I'm not a crafty person but I knit for the sheer relaxation it provides so I'm in this store to…read morepick up yarn frequently. While it's not like the big craft stores on the mainland it does carry a nice line of yarns. During the pandemic I would buy a lot more skeins because my projects were bigger. Now I'm finding my supplies have dwindled and I'm back picking up more yarn but for smaller projects. I've started making leis which is actually a crocheting craft but pleasurable nonetheless. They also offer a myriad of classes for everything from jewelry making to lei making and it's amazing to see the number of men in the mix. Good for you guys! Crafting is a great may to focus on something that is relaxing and fun. Got to be a reason so many do it. There's quite a selection of items for baking, scrapbooking, framing, painting, floral arrangements and believe it not making fishing lures. Yep my grandson is always in here buying stuff to make his lures with. This business is in the Mapunapuna area with a parking lot fronting the store.

Alden talked me down off the ledge, was so helpful and generous with his time, and provided great service once I was in the store (all while finding me the exact floating candle I needed, phew!). Always loved Flora-Dec but now I know they can be an event lifesaver! Thank you again, Alden. (P.S. next time, I'll actually bring you some bacon)

For the easiest experience, make a reservation the day before over the phone. It's a small shop and…read moreseats are limited to ~16 people at full capacity. Even if some seats *are* open, most chairs will be used as spacers for the comfort of guests. You get 2 hours to paint and it takes 5 weeks to process. The owner is inflexible and abrasive but it's a local shop, not Disneyland. Total price adds up quickly when you get multiple pieces to paint. I've painted pieces over the years, and still regularly use them. This is a reliable establishment to make something nice for yourself or a loved one. It'd be better if they took online reservations through a third party. Few people would be comfortable giving their card details over the phone to a stranger. It's common sense not to. Maybe another kiln would be helpful, too.

While the selection cannot compare to their flagship store, there are still plenty of foam flowers here at an incredible deal. Foam flowers and accessories are pretty much what they specialize in, and they do it very well. I think their most popular items may be the six for $5 foam flowers found on the shelves at the entrance. You can mix and match between different sizes and colors. Fantastic deal for great gifts that are extremely easy to pack and won't break the wallet. To get to this outpost location, enter the Waikiki International Market Place from Kalakaua. Look towards the little storefronts on the righthand side, and it should be a few stores in from the street.

Uniquely Kawaii…read more.. That's what CAS Crafts & Collectibles is, located in Pearlridge Center this little kiosk cart is filled to the brim top to bottom with all thinks kawaii not just stationaries and accessories but plushies and decor. Pearlridge Center is filled with many places anime and Kpop though here they just seem to find items that aren't found anywhere else and at such great prices what a find to see items that are so special and makes my gift giving a breeze! What a find including some Line Friends items which is just the most difficult ones to find and they have it here yay!! My bestie have apparently discovered this place which I have known for quite some time but haven't had the chance to write a review but they certainly deserve the five stars for the selection and friendly staff who points out the matching item to pair with whatever direction I'm going and that's a ten star team! Thank you!

Super cute merchandise at a kiosk in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Strolling through Pearlridge Mall, I didn't expect to see Brown and Cony, but there they were... As angels together! How can I resist? Located between TJ Maxx and Macy's, this section of Pearlridge used to be called Downtown, but now, it's Wai Makai. I wasn't going to buy anything... Really... We had just finished breakfast and had time before lunch... CAS Crafts & Collectables has so many cute items - pens, stationary, keychains, plushies, etc. I actually found Brown and Choco pillows from Line Friends (the Korean version of Sanrio). I had to get the Brown plushie for my friend's birthday next month! She'll luv it!!! I don't want to show her the Brown and Cony angel plushies... There was only one... and it was priced lower than an online store (plus - avoid paying shipping)!!! It's also better to get items from this kiosk - rather than going to Korea to buy them! Haha! Come take a look! There are unique things here! ... and service was very friendly and helpful!

A wide selection of colors, however, a few of the popular colors and flowers were out of stock. The beads are light weight, flexible, and the stems may be easily cut shorter. I was happily surprised that it did not feel rough or abrasive against material or the human skin. Great for simple DIY craft projects. My first project was to create a forever lei bag charm. The flower beads are reasonably priced and affordable for crafting projects. Service was okay lol. The cashier could have shown a little more interest. No smile or thank you for coming today. Maybe it was an off day for her. Other employees were nice and helpful in finding the beads. Overall a 4.5 star experience. Rounded up to 5 stars.

Where's the die cut machine…read more.. Coming from the west side I thought that stopping here at the Pearl City Shopping Center lower level near Daiso would be perfect as I needed to use their die cut machine for a graduation party decor as it was late in the day with lots of errands after work I was pressed for time as I searched around this shop which is quite large but have so many branches of aisles it was a maze just searching around like a lost mouse roaming around. Though I didn't find the die cut machine I did see something new and super cute a large selection of patches all small and about an 1" in size along with various little key fob and little coin purse to personalize and at $1 each patch you know it stopped me in my busy tracks and totally got me thinking of some projects...omg! I'm not used to the layout of this location and because of that I usually don't come here but with fun items like patches and the trend of mini totes it may sway me in Pearl City for some ideas lol, staff was just there smiled but didn't really acknowledge me which was fine as I was in a hurry and left with more ideas than I needed. Thank you!

Located inside a small plaza near Ala Moana (Piikoi st.) They share a private parking area with Cho Dangs Honolulu and Nijiya Market. They have a wide variety of items that changes constantly and something new available at the shop. Once you set your eyes on something rare, I recommend buying it instead of waiting because I guarantee you it will not be there the next time you visit. I also advise that the store can get really expensive because these are mostly imported goods from Japan. So spend wisely! Sales and discounts are also provided, but on rare occasions. The employees are also very helpful and nice. They will support your purchase just not your wallet (lol).
