Our Mission

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 local animal no kill rescues and shelters.

We accept art and craft donations by appointment for anything over one

carry size box or bag. To make an appointment, please call 316-530-7675
