Waterside Scrapstore

Waterside Scrapstore An Aladdin’s cave of low cost recycled arts & crafts resources donated by local businesses. That's what we do.

To a child a plastic tube can be a powerful spaceship, a cardboard box a skyscraper and a pile of foam or fabric offcuts the building blocks of something amazing. We are a tiny Totton based charity providing an Aladdin’s cave of low cost recycled arts and crafts resources for the communities in which we operate. Our volunteers collect clean waste materials donated by local businesses and although

we are open to everyone, our materials are mainly used for kids arts and crafts activities stimulating innovation and creativity at a young age, enhancing learning and play experiences at the same time as diverting waste from landfill.

One of our many clever crafters sent us this picture saying…

‘Not sure if this looks vintage or just old fashioned but incredibly practical to keep dust off of shoulders and made from a fabric sample and bias binding from scrap bag.’

What a great idea!

Two very different ideas to make for Christmas.
The cards are made by using scrap fabric and the Christmas tree is made from stuffed and covered milk bottle top, embellished with odd pieces of jewelry and covered in festive fabrics.
We have some very crafty members and volunteers.

We have just taken in a generous donation of organic 100% cotton Jersey fabric strips. The three in the photo are about 4” wide.
One of our volunteers made these beautiful scrunchies.
We also have a supply of black, grey and light brown, these strips are slightly wider.
What could you make with this fabric?

A lovely member bought one of our new white 100% cotton shower curtains. Having made a table cloth to compliment a previously crafted table runner, she decided to use the remaining white fabric to make an icy rag wreath.
Please send us photos of how you are repurposing these shower curtains.
