Upcycle Parts Shop

Upcycle Parts Shop is the leader in sustainable art and craft supplies in Cleveland. We are a non-profit dedicated to provoking creativity and promoting community through reuse.

We shine a light on the value of everything around us. To us, upcycling is about believing in the value of materials already in our hands and homes, the joy of sparking creativity in ourselves and others, and the energy of building community. We serve thousands of participants each year by supplying our materials to creative endeavors through our retail shop, leading engaging programming, selling our own upcycled designs, and building community in Cleveland's St. Clair community that we call home.

Together, we have diverted over 24 tons of waste from the landfill since opening in 2014 and we are grateful to hundreds of donors and patrons for helping us create less waste & more art!

See this cute little caboodle-caddy? It's a prototype we made from plastic 2 liter bottles to house loose parts for a new early childhood program we’re developing! We love how this design allows little hands to easily choose and sort, and we are of course extra excited to have found another way to reuse this pesky single use plastic. And...we are eager to make more! Do you have any clean and clear 2 liter plastic bottles with the slightly curvy lower half like the ones pictured? We'll take 'em! 🌼 Please bring your bottle donations to our shop during our retails hours, Thursdays 2-6 and Saturdays 10-4. Thank you for helping us create less waste and more art!

Seen this graphic hanging around the internet lately? You'll wanna know about it! We teamed up this month with @yelpcleveland to put on a FREE Bottle Blossom workshop Tuesday, March 26th from 7-9pm as part of their Culture Club series: a peep into some great local organizations and activities like soap making, swing dancing, cinema, and ASL signing!
.
Our spot is next week, but its not too late to raise your hand for a seat! Follow the tag to RSVP and make sure to read all of the rules. (The most important being that Yelp is running the logistics of the event this time, so all questions and seating will go through them.)
.
We're really excited to bring some new faces into the Upcycle Parts Shop community through this event. If you have a Yelp account, maybe we'll see you there! If not, we'll see you at our next workshop in April!

We have about 30 of these beauties in the shop right now depicting various states, animals, and postal history. These collectibles would be a PERFECT tiny gift or adornment on that spring jacket youre about to bust back out!

Some seriously good finds this week as far as paper goods go: a collection of "Close Up" maps, some vintage floppy books on cartoons and sewing to page through, and a few coloring books from the 70s!

We'll be open 10am-4pm today, friends!
