Join us for a Sustainable Exchange!
Calling all crafters, creators, and DIY enthusiasts! It’s time to clear out your craft closets and join us for a fun-filled Craft Supply Swap event. Bring your surplus supplies and discover hidden treasures from fellow makers. Whether you’re in need of yarn, fabric, beads, or tools, there’s something for everyone.
Let’s reduce waste, inspire creativity, and foster a sense of community as we exchange materials and ideas. Engaging in creative activities like crafting can also positively impact mental health, providing a therapeutic outlet and promoting well-being.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to refresh your stash and connect with fellow crafting enthusiasts. Mark your calendars and get ready to swap your way to new crafting adventures!
