About US

Craftaholics got its start by ​multiple donations of craft ​materials as Abby (Otter ​Chaos’ owner) organized for ​clients and friends in her ​former Texas community. ​The crafting stash grew and ​grew, as crafting stashes do.

Abby is still often gifted crafting supplies. These gifts are meant for sharing. ​And so, this space was born. We continue to accept donations.

Craftaholic Members can stop in to experiment, create, or finish projects ​using any of our donated supplies. We also offer classes and host gatherings ​for members and non-members.

Materials

Our main materials are yarn, fabric, paper, and beads. We ​make everything from sock puppets to personal vision ​journals to beaded jar lanterns.

We love to create crafts from materials that would ​otherwise end up in the trash. Paperboard boxes, jars, ​bottle caps, and even cat food cans can be used to make ​recycled books, candles, mosaic projects, and punched ​metal candle holders. If we can think of a way to use it, we ​will happily accept your donated goodies and junk!

Membership

One membership card is $20. Each card allows 20 2 hour visits. Crafters ​may bring friends. One time visit fee is $2 or you can allow your friend a ​punch on your card. These fees go toward buying supplies that aren’t ​donated as often like glue, and jewelry findings.

Membership is required to use the tools and supplies in ​the Craftaholics gathering space.

Some events are free to everyone. Some events like classes ​with special materials will have a fee. The free or fee events ​do not require membership.

Our Community

Sometimes, we craft just to craft. We don’t necessarily want it ​for ourselves or to take it home at all. In cases like these, Otter ​Chaos can sell your creations for the benefit of the Youth ​Mural Project. 100% of the sales price of a Craftaholic’s craft is ​donated to the YMP. You can see their work all over town, and ​we love it! We love supporting the next generation’s creativity.
