Creative Reuse
The Happy Crafter finds new uses for arts and crafts waste. The stuff that clutters your workspace may soon be part of a unique craft kit, festive celebration décor, or repackaged for use by another creative.
If you are in the Austin or Bastrop area of Texas, we are happy to pick up used arts and craft supplies as well as those materials that make you think, ‘I don’t what this is, but someone could do something cool with it.’ We can find that someone… we may even be that someone.
Take a look at the list of things we love below, but these are not the only things we love. If it can be reused to make something else, we’re in!
Box up your gift, and contact us for pick up by phone or the contact form below.
Look out for The Happy Crafter’s Creative Reuse Drop-off Boxes, coming soon!
