decided your original vision has been left behind in favor of profit. This might be why youve seen such a large drop in shopping.

This place is fantastic! Love coming here and finding just what I need for my next crafting project, and always at awesome prices!

I love this place. I always find the coolest things for a great price! For me... Its a scrapbookers dream.

I drove all the way from Grand Rapids, when I heard they needed people to shop to keep it open. When I arrived during opening hours the doors were closed and the lights were off. No sign or explanation. A few of us were out there waiting for a while. We called scrap and sent Facebook messages and heard nothing. Im really disappointed that I drove 4 hours for nothing. I understand that things happen, but at least have a little common courtesy. Leave a note or something.

Interesting store full of hidden gems!

Im a repeat customer, love this place! The staff are always inviting and helpful. You can find just about everything you need for crafting, or some hand-me-down goodies. The shelves are always rotating with what is donated, so its not a surefire thing youll see the same thing twice. Just think a thrift store, but for crafts!

Have always loved the Scrapbox. Went this weekend and there was no sign on the door why they were closed.. The website also did not mention that they were closed. Could use better signage and updates on the website

Our 8-year-old had an excellent birthday party here. Kamron Reynolds did a great job picking an appropriate craft project, inspiring the kids, helping out when they got stuck, and drawing out our shy son. Kids and parents all seemed to enjoy themselves. The Scrap Box made all the arrangements easy and were responsive when we had a couple questions. Wed happily do it again.

Lots of donated and second hand items for art and craft activities at a very low price. Great place for preschool supplies.

We had a great experience here and would have stayed longer if we had time. My daughter loved looking around and checking out all the neat items. We bought a bunch of craft supplies for next to nothing. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

SCRAP has moved locations!Open now at 4567 Washtenaw Ave Tuesday - Sundsy 10am - 7pm! Their fresh new home, expanded hours, and awesomely accessible and ADA compliant space are AMAZING.

Absolutely wonderful craft resource almost no matter the craft. If you are even simply looking to be artistically creative and need project ideas, this shop is wonderful. All of their goods are donated, so the variety is astounding.

I love this store and all of the recycled products they sell. However, the reason Im leaving a 2 star review is because of the staff. Im not sure if its because Im a minority or not, but the staff definitely treats me differently than other customers. I am almost never greeted at the door (only one woman greets me), while customers that follow me are greeted with hellos and smiles. I am not offered any assistance or told of any new products/sales like other customers. When I go to checkout, I am usually ignored until I say something (again, one woman is an exception). I do not feel welcome at this store. I continue to shop here because I cannot find certain products anywhere else, but if a similar shop opened I would take my business elsewhere. I am a cashier, and I would never treat my customers like this. I treat all customers the same, with a bright smile and a hello. The staff at this store could definitely work on their customer service skills.

I love this place. Me and a few friends went here and really enjoyed it. The staff was really helpful and friendly. They have all sorts of stuff!

An amazing place filled to the brim with recycled supplies,that can be used for arts and crafts. Also have craft classes. I love this place.

I have always loved this store! I took my two granddaughters and they spent over 2 hours looking at everything in awe and wonder! They were so excited about their purchases, too. The staff was wonderful, as usual!

This is a fantastic (non for profit) store that re-uses and re-cycles a multitude of items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Amazing items for children, crafts, and many other imaginative uses. Weve been going there for years and the volunteer staff has always been wonderful.

Very helpful

Incredible store for craft materials and second use craft things. The best deals are paper, cardboard, stamps, materials for projects, fabrics, buttons, ribbons...). Their facebook page has pictures of new arrivals. Great prices per unit (so it might be a place children can buy things with their collection of pennies). Few items are not well priced (almost dead markets as example) tough but you can leave them there or ask the manager for a better price.

My kids and I love this place. I give them a budget and we usually walk out with so much neat things. Its like a treasure hunt for things you probably dont need but want. I love how every time I go in I find something new. Prices are very reasonable on most things. My kids usually go straight for the gems and fill a bag stations. We brought home 3 bags of foam one day and I dont even know why 😂. My dog also likes when I go, I come home with tennis balls galore! 😁

As an art teacher, I shop here often. I see lots of happy customers of all ages and skin color. There are always customers giving each other ideas and staff guiding people to unique materials they might use for their projects. Our community is lucky to have this treasure ~ putting value back into items that need not be discarded.

Such a unique concept, you can find all sorts of supplies here for cheap.

Great place to inspire creativity.

My grandpa used to take me to the Scrap Box when I was a kid. Coming back decades later, the place still holds up, especially now that I do things like LARP. Super awesome place, would definitely recommend that everyone checks it out.

Super friendly. Really interesting assortment of stuff to kick start your imagination.

Amazing experience for a 7 year old’s birthday party. They were completely accommodating, organized, fun, and the kids learned and got to be creative. Also the cost was extremely reasonable and included ‘shopping’ for the kids in the bulk area of the store. Morgan, who runs parties and workshops was absolutely amazing. By far the best birthday party we have ever done.

Such a cool place! You never know what you will find.

An artists (or Moms) dream. They have everything you can imagine for all crafts, and then some. Go there when you have time, so you can browse properly. One persons junk is another ones treasure. They have yarn, needles, thread, tons of buttons, fabric scraps, patterns, trims, crayons,plastic dohickies, thingamabobs and whatnots. The lady at the register is super sweet.

This used to be my biggest excitement to visit now its seems to be less quality and higher prices guess ill be taking a break from here

Love this place for all kinds of haunted house treasures! Great for kids projects too.

We had a great birthday party for my son at The Scrap Box. Morgan was a wonderful host and kept the kids engaged with a lot of projects and a friendly, creative atmosphere!

The staff at this store are rude and treat customers differently. Im Latina, and they clearly favor their paler customers over me. They never say hello, always question where I found items, and question if the things in my bag are from the appropriate areas. Everytime I shop here, theres a problem with a price or an item was in the wrong spot. I am not a thief, and Im always honest as to where I found items. But the staff always treats me like Im trying to rip them off. Im done with these folks. Ill take my business elsewhere.

Unique store with odds and ends. Perfect for crafters or treasure hunters.

Really cool place with a lot of niche craft stuff.

Good prices on any sort of scrap you might want for various fun art projects.

Would give it a 5 except for the staff and their snobby attitude. At first I thought it was them having a bad day. But after reading other reviews I agree the staff need a work over. They too were friendly to other people of color then me. Great place to get anything. Just bad attitudes.

Love this place

They have tons of stuff!! Their inventory depends on donations, so they always get more items in. They have supplies for sewing, scrapbooking, jewelry making, all sorts of crafts. They have yarns, thread, beads, leather scraps, party supplies, used cassettes, CDs, VHS tapes records, and more.

They have new employees and much better customer service!

The best place to go for elementary crafts and classroom ideas.

What an amazing place to shop. This is a great resource for teachers, homeschoolers and crafters alike.

Great place for DIYs, craftey people, and makers.

Read the article in the Observer. Noticed that the staff have taken to reviewing the store themselves in an attempt to raise ratings. Dishonest people taking over an Ann Arbor treasure.

A teachers dream. A scout leaders dream. Also for grandmothers.

Love that place!!! So many cool knickknacks and craft supplies!!!

Excellent. Helpful employees!

This place is freakin amazing

Nice store. Terrible customer service!

Nice place for projects, kid loved it!

This store has gone downhill since the last time I was in. Staff are awful. Wont be going back.

Great place for families

So much fun!!

ALL THE CRAFTS!¡!

Great
