"NEW YORK (
AP) — Charlene Catalano was looking for a ball of green-and-white
yarn to crochet this year’s winter scarf.
Instead of going to a big-box retail store, she found what she needed at
Brooklyn Creative Reuse, along with gently used crochet kits, hooks, labels and
other bits. It all cost just $6.
“Nowadays, art is popping off, so things are more expensive,” Catalano said.
“It has the perfect amount of what I need.”
The Brooklyn store is one of hundreds of creative reuse centers across the U.S.
and beyond which aim to keep art supplies out of landfills. They typically sell
donated arts and crafts materials at steep discounts — like thrift stores for
crafting."
