A DIY lover's dream come true…read more..
This is one of the best, if not the best, arts/craft store in the area for DIY types like myself. They offer DIY tutorial classes and have everything imaginable in stock. If you can't locate it, just ask. The staff is both friendly and knowledgeable about all types of crafting. The DIY crowd is who they cater to, which means they know their stuff. Stencils, acrylic and oil paints and paint brushes, Mod Podge, craft papers, dollhouse materials, buttons, fabric, etc.
Beyond the DIY stuff, they always have such cute home decor. Picture frames, candles, votives, artwork, vases, charger plates, etc. Their line of Wilton professional baking pans, fluting tubes, icing, cupcake holders, cake stands and more is pretty impressive for both the amateur baker and the semi-pro as well. I like the new Martha Stewart DIY line. It's a little more expensive, but the quality is worth it.
Michaels's has terrific assortment of prints and frames in the back. They do custom framing as well, but that is pretty pricey, although they do offer discounts through their printed and online coupon offers on framing, as well as on all regular-priced merchandise. They're always running sales of some kind or another. BOGO sales in the art/photo frame department happen all the time, so it pays to stock up.
If you don't have a coupon on you, they just give you one from their ad, so it doesn't even matter if you didn't bring one. Plus, they always ring up the discount off the most expensive item in your cart instead of the least expensive, which I can't stand, though most retailers adhere to the lowest-priced item philosophy.
