At ReCreate, we believe second chances are beautiful—whether it’s a jar of buttons, a bin of yarn, or a rescued pet. We're Wichita’s first upcycled art and craft supply store, turning gently used materials into fresh inspiration—while keeping waste out of landfills and giving back to local animal rescues.
From discounted craft treasures to one-of-a-kind finds, ReCreate is a haven for makers, teachers, thrifters, and dreamers. Every purchase supports our mission—and every donation helps fuel creativity and compassion in our community.
Let’s make something good together.
A portion of all sales goes to Always & Furever, a local no kill shelter.
We accept art and craft donations during normal business hours.
To make an appointment for extra large donations (10 or more tubs),
please call 316-530-7675
