We’re pretty big fans of Austin Creative Reuse! This innovative nonprofit retail center collects, sells, and distributes donated reusable materials. This awesome space, located in the Linc complex near the old Highland Mall, offers extremely affordable crafting supplies as well as a place to donate your unused materials. It’s the ideal resource for crafty, creative families. You can stop in for well-priced art supplies, fabric, beads, yarn, paper and much more.
