The mission

Think twice before you bin it.

Over the Moon is on a mission to get everyone to pause before throwing something away β€” and to reuse or donate it instead. What looks like rubbish to one person is treasure to another. Old buttons, jam jars, fabric offcuts and cardboard boxes are bursting with creative potential.

This little tool reveals the hidden value in your scrap. Have a go, make something joyful, and keep good stuff out of landfill.

πŸ–¨οΈ

Make it

Print your step-by-step instructions as a tidy PDF and away you go. Reused, not binned.

The magic bit ✨

Show us your scrap

Snap a photo or upload one, then tap the bits you can see. We'll do the rest.

✨ Optional: let Claude read my photo automatically

Paste an Anthropic API key and we'll ask Claude to spot the materials in your photo for you. The key stays in your browser only. No key? No problem β€” just tick the bits below by hand.

What can you see in your pile?

Tap everything you've got. The more you tick, the better the ideas.

Ta-da! πŸŽ‰

What we do

The Over the Moon projects

We're a community arts organisation spreading the joys of creativity, sustainability and community along the Sussex coast.

πŸ«™

The Scrap Space

A creative reuse hub in Brighton (Community Base) and Shoreham (The Circular Space). Become a day or year member and take away reclaimed materials for art, craft, play, theatre and DIY β€” all at very low cost.

🎁

Donate your scrap

Pop in with clean, non-hazardous bits and bobs β€” textiles, buttons, beads, yarn, fabric, paper, card, haberdashery, packaging β€” and we'll redistribute them for creative reuse instead of landfill.

🎨

Workshops & play

Hands-on making sessions for all ages, run by an army of friendly volunteer scrap sorters. Sewing, mending, making and mess β€” the good kind.

♻️

A circular Sussex

Everything we do champions the circular economy: keeping good materials in use, reducing waste, and proving that creativity costs the earth a lot less than buying new.

Made something? Show us! πŸŽ‰
