The idea of CreateForLess first began with the discovery that craft professionals, designers, teachers, scout leaders, camps and other craft enthusiasts were having difficulty finding the prices and quantities of craft supplies that they needed. The founders saw the solution in the Internet, as a way to build a virtual craft supply warehouse that every craft consumer could have access to.

The name CreateForLess clearly defines our mission, to help crafters ‘Create’ their projects ‘For Less’ time, money and hassle. This mission is also reflected in our slogan “Create More, Spend Less”. CreateForLess opened its virtual doors in August 2001 and began offering:
Over 70,000 brand name craft supplies in scrapbooking, sewing, quilting and more.
Discount prices for everyone, so you can save $$ on your supplies.
Buy in Bulk – quantities in increments that work for you.
An easy and fun shopping experience – a simple search process, fast check out, order tracking, and real time inventory so there are no surprises when you receive your package.
Fast and reliable shipping – your craft supplies will generally be shipped within 1 business day.
Think Crafts! – our craft advice blog where you can get the latest trends, project ideas, tips and techniques.
CreateForLess is committed to providing our customers with the best selection, price and service each and every day. Whether you’re shopping for craft, sewing or quilting supplies, you’ll find what you’re looking for at CreateForLess. We hope that you enjoyed shopping at CreateForLess and look forward to serving you in the future.

Createforless is not trendy or anything like that- but what they carry is the basics that we all need when crafting. I joke that no one will take my ginger’s until I’m dead- but that is because they are the best scissors I have found for cutting fabric.  Buying waistband elastic in 25 or 50 yard rolls may seem like overkill- until one realizes just how much elastic one can go through.
