Thank you to everyone who made the fall Craft Supply Swap so much fun. We're so excited to see what you make!
We have loved meeting new volunteers and seeing repeat swap volunteers who are all meeting, chatting, sorting, and being amazed at what comes in! This is a big effort, and seeing the excitement and new connections keep us going. 💖
Please get in touch if you can help with any of this! It's fun, creative, and we love to see you! 🥳

We've outgrown our shop space! Help us find a new home by January 1:
1200-1500 sq ft
ground floor (ideal)
foot-traffic friendly
space for gathering
unloading zone
bright (for workshops)
rentable (with flexibility on lease duration)
Since the first swap just two years ago, a lot has happened! The community of artists, crafters, and makers has expanded the mission of the swap to also include mini-swaps, a second hand craft shop on Main Street in Livingston, opportunities to build community around crafting, workshops, and providing supplies to teachers, schools, and memory care centers.
Last September, we created Creative Reuse Montana, the organization that supports all of these activities. We got access to the shop space on October 1, 2025 and opened on the holiday art walk, November 21! Our experiment to see if we could make more supplies accessible to our community over the winter months and between swaps - particularly with mental health in mind - is sticking. Since October 2025, we have diverted more than 18,556.22 pounds of creative supplies from the waste stream and made them available to our community.
Just like we’ve outgrown our venues for the swap, we’re outgrowing our space in the shop. Please reach out to us with any leads! email info@creativereusemontana.com or text/call 406-823-0794
