Grab bundles of craft supplies from £1 via scrap stores
From tinsel to textiles, buttons to bubble wrap, ReusefulUK scrap stores let you grab dirt-cheap craft materials that might otherwise have been sent to landfill. With 90 locations across the UK, the shops are ideal for anyone looking to do fun art projects, such as families, artists, schools, childminders and community groups.
Prices vary by location. At some, there’s a small annual fee, then you can get what you need at a small extra cost. Others just charge per bundle or price items separately. This deal was mentioned recently on The Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV and many got in touch to ask for more info, so we’ve written this blog.
