Art From Scrap Reuse Store
Practice Reuse, support the environment, and have fun while selecting from an amazing array of items.
Art From Scrap’s Reuse store keeps thousands of pounds of clean, reusable materials from ending up in the Santa Barbara County landfill each year. All kinds of treasures donated by local businesses and individuals – from tiles and tape, to paper and picture frames, to fabric and film reels, to beads and burlap bags – are available as the perfect low-cost option for theater & art projects, Halloween costumes, Solstice floats, party decorations, and other creative endeavors.
Come Shopping! Art From Scrap is open to the public. Fill up a grocery bag of materials from our bulk section or select many items priced individually, by the pound and by the yard. New materials arrive daily. Drop by often to see what’s new!
