The Reuse Cabinet

The Reuse Cabinet

We're keeping community craft supplies in circulation in our small but mighty reuse cabinet! The cabinet houses variety of tools and materials for making things, all at very low prices. It’s a small cabinet and we’re a small team, so we appreciate you donating items that are in good condition and easy to use.

Rules:

We accept:

  • Drawing and markmaking tools
  • Small amounts of paint with sealed caps
  • Brushes with intact bristles
  • Knitting needles, crochet hooks, and yarn
  • Embroidery supplies
  • Used sketchbooks with used pages torn out

We can't accept:

  • Solvents, aerosols, or toxic chemicals
  • Cans of paint, or dried/leaking paint
  • Bent needles, matted brushes, or broken tools
  • Tangled or unlabeled loose materials
  • Incomplete kits
  • Most bulk items

Everything in this cabinet should be like a gift to a friend: clean, functional, and ready to use. Donations are accepted on weekdays only.

Please bring 1 bag of items at a time and a staff member will take a look with you.

By donating, you allow Acorn Craft Shop to resell your items for a low fee. If you’d prefer your items are donated to a 501c3 nonprofit, 
we love Brooklyn Creative Reuse in Industry City. (Any donations that cannot fit in the cabinet or in Acorn storage will find itself there too!)
