Discover. Connect. Create.

Give your unused craft supplies a new purpose and discover affordable materials for your next creative project.

Welcome to the Craft Cache!

Craft rooms everywhere are full of perfectly good supplies that never got used. Meanwhile, plenty of makers are hunting for affordable materials.

The Craft Cache brings these groups together. Twice a year, we gather contributed supplies from our community and open the doors to a free, friendly swap — no professional skills, fancy materials, or contributions required.

Why Participate?

Good for your wallet, your craft room, and your community

You don’t need to be a professional artist or own expensive supplies. Beginners, hobbyists, teachers, students, and small-business makers are all welcome.

Craft For Less

Find quality materials for a fraction of the retail price — perfect for students, teachers, and makers on a budget.

Clear the craft room

Make space for what you love and recover some value from supplies you’ve outgrown.

Keep Supplies out of the landfill

Usable materials get a second life instead of sitting in a closet or a trash bin.

Meet your fellow makers

Swap tips, trade ideas, and connect with crafters across Manhattan and the Flint Hills.

Come shop, bring supplies, or both. There’s a seat at the craft table for you.

Registration is free and takes less than a minute. It helps us plan — it’s never a purchase.
