Pittsburgh Center For Creative Reuse

Great place for arts and craft supplies of all types. If you're looking for it, they probably have it! We bought sticker letters, beads, and paper here.

Wow wow this place is cool. I love stores like this that help fight waste while also giving you a place to donate besides goodwill. They have a lot of stuff to make crafts/DYI stuff. Everything is also super cheap which is great. Definitely worth checking out but plan on spending sometime here cause it take awhile to dig through everything 😌

If you enjoy any type of making or crafting or decorating, this place is AWESOME. It's basically a thrift store for creativity! You can save SOOOOOOO much money by going here for supplies. It's a great place to pick up inexpensive supplies for any craft or project you can imagine. They always have something different and fun!!!

This place is awesome. Tempted to buy all their trophies so I can lie to all my friends and tell them Im a sports prodigy

I could spend every single day here! The amount of amazing craft/art/etc supplies is incredible & the prices are so amazing!

This was an awesome find right by the co-op. Great idea to reuse these materials and raise money. If you are a crafty, this is a must visit spot with plenty of paint, yarn, wood, and various other reusable items. Even if you aren't artsy, there are some pretty sweet odds and ends to find. Stop by soon!

Tons of art and craft supplies, decor, & some vintage items. Lots of things to look at and you can easily spend more than an hour looking around. Everything is pretty cheap and you can get a lot in bulk. You can also make donations. Staff are nice and willing to help or answer any questions you have.

This would be a great place to go to make a unique trophy for a friend. Grab paint, glue sticks, chess pieces, glitter, a foam yak head and a pair of vintage miniature golf clubs and you have an heirloom quality item in an afternoon.

Awesome place to find weird and interesting things to craft and make art with! An artistic recycling center? A crafty garage sale? Think of your grandmother's stash of old fabric and crafts, combined with your grandad's collection of stray electrical, metal and wood bits and bobs. Great place to donate materials. Fun for inspiration! Supplies used in under the sea themed school dance decorations. :)

Everything you didn’t know you needed to make art. Affordable prices and surprisingly well organized for the number of absurdly random items they have.

Animal erasers, picture frames, old trophies, carpet remnants, slides, stickers, rubber stamps, jewelry, paper, markers, VHS tapes, old American Online cds, and pretty much anything else. Plus super sweet staff.

Absolutely wonderful. Very fun eclectic shopping location. The prices are very good. I come from out of town once a year and make sure to come here every time.

it's like a junk drawer filled with the most amazingly magical "OMG I COULD TOTALLY MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THIS" finds ever... not a drawer but an entire store.
absolutely smitten with this space.

The staff are so helpful, the materials fairly priced and there are often volunteers showing their work, their passions and creativity and giving of their time to this community gem. I bought gift certificates for my kids' friends there instead of buying new stuff that'll likely be soon broken, lost and need to be thrown out. For a 20th of the price of buying materials new, I was able to buy paint and accessories for our Halloween costumes. Recently I got some things for Christmas crafts and other bits and bobs to fill in our craft area. Staplers for a fraction of new, and boxes of new staples. Maybe best of all, masking is still required, so this lessened our risk of catching (or spreading had we been in early stages and not know it) of the flu, covid or the school cold de jour when visiting. This keeps the employees, shoppers and volunteers safe. Lastly, the workers know their stock and find out if not. They don't guess or give vague answers. So often I've called and received helpful answers which brought me in the next day. Choose local and choose Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse over a dollar store or Bezos' billions everyday. If you're unable to shop, they also have many things on line and curb pick-up as an option!!!!

One of my favorite places to find unique crafting items. I always find great supplies and antiques here. Most of the volunteers/employees are friendly. However, there is a middle aged balding red headed queen that works there who needs to check his attitude.

Though I live an hour away, after seeing the PCFCR on TikTok yesterday I decided to head down after an appointment - I was immediately blown away with the incredible amount of supplies and kindness from the staff, I (without intending to) spent four hours in the shop and despite leaving with nearly 30 lbs of art supplies (everything from oil pastels and prismacolors to vintage crafting magazines and a clay pigeon) I only managed to spend $80, I'm not one to post reviews often but the combined kindness of the staff that went out of their way to answer questions/assistance & even help me carry out the box made it worth it.

This place is crafting heaven. There was so much stuff that I never knew I needed to complete several crafting projects I had until I came here. I bought several hard to find looms and knitting supplies. And the wreath making stuff is incredible. They've got stuff that big box stores like Michael's doesn't have. In the overwhelming tsunami of good things I have to say about this place and it's prices, the only bad thing is that their used yarn is more expensive than buying the same brands new from the retailer.

Awesome non-profit place that does a lot of charity work. You never know what you'll find there. They have vintage/antique stuff, jewelry, scrapbooking supplies, fabrics, carpet/tile samples, wood/stained glass scraps.. Even small storage furniture sometimes. I frequently buy art tools for around $1 each, but I also really enjoy going through the card catalogues full of little random things.

Such a fantastic resource for any crafters! Tons of fun supplies that can inspire your next craft project! Love that they keep lots of things from being unnecessarily throw away. They also have a great social media that shares inspiration and tutorials for projects.

Many things for arts and crafts. My daughter likes to find a little rug remnants that she will put in her hamsters cage. They even have costume jewelry some vintage things also. Just be prepared to dig through some things. It is well organized and the staff is very friendly and helpful
