User Reviews for Scrap Exchange

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

05/05/2008 Posted by jessgh

Absolutely a blast! Great for finding crafting items, art supplies, and just about any weird little decorating thing you can think of. Tubs and bins of things that have been donated, from fabric scraps, plastic bottles, foam tubes, tile samples, wallpaper scraps, oddball promotional items left over from who-knows-what. Too much to remember, and it changes every time I go. Currently my son loves to go, get cones and tubes left over from industrial sewing processes, and take them home for me to hot glue together for spaceships, robots or guns. They have pieces of art from local artisans, and some genuinely normal household items you would never expect. Oh, and fabulous for kids parties, too. Just the wackiest stuff.

Pros: Wacky, weird, wonderful stuff. (Dirt cheap.)

Cons: None
