This definitely is a great place for anyone looking for crafting supplies. Especially fabric, thread, and paint. The prices are affordable and I was able to grab a few things at a good price. I was expecting more variety in supplies. But it's all donation based so why would all the good stuff be donated lol. Take a look if you're in the area! read more

Today was my first time going to ScrapsKC. What an amazing place for teachers and educators to find resources and supplies. ScrapsKC provides a great opportunity for teachers and educators to save money. Customer service was phenomenal, if this was your first time, staff was so excited and even rang a bell. This place deserves 10 stars. Pass the word let everyone know about the Teacher's Resource, craft items and so much more. read more

I found out about this place on TikTok because I'm starting to get into junk journaling and this place basically has everything you're looking for to at least get started. I was looking for random patterns of paper and they had paper packs for $4. I wanna say there was about maybe 40 or 50 pieces of paper in a pack. If you're into arts and crafts, they probably have something for you: sewing, crochet and knitting, stuff for educators and teachers, and honestly so much more you wouldn't even know you needed. I'd check their business hours before going, but it's in Westport and definitely worth the visit if you are into arts and crafts! read more

Scraps KC - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is every crafters dream! I crochet a ton so I stopped by to check out the yarn selection and was pleasantly surprised. They had an abundance of yarn, that were unique. They also had patterns, hooks, and other textiles and fabrics. Honestly any craft, they most likely have. It felt like a crafting thrift store! read more

There are so many reasons to love Scraps, I don't even know where to begin! I can't quit telling people about this thrift store for craft supplies. I am a chronic hobbier, always trying something new. Scraps lets me try out a ton of new crafts without a huge upfront investment. I've bought fabric, beads, yarn, paint, and even knitting needles for every craft under the sun. I feel the prices are reasonable and the inventory is so unique. Of course, Scraps is also a great place to donate your items! Their mission helps people and the environment. I love any opportunity to reuse and limit consumption, so this is a perfect fit for me! Even if you are not sure you will find something (unlikely) this place is worth checking out. read more

Best place ever!!! I love to sift throw all the bins and rows... teachers paradise.. if you need it, they got it!

Love this amazing store. I came looking for one thing but then left with many more great deals. Follow them on fb for more information about their mission. They are a 501c3 nonprofit. read more

I had heard about Scraps KC over the years and finally found it! What a smart concept. They take donations of crafting and office supplies and organize and resell them for their non profit. It is huge and there are work areas there also. read more

Scraps is 100% my favorite place in Kansas City. I am not exaggerating when I say I come here at least once a week. Scraps is a creative reuse center. Everything that is sold is donated, so everything costs cents or a couple of dollars. And they truly have everything -- craft supplies, frames, decor, storage items, almost anything you could think of in a huge warehouse. You can donate leftover craft supplies, and they have a list on their website of things they're looking for and donations they won't accept. Scraps does tons of classes and educational opportunities as well. I've taken a papermaking class!! Absolutely loved the experience. There's a make-and-take room where you can craft and use their supplies for a small price. Not only are they keeping craft supplies and other items out of landfills, they also have a strong mission to help unhoused people. Unhoused people can work at scraps and receive a meal and survival supplies for their time. And they bring meals downtown on the weekends. I love this place so much. I am here constantly and I am buying things here constantly. Some of my best holiday decor is from here. There's a lot of parking in the gated lot next to the building, and the door is next to the garage doors off of the parking lot. Sometimes there are so many people that you have to street park because it's so popular on the weekends! Please go to scraps for all your crafting and decorating ne read more

Scraps KC - Handmade paper from the papermaking class! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

If you are a crafter or an artist, GO here. Just know, you won't be able to stop yourself --- there's so many wonderful things here. I heard magical sounds and saw sparkling lights that only occur when entering a maker's heaven or a really good sale at Macy's. I went specifically for collage kits and I got more than I was supposed to get. And you know what, if I stayed more than five minutes, I would've bought the entire aisle of stuff because it's so magical and priced to sell. And don't forget to follow them on social media. They do classes and have a craft club. The location and building are unassuming and seem almost clandestine but don't let that stop you. If you need craft or maker goods, go here first. Or, if you need to donate your excess, go here as well. read more

Selection, low cost, many useful items, recycling. Different inventory every time. Friendly staff.

Such an innovative concept, esp for fellow adhders! When you get tired of hyperfixating on a craft, donate your supplies & pick up new ones!

What a fabulous idea!!! I love the reuse of all the leftover project remnants!!! It was bigger than I anticipated and well organized! Need rubber stamps, florals, fabric, yarn, paint, postcards, bins, knitting needles, etc. My daughter ( a textile science major) was in her element. You can even pay with a card! Donate your extra stuff and help a great cause! I am interested in checking out their volunteer opportunities as this is really a mission I can get behind & impact! read more

Scraps KC - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Oh Scraps! We love your beautiful bounty of random treasure. Office supplies, holiday decor, fabric, yarn, and upcycled goodies - we've brought them all home over the dozen times we've shopped. There is a little bit of everything/anything on any given trip. The mission of supporting reuse is a great reminder when you're looking for a place to donate too. (They keep a current list of items they're accepting online.) read more

This is a great place to go poke around. I was amazed at the assortment of crafting items they had available.

I found out about Scraps KC from one of my friends. "You should go there, you would like it." I make journals out of old books, not necessarily junk journals, but I can make those too. I constantly run out of paper and things. Not any more! This store is a goldmine for anyone who likes to make crafts. They take donations of craft items and sell them. I bought a big bag of things and only paid $12. As I was leaving, the woman at the counter mentioned "collage bins." Well, I'll be back. read more

Scraps KC - Scarps KC - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Fun place to find mixed Media art supplies. I wish we had a similar place in Wichita. It's not as well organized as the Denver ReCreative but grateful it's closer. read more

I spread the gospel of Scraps KC to literally anyone who has even a vague interest in crafting!! This is a gem of a store and I love the sustainable mission. I have gotten so many treasures from Scraps: jewelry, expensive watercolors for cheap, embroidery supplies, puzzles, even Christmas decor! The selection and layout changes frequently so I love to go once every couple of weeks if I can to browse all the aisles. They host so many cool DIY classes ranging from sewing to upcycling bottles into vases and papermaking. So much of what they sell is under a dollar so you can get a lot of bang for your buck. If you have old craft supplies or fabric lying around Scraps also takes donations! Be sure to check the website for what they will and won't take. I love supporting this store and highly recommend paying a visit to see what you can find! read more

YOU HAVE TO GO HERE!!! Scraps KC is just beyond cool. Never seen anything else like it! Do you want to make something? Any kind of craft at all? Well everything you could possibly want to make something with is here! Everything is donated and all the profits go to worthy causes around Kansas City- see their website for more details. Take a look at all the pictures I took and see what is available here. It's just mind blowing!! My daughter loves to sew and make collages on paper and on boxes, and this place was perfect for that. We got bunches of supplies for her to use and I also grabbed a few things I just couldn't live without and were so fun. Our total was only $19- so much less than other stores! So so so much less!! You just need to experience this place to believe it! (Edited to say that you might not want to go here on a super warm day- it's not air conditioned. They do have a couple of gigantic fans up at the front though.) read more

I thoroughly enjoy any efforts made to help improve the planet, so when I heard of Scraps KC and what they do such as offering TerraCycling and reducing waste by taking donations of used craft items, I was super excited to check them out. Scraps TerraCycling offers to recycle items such as personal care items, razors, Burts bees products, phone cases, oral care, writing utensils, and plastic gift cards. Which is nice because ScrapsKC is the only place in the area that accepts these items to recycle ! This place is also like a huge thrift store full of craft supplies. So if you're working on a project, but only need a few items of things- rather than buying a whole bag at a craft store- Scraps is where you can buy what you need for way less! You can find anywhere from sharpies to yarn, and everything in between. If you haven't checked this place out yet- I'd highly recommend stopping by soon! read more

I am a teacher and I was able to go as part of their teacher teach out program and got a ton of stuff for my classroom for free! Anything you might need is there, and there's so much to choose from. The workers were super nice and helpful, and were very attentive! read more

I had no idea about this little gem hidden just before you get into downtown KC. It is a second hand craft store that is priced so well and very well stocked and organized. I just happened upon them while online and decided to check it out and ended up volunteering. I am so excited to volunteer more shifts just to be able to see all the things that are in the store. If you are a crafter or a sewer this is a place you must take the time to check out! It will be worth the time. And I believe they are always looking for volunteers. You can work just a two hour shift if you like or more. Whatever your preference. And by volunteering you get to be the first to see new items that come in! It's a win win! Plus the other people working and volunteering are so pleasant. Total score for me in finding this place after living in Kansas for three years. read more

Awesome selection, very caring staff and stunning prices! Great sense of community felt here

I'm a professional organizer, and I absolutely love taking my clients donations here that would otherwise go into the trash! Brenda, the owner, is an amazing woman. I love that this place helps the communities in so anyways, including homeless out reach, environmentally friendly practices, education and a creative outlet for kids. I also love that you can adopt a class - so many public school art teachers get a measly $100 budget for the entire year for art supplies, but if they register with Scraps, they can get free supplies. I wish there were more places like this in our community. I recommend going in for a quick tour, to get an idea of all of the items that they accept. read more

awesome place/concept- ScrapsKC is super organized and packed with affordable gently used supplies for all crafting and school/office. Great asset to the community!! read more

Scraps is such a great place to get amazing crafting and school supplies at an affordable price while also keeping waste out of the landfill. Love that they also have a twenty percent discount for teachers buying school supplies. Amazing place! read more

Great place for everyone who likes to craft and be creative! If you are a teacher, show your teacher ID for an extra discount!

While this USED to be a great place to donate and shop, it isn't any longer. They have changed for the worse. Unfortunately, they have put extreme restrictions on what they want for donations anymore. That eliminates a large percentage of items for donations, and makes the shopping selection just as bad. We were there on a Saturday afternoon. It should have been crowded, but the place was dead. We saw several groups of people come in, look around, and leave without buying anything, ourselves included. We were very disappointed and we overheard other people say the same thing. Also, please note that the complete list of what donations that they do not accept is posted on the front door of their building, so you have to drive all the way there to find out what you should have left at home that day; the list on the website is NOT a full list. Don't bother asking anyone there what's an acceptable donation, though. It literally varies depending on who you ask. All in all, the place has gone downhill. Save yourself time, money, and stress - donate to your local school district or food pantry instead of this place. read more

Great service to the community! Great place to donate art supplies etc, See their list on their website!

This is such a gem! My crafty friend and I love to visit here and we always find some great things! We also love the fact that they support the homeless. It is always fun to look through the treasures. We always look through the button bins to use in our crafty endeavors. The employees are all very nice and helpful. Be sure to visit this wonderful treasure! read more

My Favorite spot in thrift stores is always the craft section. This thrift store is literally all the craft section, absolutely beautiful and the prices are amazing. read more

My kids love coming to scraps! We've gone on Saturday mornings and attended birthday parties. It's really fun and they have cool stuff!!

I'm a donator and a shopper. This place is wonderful because there are so many unique items that can be used in other than intended ways. I have grandchildren who are always excited to see what I have brought them from Scraps. I always have a box set up to take my donations the next time I visit. Items are inexpensive and very nicely and creatively displayed. Every staff member there is awesome, and I cannot say enough good things about this unique place. There mission is awesome, and they are constantly coming up with ideas for parties and projects. read more
