Dupey, who founded Michaels in 1973, named the business Michaels (plural) and Michael's (possessive)? No idea. I love me a Michaels. It's a decent craft store that carries most of what I need. Got a Weeknd concert outfit that needs golden applique? Michaels. Want to create a mini fairy garden at the base of a tree? Michaels. Need some beads to make some friendship bracelets for you, your friends, and Labubus? Michaels! It's a great craft store and as someone who has a degree in Graphic Design, I enjoy doing creative little projects time to time to keep that right hemisphere of the brain sharp.

I stopped in to pick up an online order. Ordering was quick and easy! I found the item I wanted…read morewhich wasn't in stock at the Tempe location yesterday, so finding it online for pick up here at the Chandler store made my day! I walked in, and the online orders were already bagged up and ready for you to grab by the exit doors. I was greeted by the employees at the register as I searched for mine. It was easy to find as they have the bins in alphabetical order and my last name was taped on the outside. I was glad to have extra found what I was looking for, and didn't have to drive all over the place to get it. I'll be sure to check this location again for any future items I may need to decorate my new space!

Cute store that offers various crafting workshops. I attended the sea glass succulent workshop.

It was such a fun experience, I have already signed up for my next workshop!!!

I had never heard of this place before until my coworker reached out to try and plan a girls' night…read morethere. We signed up for the Blankets & Besties workshop, where you make a chunky blanket. You get to choose your color from a list and note it when you register on their website. It was $85 before tax and came with 5 skeins of yarn, with the option to add more (I think for an additional $15). I also put in the notes on my registration the names of my friends so that we could sit together. The workshop was at 6pm on a Friday and lasted about two hours. There was my group of three and three others, plus the owner/instructor Lauren. Her instructions were easy to follow, and she would jump in if we needed help. I made a few errors, and she was able to fix them for me. I ended up making my loops too loose on the outside and too tight on the inside, so my blanket came out a bit small. But I think it was decent for my first attempt. It's so soft. I keep it on my couch to use as a lap blanket. We all had a great time and would definitely come back to try other workshops. My coworker had tried one of the resin workshops and really liked it too.

And the collectibles that allow you to add a bit of fabric, paint or jewels to, just to make it even more personal. I found a bunch of jewelry pieces I intend on making into personalized paintings for gifts this year. I hope the people getting them love them as much as I enjoyed making them.

And if you're in a hurry, wait to stop by, cause crafters and established customers chit chat and that is just the way of it. In my experiences in the store, both employees and customers alike have always been very helpful and informative. If I can't find something or need something - they're quick to help or point me in the right direction. They keep their overhead down by being in a warehouse/office environment and pass along the savings in breaking down their bulk oils and passing the savings on to us. SCORE!

My machine never worked correctly even after servicing. I did have them try again and it was 2 weeks. Again, it did not work correctly. My husband then went on multiple websites and talked to reps and found that the computer part of the machine was last updated in 2018!!! The racing of my sewing machine and then eedle threader never working was never repaired. The repair prices went up to $175.00!! I tried to tell this shop that their repair people did not know what they were doing and I was brushed off!!! No one should have to fo 6 weeks , thennot even have anything done. Also sometimes racing is caused by the foot peddle, which the repair people do not test!!

Plenty of poseable figures, coin banks of your favorite characters, Funko Pop figures, journals, and other stationery items, plush items, pillows, and t-shirts. Everything you can imagine with a connection to Japanese culture. Our absolute favorite offering though is the "grabby games" or toy claw games in the front of the store. Tokens are $1 each so you cannot play forever, but if you are skilled you may grab a toy or collectible or two. We played five times and got an animal coin purse and a small plush animal keychain, too. The store looks like it has some room for expansion and since we have been in other locations where you can barely walk through them due to the quantity of merchandise it was both refreshing and hopeful. Nice to have the space but looking forward to what else they will bring into their store.

Joanna and her team were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely excited to share everything they knew. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, we used natural ingredients, and the atmosphere was very friendly and supportive.

If you are thinking about trying a soap making class, I cannot recommend this place enough!
