SCRAP is amazing. The staff is very nice and helpful, everything there is extremely cheap, and you can find all sorts of items that are very difficult to find in regular stores. That makes SCRAP great for makers.

NEW LOCATION ! (As of November 9th 2019). They are no longer down by Costco but over on Washtenaw Ave right next to Once Upon A Child. This is a genius move! I am always stopping into the kids clothing store for things and here is another perfect stop for craft supplies, busy board making, hot glue gun projects, sewing supplies, sensory bins with little treasures, bits of this and bits of that...Go check it out!

I love this place. I always find the coolest things for a great price! For me... Its a scrapbookers dream.

I normally spend a lot of money in your store but my last two trips have put quite a damper on my enthusiasm.Your fill a bag bags have gotten smaller while prices have gone up a lot per bag. Moreover, the choices in fill a bag area have narrowed quite a bit and youve moved many of the usual items into the individually priced area and raised those prices too - well beyond reasonable for recycled items.Lately it seems you are less interested in getting things recycled than you are in making a substantial profit off donations.I, for one, have decided your original vision has been left behind in favor of profit. This might be why youve seen such a large drop in shopping.

This store has a little bit of everything. Things other people might consider junk until you see how the workers have set them up to be cute crafts. You can find lots of paper, old CDs/ vinyls, binders, boxes, canvass and sometimes new stuff too. Either way, worth checking out.

I drove all the way from Grand Rapids, when I heard they needed people to shop to keep it open. When I arrived during opening hours the doors were closed and the lights were off. No sign or explanation. A few of us were out there waiting for a while. We called scrap and sent Facebook messages and heard nothing. Im really disappointed that I drove 4 hours for nothing. I understand that things happen, but at least have a little common courtesy. Leave a note or something.

Lots of donated and second hand items for art and craft activities at a very low price. Great place for preschool supplies.

Great place to inspire creativity.

Have always loved the Scrapbox. Went this weekend and there was no sign on the door why they were closed.. The website also did not mention that they were closed. Could use better signage and updates on the website

SCRAP has moved locations!Open now at 4567 Washtenaw Ave Tuesday - Sundsy 10am - 7pm! Their fresh new home, expanded hours, and awesomely accessible and ADA compliant space are AMAZING.

Our 8-year-old had an excellent birthday party here. Kamron Reynolds did a great job picking an appropriate craft project, inspiring the kids, helping out when they got stuck, and drawing out our shy son. Kids and parents all seemed to enjoy themselves. The Scrap Box made all the arrangements easy and were responsive when we had a couple questions. Wed happily do it again.

Im a repeat customer, love this place! The staff are always inviting and helpful. You can find just about everything you need for crafting, or some hand-me-down goodies. The shelves are always rotating with what is donated, so its not a surefire thing youll see the same thing twice. Just think a thrift store, but for crafts!

My kids and I love this place. I give them a budget and we usually walk out with so much neat things. Its like a treasure hunt for things you probably dont need but want. I love how every time I go in I find something new. Prices are very reasonable on most things. My kids usually go straight for the gems and fill a bag stations. We brought home 3 bags of foam one day and I dont even know why . My dog also likes when I go, I come home with tennis balls galore!

Such a unique concept, you can find all sorts of supplies here for cheap.

An amazing place filled to the brim with recycled supplies,that can be used for arts and crafts. Also have craft classes. I love this place.

I love this place. Me and a few friends went here and really enjoyed it. The staff was really helpful and friendly. They have all sorts of stuff!

Absolutely wonderful craft resource almost no matter the craft. If you are even simply looking to be artistically creative and need project ideas, this shop is wonderful. All of their goods are donated, so the variety is astounding.

Super friendly. Really interesting assortment of stuff to kick start your imagination.

We had a great experience here and would have stayed longer if we had time. My daughter loved looking around and checking out all the neat items. We bought a bunch of craft supplies for next to nothing. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Incredible store for craft materials and second use craft things. The best deals are paper, cardboard, stamps, materials for projects, fabrics, buttons, ribbons...). Their facebook page has pictures of new arrivals. Great prices per unit (so it might be a place children can buy things with their collection of pennies). Few items are not well priced (almost dead markets as example) tough but you can leave them there or ask the manager for a better price.

My grandpa used to take me to the Scrap Box when I was a kid. Coming back decades later, the place still holds up, especially now that I do things like LARP. Super awesome place, would definitely recommend that everyone checks it out.

I have always loved this store! I took my two granddaughters and they spent over 2 hours looking at everything in awe and wonder! They were so excited about their purchases, too. The staff was wonderful, as usual!

Such a cool place! You never know what you will find.

I love this store and all of the recycled products they sell. However, the reason Im leaving a 2 star review is because of the staff. Im not sure if its because Im a minority or not, but the staff definitely treats me differently than other customers. I am almost never greeted at the door (only one woman greets me), while customers that follow me are greeted with hellos and smiles. I am not offered any assistance or told of any new products/sales like other customers. When I go to checkout, I am usually ignored until I say something (again, one woman is an exception). I do not feel welcome at this store. I continue to shop here because I cannot find certain products anywhere else, but if a similar shop opened I would take my business elsewhere. I am a cashier, and I would never treat my customers like this. I treat all customers the same, with a bright smile and a hello. The staff at this store could definitely work on their customer service skills.

This is a fantastic (non for profit) store that re-uses and re-cycles a multitude of items that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Amazing items for children, crafts, and many other imaginative uses. Weve been going there for years and the volunteer staff has always been wonderful.

This used to be my biggest excitement to visit now its seems to be less quality and higher prices guess ill be taking a break from here

As an art teacher, I shop here often. I see lots of happy customers of all ages and skin color. There are always customers giving each other ideas and staff guiding people to unique materials they might use for their projects. Our community is lucky to have this treasure ~ putting value back into items that need not be discarded.

Amazing experience for a 7 year old’s birthday party. They were completely accommodating, organized, fun, and the kids learned and got to be creative. Also the cost was extremely reasonable and included ‘shopping’ for the kids in the bulk area of the store. Morgan, who runs parties and workshops was absolutely amazing. By far the best birthday party we have ever done.

An artists (or Moms) dream. They have everything you can imagine for all crafts, and then some. Go there when you have time, so you can browse properly. One persons junk is another ones treasure. They have yarn, needles, thread, tons of buttons, fabric scraps, patterns, trims, crayons,plastic dohickies, thingamabobs and whatnots. The lady at the register is super sweet.

Really cool place with a lot of niche craft stuff.

They have tons of stuff!! Their inventory depends on donations, so they always get more items in. They have supplies for sewing, scrapbooking, jewelry making, all sorts of crafts. They have yarns, thread, beads, leather scraps, party supplies, used cassettes, CDs, VHS tapes records, and more.

Love this place for all kinds of haunted house treasures! Great for kids projects too.

A teachers dream. A scout leaders dream. Also for grandmothers.

We had a great birthday party for my son at The Scrap Box. Morgan was a wonderful host and kept the kids engaged with a lot of projects and a friendly, creative atmosphere!

Unique store with odds and ends. Perfect for crafters or treasure hunters.

Great place for DIYs, craftey people, and makers.

The staff at this store are rude and treat customers differently. Im Latina, and they clearly favor their paler customers over me. They never say hello, always question where I found items, and question if the things in my bag are from the appropriate areas. Everytime I shop here, theres a problem with a price or an item was in the wrong spot. I am not a thief, and Im always honest as to where I found items. But the staff always treats me like Im trying to rip them off. Im done with these folks. Ill take my business elsewhere.

Good prices on any sort of scrap you might want for various fun art projects.

They have new employees and much better customer service!

The best place to go for elementary crafts and classroom ideas.

Read the article in the Observer. Noticed that the staff have taken to reviewing the store themselves in an attempt to raise ratings. Dishonest people taking over an Ann Arbor treasure.

What an amazing place to shop. This is a great resource for teachers, homeschoolers and crafters alike.

Would give it a 5 except for the staff and their snobby attitude. At first I thought it was them having a bad day. But after reading other reviews I agree the staff need a work over. They too were friendly to other people of color then me. Great place to get anything. Just bad attitudes.

This place is freakin amazing

Love that place!!! So many cool knickknacks and craft supplies!!!

Excellent. Helpful employees!

Great place for families

Great

So much fun!!

Nice store. Terrible customer service!

This store has gone downhill since the last time I was in. Staff are awful. Wont be going back.

Nice place for projects, kid loved it!

ALL THE CRAFTS!¡!
