How (and Why) to Destash Your Craft Supplies — and Sell Them on Remnan

Why Destashing Is a Crafter’s Best Friend

If you’re a maker, you already know: craft supplies have a way of multiplying. A little fabric here, some beads there, the “just in case” paint set you bought on clearance. Before you know it, you’ve got bins and boxes overflowing.

And yet… we’re always hunting for something new to spark an idea. That’s why destashing, or sorting through your stash and letting go of what you no longer use, is one of the most refreshing things you can do for your creative space.

It’s not just about clearing shelves. Destashing makes room for new supplies and new ideas. And when you sell the items you no longer want, you’re turning them into cash that you can put toward the next project that excites you.

The Joy of Letting Your Supplies Live On

One of the best parts of destashing is knowing your materials are going to someone who will actually use them.

When you sell on Remnants, you’re offering your items to a community that loves creative reuse. Our buyers aren’t just casually browsing—they’re actively seeking secondhand craft supplies because they believe in using what already exists.

That box of buttons you never got around to using? Someone might turn them into statement jewelry. The skeins of yarn from your sweater phase? They could become part of a baby blanket. Watching other creatives go wild for your unwanted materials is simply awesome.
