SUPPLY SWAP!
Saturday, Sept. 27
What we are looking for:
Of course we can't possibly know all the awesome stuff you may bring in, but if you're wondering what kind of swap this is, let this be your guide:
New or gently used craft supplies donations including, but certainly not limited to:
MARK MAKING: inks, pencils, paints, brushes, pastels, erasers, chalks, charcoals, markers
FIBER: yarn, fabric, thread, embroidery supplies, knitting needles/crochet hooks, thread, patterns, ribbon, quilting tools, dressmaking, sewing machines, sewing notions
TOOLS: scissors, glue guns, soldering irons, craft knives, hole punches, easels, photo equipment, pottery tools, rulers
SUBSTRATES: canvas, watercolor paper, drawing paper, scratch boards, panels, sketchbooks, construction paper, newsprint
CRAFTS: beads, jewelry findings, containers of all sorts, artificial flowers, foam, felt, scrapbooking supplies, stamps, ink pads
BOOKS: art/craft instruction books, art/craft magazines, patterns, and store bought crafting kits
What we are NOT looking for:
If it stinks, we don't want it.
Please don't bring anything moldy, dirty, super heavy, or in need of repair. We love the old, cool, vintage stuff, but if it isnt functional, please leave it at home.
This swap is not for antiques or curios, it's about usable crafting and art making materials and supplies.
We do love fabric but we can't use cut up t-shirts, stuffing from your sofa, old pillows or clothing.
We also ask that you leave the hazardous materials in your garage, including oil-based solvents, house paint, dry paint tubes, stuff that is crazy heavy, etc.
If it cannot be used immediately and without rehabilitation as a crafting material, supply, or tool, please don't donate it.
