Creative Reuse Montana

A Shop for Between Swaps

We’re working hard to open Creative Reuse Montana and make more secondhand arts and crafts supplies and activities available to our community. You can help us open!

1️⃣ Join us in person!

We provide the drinks and snacks, interesting finds, and opportunity to meet really great people. It’s a good time.

• Meet the person you’ve been wondering who took those supplies you saw at the Swap.

• Shop before we open to the public and get first dibs on supplies!

• Want to do something that is not sorting and stocking? We are here to support your niche interest, so let us know!!

• Come by 129 S. Main St., Thursday-Sunday, 10-5:30 and Monday 3-7.

2️⃣ Donate Your Supplies

Turn your stash into our community’s next masterpiece. Donate your supplies and we’ll help them find their next home! Use our drop-off hours, schedule an appointment, or ask us to pick them up from you! 🤗

• Drop-in during November: Thursday-Sunday, 10-5:30 and Mondays 3-7 at 129 S. Main St.!

• If you need a different time than what's listed, let us know! text/call 406-823-0794, creativereusemontana@gmail.com 

3️⃣ Tell a friend!

Did you love the Craft Supply Swap? Are you starting to get cozy and make things? Same, same. We have met the coolest people and new friends through the swap, and we want to meet your friends too.

• Spread the word: print and hang a poster!

Thank you 💖

• 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! Even the floor mopping parties are fun 🥳 creativereusemontana@gmail.com
