I absolutely love this place! The new location is even better. I love going and finding art supplies I’ve never had the money to experiment because art supplies can a major investment. The volunteers are super helpful and friendly. My kiddo feels like he’s going to a special place because they can pick out “treasures” and I can afford to say “sure”! This place inspires us to be imaginative and thoughtful.

ACR is amazing, and I appreciate everyone contributing there so much! Because of them, I now use sustainable + upcycled pieces in my work whenever possible. They have a huge selection for every kind of art project you can think of, so I always plan to stay a few hours to look through everything!I just recently made an appointment and donated to them, the process was really easy :-) their employees and volunteers are the best and so so kind. Im grateful that our city has Austin Creative Reuse!

Love. Love, love that storeI do a lot of charity sewing and I can find all sorts of items for next to nothing.

Do not make the mistake I did and take your 6 yr old with you after school when really you just want to relax and have a good time. This is what she picked out, I didnt find anything. Not for lack of selection again just my poor choice to bring my kid with me. This is one of my favorite stores in Austin and you should definitely check it out. Be sure to wear a mask! I

Mask Nazis! I was attacked by six people attempting to force me to wear a mask. When I did not consent, they threatened to call the police. Won’t be back!

Love this place ❤But you need to have time to shop. So much stuff you need at Least 3-4 hours, if not all day.

I love this place. Its like a treasure hunt, you never know what youre going to find. And I admire the mission, it makes me want to rethink throwing craft items away. So I donate some, and buy some. Its like trading things that I wont use for things that I will.

Amazing all of the items they are able to save from the landfill and the way people creatively use them in their projects. There is so much here!

Ive been buying from this center for years. Back when they use to be in another location. I always find more than what I need. I love the variety. As a person who los art and sewing. This place is amazing. Will continue to come shop. I love how everything is sectioned out too. Great job!!!!

Its awesome! My 14 year old and I just spent 2 hours in there trying to soak it all in. Everything is really priced to sell. We will be back!

Very organized. Everything you can think of is here. If you cant find it ask the friendly employees.

This place is so cool - with new donations coming in all the time and a really generous definition of what counts as a creative item you never know what sort of interesting things youll find here. Fabric, thread, beads, drawing pencils, little decorative birds, odd glass bottles, storage containers.... You never know what will spark inspiration or what great deal youll find.

I have been going to this place since it was in its old location near ACC. I absolutely adore this art thrift store its the best out of all the ones Ive been to. You Can Not Beat The Prices. This is where you go if you want to try something new or pick up supplies for a project. They have everything you can possibly think of and more I would recommend this for literally every occasion. Need a birthday/christmas/holiday present? This is the place. Date idea? This is the place. Want to volunteer or donate art supplies? This Is The Place!

Love this place! Staff is friendly and I can find tons of paper craft items as well as other fun stuff.

Wow had to go back the next day because I had such a great experience! Staff is amazing. Prices are unbeatable. Just GO! Trust me!

Great place foe knitters! Got 25 dollars worth of yarn! If your into arts and crafts this store is for you!!!!

So much bigger than the original store! And a work area for quilters and craft groups.

If you love a treasure hunt, ACR will be your thing! Its a thrift store for crafters, artists and junkers. Staffers are like minded, funky and friendly. And after you Marie Kondo your supply of this n that, be sure to donate here (you will need an appointment).

Nice atmosphere! Will be a regular now ☺️

Lots of great stuff & very helpful staff

Such a great resource. They are managing social distancing well (20 in store max, check in out front). Staff is consistently helpful and friendly. Always a positive experience going here. And you can find some great stuff for cheap!

Best place ever for crafters and teachers.

Best place for Crafters. Every time I go over I find something I can use. The new location is very large and filled to alls desire...paints, pens, books, paper, buttons wood parts, old cameras and etc. Go visit Arts and Crafters.

This place is amazing! im only visiting in austin but just had to stop by and now im wishing there could be something like this in every major city. the unbeatably low prices make art and crafting easily accessible to the community- i love that if theres any new hobby you wanna try without investing a ton of money, this place will probably have everything you need to start! the volunteer staff is also very pleasant and informative- my boyfriend had a great conversation with an older gentleman working in the camera and film section. they have supplies for everything from fiber arts to photography to screen printing to scrapbooking. theres truly something here for everyone!!

Love this place. It is so fun and it’s amazing what $10 will get you here! They are doing amazing contact tracing and covid precautions. Super appreciate their commitment to safety. They even do appointments for those at risk. Go here!

I love the new layout. Great help as always.

Excellent prices, tons of materials for all kinds of crafting

Looove this place, is like heaven for creative people, the staff super sweet and helpful.

This is a fabulous organization run by fabulous people. I really dislike how our society has become a throwaway culture, but organizations like this give me hope for our future. We need to prioritize recycling and reusing materials that already exist, and the icing on top of the cake is this organizations goal.

Great place.

Fun place to shop. Scored some great bargains.Staff very helpful. Really good safe distancing policies in place.

Dropped off donations. Loved how super easy the whole process was.

Its always a fun treasure hunt.

A dangerous place for crafters as there is a plethora of materials at affordable prices; so much so that it can be a bit overwhelming at first. It is best to have some specific ideas before going in or you might lose yourself.

Heaven on earth for crafters and DIYers. You can find lots of materials for an array of projects for very little money. My favorite weekend destination.

Best store in Austin. Fantastic 💡 excellent execution. Come here, @austincreativereuse instagram facebook austincreativereuse.org

This is an artist/hobbyist/crafters dream store... Its basically an art thrift shoppe. They have everything you can imagine and then some, and at a price that you certainly wont find anywhere else on the planet. Last but not least they hold seminars and classes that are both informative and a great place to meet like minded individuals! 10/10!

This place is everything I’ve always hoped. Truly amazing.

My home away from home! Its worth going back often - you never know what youll find! I tend to go for yarn and fabric. Their $5 bucket section is great though I think my husband would get frustrated if I filled one every time... Teacher events, school supply collection and community involvement make ACR truly shine.

If you dont mind used stuff then this is the place for buying stuff for your small projects or hobbies. I buy crayons by scoopful, cloth scraps (available between 1-4 yards) small containers. Its worth checking out if you have kids and do some craft activities with them

This place is amazing! So many things to dig through and find

If you have art supplies of any kind you need to find a new home for, this is the place to take them. They only have one location so it may be harder to get to than your local Goodwill, but the people here truly value and appreciate your donations. (As opposed to Goodwill where you watch them dump everything you bring into giant boxes).Well worth the trip to know that your stuff will be put to good use. The staff and volunteers all seem to enjoy what they were doing so if you live nearby you might want to consider helping out if you can.

What an amazing resource for crafters!!! It has any odd or end you could ever need to start or finish a project for so little money, especially considering how crazy craft supply stores can get when you’re a teacher or creative person. An amazing local cause to support with your business and donations!

A super fun and great place for the creative inside you. They have everything from random parts of old cameras to high end fine tip pens. You can get a lot for less than $10 and have tons of fun searching through their various bins of craft supplies. :) I go almost weekly. ;)

Very interesting store. I got some sewing supplies for great price. Fabric had some dirty spots that couldnt be cleaned but cant complain when you paid less than $2 for it. Will visit again when were in Austin.

This nonprofit center offers an amazing selection of cool reuse materials for sale--tile samples, canvases, corks, old vinyl records, baby doll limbs--anything you could imagine and a lot more you couldnt. Its inspiring to visit, shop, and think about what you can do with things that might otherwise get thrown away. A pretty amazing resource for artists and teachers, too. They also do craft nights and volunteer events. A place that makes me happy to live in Austin!

I always find good stuff!

Amazing place for unique finds!

The workers/ owners are so nice and will work with you on price. Plus everything is cheap when compared to its actual price. They are life savers. Theres also some pretty neat random stuff there two. Really cool crafty place. I hope they get tons of costumers and keep the place open for a long time. Highly recommend it.

This store is the best! You can find so much for your art projects and whatnot! Its clean and cute and the staff is very friendly and helpful! And they volunteer to work there!

This is my happy place! I DIYed most of my wedding and couldn’t have done it without ACR. The prices are basically a steal and every time I check out I’m happily surprised by the total. All the volunteers are extremely helpful and love talking about any craft projects you may be shopping for.

Second hand store for craft and creative item. Beautiful crafting materials, plus odds and ends. They have everything from soecialty expert crafting tools, to delicious odds and ends begging for a new life. (Think: ends from a fine woodworking shop, metal cookie tins Aunt Freda just never threw away because they might be used for something. Those ill conceived hobbies you over invested in? They will get snapped up and crafted with eager artists, etsy stars, Scout troops. So stop fretting over the investment and donate them to ACR. (Marie Kondo might encourage you to thank them as you drop them off...but who am I to suggest this?)I just spent $1.89 on office supplies. Folders, 3 ring binders, and some paper clips. Now I am ready to take the paper beast lurking in a corner... for a reasonable price. My bank account is cheering in the background already!Keep in mind..it can be hit or miss. Some days are more jazzy than others and the space is smallish. Parking can be tight. Check the acr social media for specials, open hours, and workshops. This is run by volunteers, so leave your karen attitude at home and enjoy budget friendly craft browsing.

Fantastic place for arts and crafts supplies where you can feel good about shopping! ❤️

I have used this store to buy supplies for different projects. Lots of colorful paper, fabric, stamps, bulk crayons. Its a great resource for artists and teachers, and for projects for kids.

Love ACR! I’ve been coming here since they first opened up and am so excited to find a place like it here in Austin. Great for office supplies for small businesses, to special materials for projects and anything in between. Definitely recommend!

This place helps me feel like I can do something about our planet’s pollution problem. I love it!

Everytime we visit there are always new things to find. Huge selection of craft items. Sometimes new items, but mostly used items that have been donated and still have lots of life left. I always check here before buying retail and save a ton of money and feel a bit better about reducing waste. Employees and volunteers are always helpful a nice. Highly recommend this place for any crafter.

This place has a ton of super cheap art supplies. All kinds of stuff for painting, knitting, beading, etc.

Great resource for crafters, sewists, and artists that use found items! Prices are more than reasonable, and its a great way to reduce waste. Be prepared to spend a bit of time sorting through bins; like any thrift experience worth its salt, its somewhat of a treasure hunt.

My daughters and I live in the neighborhood and enjoy riding our bikes over to see whats new. Sometimes its a home run, sometimes its just fun.

Amazing treasure trove that really spurs the imagination. I love finding quantities large enough to teach with.

Love this place! Their turnover on new items is really impressive, and they manage to hold a lot of stuff efficiently in the space! The prices are really great, if you need something for a craft project id very much suggest that you look here before you go to joanns or another craft store! :)

Love this place! Great Maker space, perfect for finding and donate odds and ends. Scrapbooking goods, stamps, binders, mosaic tiles, fabric scraps and cut offs, display boards, keychains, you name it theyve probably had it at one time or another. Really random so dont expect anything to stay in stock but great opportunity to find the rare treasure. (Highly recommend following their instagram to see a glimpse of what theyve got!)

Great place to stock up on supplies for just about any project imaginable. I just learned to crochet so it is great to be able to buy lots of yarn to practice with without paying big bucks.

Eclectic surplus of many graft materials at very good prices

This place is a dream come true if you are a crafter/maker and are looking for budget options. Lots of super discounted fabric, yarn, office supplies and childrens art supplies. If you are making something, first check here and then your local hobby store. Also, good volunteering opportunities for homeschoolers, SAHM or your local art circle. The best part is their mission and the 100% dedicated staff. Go here!

WOW the pictures on the site dont reflect what I found. It was dirty, not just dirty but down right filthy, it was trashed things thrown everywhere and it smelled really bad. The frames and matts they had were in really bad shape and not usable. They did have fabric but because of the smell I would have to wash anything I bought before I used it. Wont walk in there ever.

Very cool little place! Lots of fun craft supplies cheap.

Amazing my daughter went there with her friends and she came back with so much for only 5 dollars

I am in love with this place!

Omg, this is where I buy all of my recycled fabric to make my bags! Absolutely amazing store, and super sweet and kind staff!

Its got a great selection of sewing, jewelry making, scrapbooking, and office supplies.

I enjoy going to ACR. There is always something new.

Absolutely amazing; low cost

A great place to find supplies and things you didnt know you needed. I just wish they werent closed 3 days a week.

AUSTIN NEEDED THIS! so thankful you exist

You can find anything here for any craft project at ridiculously low prices. Great place to donate all those extra hobby supplies.

My absolute favorite place for art supplies in Austin

Love the place, but they need more space! !

Best place in the world!!!

We love this place

My new addiction!!!

Wonderful place, great prices

This is one of my favorite stores in town! As an artist, this is my go-to place for supplies at incredible prices.

Wow! This is the most amazing place to find everything from practical, every day crafting supplies to completely unique and off-the-wall items, like vacuum tube amps. Lots of treasures! I picked up Prismacolor pencils, dipping pen nibs, craft paper mailing tubes, and an old overhead projector. All VERY reasonably priced! Very nice staff!!!
