The Create Exchange In Cedar Rapids Is A Unique Craft Store In Iowa

If you are a crafter, chances are you have bins full of supplies you purchased for a project and ended up not needing. These extra beads, cords, brushes, and patterns are all sitting around, unused, taking up space in your house and failing to inspire your next project.

Visit the Create/Exchange, the one of a kind craft store in Cedar Rapids. The store is unusual, in that its inventory comes from the community of crafters, artists, and upcyclers that it serves.
