This is like a thrift store for craft and art supplies. The only downside - you better have time to forage. There are so many awesome supply categories and you will need time to rifle in bins and boxes. I would say Im going to make this a regular stop... but I know Ill spend too much money and accrue too much stuff. This is definitely a once a month adventure type shopping experience for crafters and artists.

I love this place so much! It’s such a adventure every time I go, which is at least once a week! You’ll never know what you’ll find. I’ve been able to complete a lot of projects and not break my budget doing it. Plus, everyone that works or volunteers there is so helpful and kind.

An excellent concept for a nonprofit! They have everything from office supplies, to supplies for artists and crafters of all kinds. This includes bakers. They are constantly getting new donations in stock. The dollars raised supports efforts to assist the homeless. There is ample parking in their lot. Accessible parking, entrance. Bring in donations to support this great org!

The best art resource store. They always have the best supplies and volunteers. We came back from Detroit and made it a point to visit and were told there are places like this everywhere. The cashier helped us find a location in Ann Arbor near us.

This time we dropped off some donations, but it is a great place for your hobby and fabric needs. Great prices a lot of interesting things and most of all it goes for a good cause, to help those in need. The staff which I believe is volunteer is always friendly and helpful, this place has so many positive things going for it that it is hard to list them all. Highly recommend to visit it, once you do youll be hooked

Literally the best craft store in kansas city, they have second hand materials for all the crafts and it’s well organized with new stuff always coming on the floor , I visit at least once a week because i’m obsessed

Tons of stuff from paint to fabric and all in between. Recommend for any creative types.

The mission to keep scraps and reusable goods out of landfills is admirable to the consumers benefit! Great prices, wide selection of good, fun & crafty finds in every nook and corner. Constantly rotating stock...stop in and look around often!

They always have what I need and more for all of my craft projects! Their yarn section is my absolute favorite!!

So many fun finds here. Picked up postcards, yarn and a new crochet habit. Ive bought BAO much over the years that i now have unfinished projects Ill have to donate back!

ScrapsKC has anything and everything that you could be looking for do to any sort of craft. The prices are way affordable. Not only do they have a great selection, they help the needy and homeless in KC.

This place is great! I really like the reuse/repurpose/recycle approach that ScrapsKC has introduced to our community. It is really wonderful that they have a classroom space for people to take crafting courses, etc. There is something here for everyone with any type of budget. Neat location space, too.

Tons of crafting things! Most things are fairly priced, selection is huge, random and unique. Leather scraps, Czech beads, pony beads, office supplies, are what we get from here. Theres tons more stuff for scrapbooking, painting, jewelry making, crocheting, and sewing!

This has to be one of my most Favorite places in the world to get craft and office supplies!!! Its all for a good cause, too!

I not only found some interesting vintage things that would definitely cost a fortune at say, a vintage store, but I also found a large standing easel Ive been hunting for, at a fraction of the cost Id seen elsewhere. There is a ton of interesting supplies here. Ive already got a return trip planned!

Oh. My. Goodness! DO NOT BUY CRAFT SUPPLIES IN A STORE WITHOUT CHECKING HERE FIRST!!!! Such amazing savings, supplies in great condition, and I saved a BUNDLE!!!! Stamps, stencils, fabric & sewing supplies (including machines!!!), painting supplies, jewelry supplies, tools of all sorts, papers, office and school supplies, Craft classes and parties, and youre saving stuff from the landfills by upcycling and repurposing. Donations accepted ... dont miss this amazing resource!!!

ScrapKC is great for people who want to find starter materials or basics for crafting. It is a little scarce on more advanced crafting items but thats to be expected since its a reuse store. I rated it 4 stars because some of the materials are unlabeled or bagged which makes it hard to decide if its worth the buy. Will definitely be going back.

The volunteers and staff are so friendly! We went for a free childrens event and they were so good with my daughter and she loved them!The store is so well labeled and organized. I found almost no items that I questioned the prices on! It flows and is very well kept! A true KC gem!

Greatest art supply store!! Donate your extras!!!!

Super amazing place for fiber and textile supplies! Very affordable with an awesome selection. Also has used sewing machines and other tools! will definitely be returning very often!

This is Kansas City crafters’ best kept secret. For a crafty, thrifty, recycle-y kind of person this is paradise!

This great place for crafting and recycling has expanded into a larger space recently, and they are filling it with bargains. Its a sort of thrift store full of art and office supplies. They also have fun, low-cost craft classes and events for kids and adults. This is definitely a place that is good for artists, the community and the environment.

This place is amazing! They have a little bit of everything. A makers paradise. Definitely worth checking out.

Arts & Crafts Thrift Store, but so much more! They have everything you could think of for any project. You just go in there and get inspired to start so many projects!

This place is such a gem! Its a great way to get crafting supplies for a better price and for a better cause. Even better, you can donate your crafting supplies if you move along to a new craft! I wish more places like this existed!

This place is a great way to reduce reuse and recycle ♻️. 💕 I would send any teacher artist or crafters to seamstress and quilter....I could go on

My experience was awesome. Found lots of good stuff!

Lots of stuff, but if youre a knitter, this place is a gold mine. Lots of yarn, needles, etc. Something different every time and ALL of the proceeds go to a good cause locally.

Such a cool store for shopping for art supplies. Most of the items are donated and are gently used. Be sure to stop by for materials and inspiration for your next project.

You can literally find satisfaction in so many ways here... So... Much... Satisfaction....

Great resource that gives back to the community. Very passionate about what they do.

Primarily an arts and crafts store, not a used clothing or household goods store. It is loaded with cloths and yarns and tons of other various arts and craft items. Some office supplies also. Great staff btw.

Recommendation: Call ahead of time if you have a donation and have any doubts. I found out after driving across town to the shop that they had an overabundance of trophys, so they werent accepting any. I had relied on their list of accepted items.A minor inconvenience for a great mission.

This is the best place in KC to get 1-of-a-kind supplies for art or crafting projects. Materials are donated so you never know what treasure you will find. You can also donate your surplus supplies, which makes it much easier to part with dear treasures no longer needed. Great non-profit organization with wonderful staff. Put this place on your trap line. Fabric, patterns and notions are sew plentiful and affordable.

A crafters happy place!!

A very surprising selection of materials available at supreme bargain prices. I bought a dozen legal pads there for about $2.50. Their knitting, crochet, and yarn section is diverse.

Great place to up-cycle all your random scraps of anything. It’s also a great place to explore if you’re an artist looking for inspiration.

I find something new every time I go. Great people with a strong mission.

Scraps KC is a unique cross between thrift store, reuse center, and crafter’s Nirvana. Pick up paint, art supplies, crafting kits, even classroom essentials at this well-organized, friendly KC institution. While you’re at it, donate your unused baskets, extra stationary or stickers, and abandoned quilting projects. Scraps KC works to support the unhoused community in Kansas City, and they are intentional about this mission in all they do.In case all that’s not enough to convince you to check out this creative reuse center, they even offer events for children to exercise creativity and community action.Don’t miss this eco-friendly innovation hub!!

Amazing array of creative cast-off materials. This is my dream store. So much awesome stuff to make art with. I love that they accept donations of art extras and things that someone else can make into a masterpiece.

I think I could write 4 pages on why I love Scraps KC. I was participating in a sustainability exhibit & wanted a promotional give-away. I was able to get more than 200 pens for $2.00. I bought some labels there for 50 cents, a basket to hold them, and went to work. They have so many things from markers, rubber stoppers, cardboard rolls, notebooks, fabric, carpet samples, cloth tape measures, etc. I even bought some stainless steel light parts. The staff is amazing. The work they do with the homes is inspirational! I think they would be a teachers, crafter, DIYer, recycler, office manager, etc. dream! As I type this I am thinking...when can I go back??!So, I went back and these are some of the items I purchased: pool sticks, wooden basket, sign letters, folders, tape dispenser, bent wrench, etc. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Fantastic, organized crafters dream!!

What a great place. I could go here every day. Great for trying out new things youve never used before for a very low price. They have a little bit of everything!!!!

Staff is very friendly. Prices are great. Store is well organized.

Very interesting place! They have tons of items to use in art projects. Especially fabrics. Lots of gift wrap items and lots of this-n-that. I found it to be extremely well-organized and clean! I little bit hard to find...but worth the trip!

WOW! All the things you didnt know you need. Inspirational for sure. We love this place!!!

This is a great place for good deals on all kinds of recycled arts and craft supplies

They dont give discounts to homeschooling parents as with other educators. Im so over that mentality. I dont think Ill go back. Regretting the money I spent 😒.

Great selection! Everything a crafter could want!

So much fun!!

This place is always an adventure the store is filled with the kindest hearts with a passion for creativity!

Lots & lots of crafty stuff cheap. New & slightly used items. Huge selection, friendly helpful staff.

Nice, clean, organized, staff was friendly and just a unique place to find crafting things.

Great selection, great staff, great causes. Always happy to shop here

I enjoyed this adventure. Was able to make a donation while we were there.

Very amazing 👍 so much stuff to do and decorate! Any other thing you would like to decorate is in the shop, and you do have to pay for it but it only like $5.00!

I found what I was looking for and more. Plan on making another trip. Nice selection of art supplies reasonable priced.

Great place and they do so much for the community. I learn so much everytime I go. Our Girl Scout troops made sock kits for the homeless and learned more about safe items to donate.

Didnt find what I went looking for, yet delighted by what I found.

Perfect place for artists or anyone doing crafts or DIY projects. The amount of things that get reused and repurposed is amazing. There are so many diverse items and supplies available here.

Very fun place to get craft items at great prices. Super friendly

Great place! I was able to donate some craft supplies that I didnt need anymore and pick up some new stuff. Huge selection.

Love this place, super unique, super cheap and you are helping the environment!

Such an awesome store. I can’t believe we never knew about this place for the few years we’ve lived in KC. We got quite a few cool things and will definitely be visiting again.

These people are miracle workers!! I will keep them in mind when I can donate things they accept.

Oh my god this place is awesome, I get most of my art supplies here for class and any sort of office supplies. They have fabric and a metric butt load of yarn which is amazing and they always have knitting needles and crochet hooks. I have always found what I was looking for here at a great price and with super friendly staff. Im sad i cant give it a higher rating

Great place to buy many different things. They are helping to save items from the landfill, and at the same time using the proceeds to help homeless in Kansas City.

Going broke. Crochet yarn mega world. Love it.

I love going to Scraps KC because you never know what kind of great things you are going to find. A must place to visit for art and other teachers.

Great place! They have everything! Brought the kids for a service project and ended up letting them wander and grab a few art supplies of their own to bring home. Very family friendly. We cant wait to go back.

Cosplayers and crafters-- stop here first before going to JoAnn or Michaels, P L E A S E! its literally like a treasure chest of goodies and supplies for insanely low prices. they are well organized, friendly, and almost always have what Im looking for. their community initiative is phenomenal; I love everything that they stand for, and the staff is awesome-- Zach is such a sweetheart and remembered me every time I came in, even after months! Fabric is insanely cheap, and also, if you need to get rid of some of your leftover supplies or unwanted items, they will take them! (check with them first to see what they are accepting of course, with the pandemic.) I love you guys, Scraps KC-- thank you for everything!

Love love love this place!

This was my first time there. I spent a couple of hours there. They have so many different things to look at and great prices!! I went in looking for lace. Although they didnt have specificly what I was wanting, the gentleman helping me went way out of his way. I left the store with rolling wheels for a project my brother was working on, material for a baby blanket, highlighters for me, a couple of tennis balls for my dog, a blanket for my mom, foam cushions for another project, and ideas for some things we could use at work. Wow! So much fun! 🤪

This place is amazing. I come here so often for fabric and notions and bits and bobs. Great place great staff great prices.

This place is a must shop for creative people. I call it my happy place!!

Amazing place! Before you start buying anything new for a project go here first! You can often find what you need far cheaper than buying new from box stores.If you are looking for something specific be sure to call, they might be able to hold out what you need which they did for me recently.You never know fully what you will find and you will probably leave with a bag full of stuff!

Huge organized selection! I found everything I needed and more at a really good price. Ill definitely be bringing my own supplies here when I no longer need them

Found some great fabric prints there

Staff is always friendly, they have tons of affordable crafting supplies, including paints, office supplies, canvases, fabric, yarn, etc.

Amazing deals on anything crafty you would ever need. Spent multiple hours there just wandering around. Definitely will be back with a list of things I need

Brenda is an amazing person who does so much for the community. Please consider supporting their mission! Our girl scout troop has volunteered twice with them on Saturday mornings and both times it has been a very impactful experience for not only the girls, but the adults too.

Best place if youre a DIY/arts & crafts hobbyist and open to finding cool pieces for a project. Prices are more than fair and the everyone is very nice! You never know what cool stuff youll find.

Never know what youre going to find!!

This is my paradise... I almost wanna rate it lower so it stays a hidden gem!

First time coming here. Was amazed with how much stuff is there for so many crafting ideas. Great place for Crafters and teachers. Will definitely be back.

I love this place. You never know what you will find. A perfect place for teachers and crafters!

Super cool place!! Very reasonable prices!!

This place is absolutely amazing.and the best thing about it is it has a wonderful executive director didnt find so much here that you wouldnt even know that you needed entry into the door and see what they have please come and check everything out all proceeds go back to the to the homeless community.

This place is amazing. Almost everything you could want for craft work. Great prices on most items also.

Great finds

Great place to find materials and unusual items (perfect art fodder). You can wander around for hours looking through all their stuff if youre curious enough! Ive also heard good things about the staff.

Have you heard of this place?? Its like Joann and Goodwill had a baby. Before you buy anything, you should go here FIRST. Plus they have classes and do social outreach. Feel good about the stuff you buy!

I like this place. I can always find what I am looking for. The price is so affordable. Staff are very professional and helpful.

Great selection of items and staff is super helpful! Great for group outings.

If you are a crafter or a teacher, you must visit ScrapsKC and soon! Very inexpensive donated supplies for crafts and handmade items of all kinds, school supplies of all kinds, etc. They also have skills classes for kids and adults you can register for that are very inexpensive and are available to reserve space for private crafting and birthday parties as well. Wonderful staff who believe in helping teachers and the homeless in KC. This will be a regular stop for me in the future!

Amazing resource for low cost crafting supplies like paint, felt, tons of fabric and yarn. Staff is super helpful

The creative sparks started flying as soon as I walked in! The selection is amazing, the prices were incredible, and the staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful. I have found my new favorite store in KC!

Such a cool place! Ive only been once but I plan to return for kid craft and sewing supplies!

I always enjoy coming here and finding supplies I can use in my class. Thanks for all your hard work for educators and homeless!

Its a great place to do your small shopping. Just need a little bit of materials for a prodject, or want to throw a Birth Day Party for the kids. Try them out...I bet you take home a little something.
