POSTER CHILD   This reliable arts & crafts store in Bolingbrook always has some kind of sale going on.   I've stopped into this Hobby Lobby on Weber Rd a couple times to buy frames and canvas art, after noticing the walls in our house had been looking rather bare.  The store itself is pretty sleepy as there's rarely more than 4-5 people shopping at any given time, with only 1-2 staff and a single register open.   The colorful textiles and D.I.Y. fabrics are towards the back of the store, while picture accessories and seasonal things are on the right.  Frames were 50% off when I visited - a 20" x 16" was priced at $6, down from $12 - so I paid considerably less than if I'd gone on Amazon.  The cheap frames fit my needs perfectly.   I also bought two tropical landscapes for the master bathroom.  Their canvas art comes in all kinds of formats, be it a large square or skinny vertical (6" x 36").  Hobby Lobby has an area devoted to Star Wars, Marvel and some DC stuff, plus a nautical/oceany section with anchors, ship wheels, and a very cool holographic shark.  CHOMP!   * TL;DR *   You can usually expect to see some type of discount on Hobby Lobby's merchandise, and that makes them an appealing option as more stores try to compete with online retailers.   My experiences thus far have been quiet but successful.  I'm glad to have a place nearby that carries such a wide assortment of project materials and home décor. read more

See all

Nice store. Lots of great decor and easy to find merchandise. Always very well stocked and clean. At Christmas time I am literally in here everyday to grab another component for my Christmas decor. I wish they would get into this century with their registers with scanners etc it'd make things go a lot, lot faster. read more

Had a very "finicky" jersey to have framed... when I was not satisfied with the first outcome, Kevin & Emily were very helpful and corrected the problem without any issue. Great customer service and the store is very organized! read more

We came in looking for a hoodie to DIY and an employee (don't know her name she was wearing glasses and had a balayage if i can remember) yelled at us to not throw shit on the ground. She specifically said " YOU CANT THROW SHIT ON THE GROUND". (We did not throw anything. My friend put her sweater down). She was angry for no reason. read more

Poor customer experience - waited in the only open checkout, while I counted four employees milling around, not checking me out. One was literally doing nothing other than greeting the one customer who came while I waited, just looking at me and making no effort to assist....not shopping at Hobby Lobby again anytime soon. read more

I just left This Hobby Lobby and I have decided that I will not be returning. Every time I go into this hobby lobby and Lynnea has to check me out it's not a good experience for me. I have tolerated her attitude and I just won't anymore. She checked out my garland and just stuffed it the first bag crushing the leaves so I asked her to let me bag my own garland because I didn't want it damaged. She say 'here' and hands me one bag I ask her for a couple more. Laura see's me bagging my items and comes over to ask if I need any assistance and gives me a large bag to place the remainder of my items. Thank you Laura! I usually love coming to this location because of the variety of items but I will never sacrifice my buying power again. read more

Not a fan of this Hobby Lob. This location is a lot messier than other locations and parts of the building seem abandoned. Like, maybe they need more staff or a fresh paint job. Their selection is limited and I found that many times when something I'm doing requires 2 of a supply, I'll be sh*t outta luck because they only stock one at a time in the same color. It's a shame because the store is huge and they have their own parking lot so parking is a cinch but it just doesn't cut it. Also, the in-store religious stuff is creepy. read more

Every once in a while I get inspired to get creative, and this store will inspire that creativity. I find that if I go early in the morning, I have better luck getting needed help and finding things in some type of order. Today I had the misfortune to get behind a woman who was returning 214 pieces of white poster board. It had to be counted and as the line grew, the cashier did call for assistance. I really wanted to ask this woman what she needed over 200 pieces of poster board for, but not my business. Surprisingly, not only do they carry crafty items, but they also sell bookcases, tables, chairs, lamps, and today they had a huge display of picture frames, at 50% off I might add. I just happen to have been sent 2 family photos yesterday, and found just the right frames for them ~ score. They open at 9, which is also a big plus in my book, I'm a morning person. Returns within 60 days with your receipt are not a hassle, just in case you cannot complete that project. read more

I was told that I could return return fabric that I bought that I didn't use for a project. I had cut down a the pice to fit my need better. So I had came back to return it the big pice that I didn't need no longer and was told that I can't return because it was returning a Half eating bag of chips "Quoteby Vicky worker at place. She was rude Indian seem like she was interested in helping people. Will not come here for anything again that's A promise read more

Hobby Lobby - You can't return fabric that you didn't end up using even thought I was told it was possible by a coworker who cuts fabric at hobby lobby. - Hobby Shops Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

I simply love this store! Everyone who works here is ALWAYS helpful and kind. I could spend hours and thousands here. They carry everything you need for crafts, home decor, simple furniture, sewing, painting, framing and even have a great selection of greeting cards and gift wrap. I love shopping to the soft familiar Christian hymns played on the overhead speakers. Kinda what heaven must be like? LOL Hopefully they stay in Bolingbrook forever unlike other craft and fabric stores that are here today and gone tomorrow. SHOP HERE!!!! read more

I came for ornaments. Pink and purple, small globe ornaments. I left with those ornaments and for 50% off. SUCCESS! I previously visited the Aurora store, which had every other color of the rainbow except pink or purple. And of course it was essential to the execution of the mini Christmas tree for my desk, which was to be decorated in rainbow-colored ornaments. No pink and purple would have meant that my Pinterest endeavor had failed. There were plenty of registers open, and I didn't have to wait in line for long. The store is clean and organized, and the layout is easy to navigate. There weren't many employees working on the sales floor, but this didn't bother me since I knew exactly what I needed and where to find it. Good job, Bolingbrook! read more

Have you ever gone to a store and wondered why every time you walk in checking out takes about 45 minutes? That pretty much sums up every experience I have ever had with this store. There could be 6 employees standing up at the front and you would still have to wait because chances are, only one is actually working a register. I do like it here. They have a decent selection of fairly overpriced fabric and a large assortment of crafting supplies. There is always a large ammount of seasonal and holiday items that are somehow always on sale. One big plus is also the large home decor department. If you need a basket, picture or giant wall clock, they have it. The big draw is that they probably have everything you need in one place, but you definitely pay more than if you bargain shopped to Joanns and Meijer. The lines are horrendous too. My thinking about those lines right now brings up feelings of anger. At least all of the employees are nice. read more

Yes, the store is huge. Yes, if you are a crafter, this place is probably your version of porn. But, if you are an average gal like me, you may find this place to be massively off-putting and intimidating. Twice, I came in for what I thought were to be basic items. Once for a zipper pull; they only sell the whole zipper. Second time, I came in for colored chime candles. Out of five aisles of candles of all colors, shapes, scents, and sizes, they only had a few lonely boxes of white chime candles. I came in one more time for some red ink and new Calligraphy nubs. Oddly, the ink and the nubs are three aisles away from each other, and I had to hunt down an employee to help me out. None of the aisles are marked, nor are there definitive borders to the sections of the store. I will admit, that the employees are completely fabulous here, and will hand march you right to the items you need. Unfortunately, they are far and few between . I really don't come in here armed with the weekly sales ad; and it looks like they aren't big into marking the sale items. I was happy to find out that my ink was 20% percent off that week! I guess it's a crap-shoot when you get to the register. read more

How can you not roll around drooling when you're in a Hobby Lobby if you're a crafter? Okay, I guess it's kind of easy to resist... I love Hobby Lobby and this is one of my go-to locations. I just like the layout and I feel it has a nicer feel than others. This location is near my parents house so it was my go-to source for my crafty needs all through high school and continues to be to this day (when I'm in town of course). For whatever reason, I feel like the yarn selection should be located on the opposite side of the store, but that's an odd personal preference... Hobby Lobby always has pretty good sales going on and the place is huge. You can likely find something to do, even if you go in there with no real intentions of creating a specific craft. You can definitely throw around some cash in this location because they have a huge section of adorable home goods. I cannot remember if all of them are like that....but this should have what you need. read more

I love Hobby Lobby because the employes are very helpful and nice. I recently bought a kit to fix my necklace and all was well. I went to check out purchased the kit and left. When I went home, the kit was gone. I checked the bags and my car but it was simply gone. I'm not blaming the cashier or the store, but I do think this store could do a better job of keeping the shelves more organized. read more

I'm in about every week. I enjoy browsing and TRYING to be creative. I think it's funny that the leadership complains about how offering health insurance will cause them to lay people off and there is NEVER anyone available to ask questions of and they ever only have one register open. It's also funny that all the "down home farm" decor is all manufactured in CHINA. Kind of hypocritical wouldn't you say? I do like the selection of goods, I just wish the quality was a little better, was made in America, and not so OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive for bad reproductions of antiques. This location also doesn't seem to offer many courses. read more

I LOVE this store!!! They are a bit more pricey for almost everything scrap booking related, but that evens out when you swap price tags on expensive things for tags off of cheap items - since they don't use scanners there and type everything into the register by hand. :) If you know what a fair price is for supplies, then you'll know when they're trying to bend you over for an item and - voila! - it magically becomes cheaper with the flick of a sticky tag. :p read more

This Hobby Lobby seemed to have cool stuff, the staff kind of scared me off though, not very friendly. I will probably find a different craft store now. Not the best place for people who appreciate friendly staff when they shop. read more

I hate this store. Just waited in line for 15 minutes with two things. The customer in front of me had a tax exempt letter which, at Hobby Lobby, requires you to sign away your first born. And the cashier who was available simply announced she was open. Not "would the next in line step over." So everyone hovering near check out rushed over. It's too too bad that Michael's and JoAnn Fabrics both closed down the street. Hobby Lobby was always my third choice and unfortunately now the only choice. read more

I love this store. I only wish it was open on Sundays. It would be more convenient to close on a Monday (for example) and open on Sundays instead. I bet they would have more business on a day people have a chance to go out. read more

Great customer service. Everyone is always happy to help you when needed. I use I LOVE THIS YARN By Hobby Lobby. Beautiful soft yarn for the price and I get lots of compliments with my crochet work . I am glad that this company is closed on Sundays and Holidays for their workers can be home with family ! read more

I was disappointed with this location hobby lobby, the isles where messy like no one walks through and fixes things when people mess them up. They also didn't have a very good selection of anything for that matter. Normally I love this place, I'm a very crafty DYI person so I come here because prices are fair and normally there's a lot to choose from so I was surprised when I went there this time. Also during check out the workers talk and discuss private matters that guest don't need to hear when paying. And we also don't want to here how much you hate your job while we're paying, just seems common sense to me that you acknowledge the person in front of you and not talk like No one is in front of you, ask me if I found everything okay, tell me about any deals you have going on, make small talk. No one choose your job so do what ur getting paid to do and quit complaining in front of customers. Little changes like that can make a sad inventory seem not that big of an issue. read more

Love this store! Staff is very helpful! I needed more of an item than what they had in stock so they ordered more and called me when it came in. Prices are good , Store is clean! read more

I like a store that stands up for their beliefs and stands up for their mission. It is not up to me as a customer if they cover birth control or not. No one is forced to workk for them. No one is forced to carry their insurance. The great thing about this country is that we do have choices. They also have great stuff for great prices. read more
