If you are a crafter, chances are you have bins full of supplies you purchased for a project and ended up not needing. These extra beads, cords, brushes, and patterns are all sitting around, unused, taking up space in your house and failing to inspire your next project.

Visit the Create/Exchange, the one of a kind craft store in Cedar Rapids. The store is unusual, in that its inventory comes from the community of crafters, artists, and upcyclers that it serves.

The shop is "pay what you wish", and you'll get to choose exactly what you need. Instead of buying a bulk pack of pipe cleaners or a book full of scrapbook paper, pick up however many items you'll actually need.
