Exodus 36:3-7

3 and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill-offerings every morning.
4 All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.
5 They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."
6 Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
