I've come here for children's art supplies, gifts, and paintbrushes. Their paintbrush selection is fantastic--I've used some for painting and even repurposed others for makeup, and they've all worked great. They carry everything you could possibly need: brushes, paint, canvases, drawing supplies like pencils, pens, chalk, and charcoal, and a huge variety of crafting materials. You'll find jewelry-making supplies, sand art, glitter, stencils, scrapbooking items, face paint, gold leaf, and even supplies for sculpture. The store is well-organized, and the staff is always helpful if you need to find something or have questions. It's a place where you can find inspiration for any creative project. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Montrose!

You can find almost anything in here: yarn, fabric, kids books, cookbooks, misc cards, seashells, school supplies, cds, stickers, ink pads, and a lot more. It's organized in sections but it's a lot to take in. Most things were sold by weight or number of items which was very affordable. Most expensive thing was the yarn which was $12/pound, but everything else we bought was less than $2 each. If you took the time, you could find some steals. I got a brand new jacket for my dog for $1. I'll definitely be coming back here.

I always have trouble finding someone able to help or someone knowledgeable about their products. Sometimes they walk right past you just to avoid you. What kind of customer service is this? this last time really made me upset. I went in wanting to get some supplies and there was no one to help. They were all pretending to be busy on the other side of the school. And when I will try and go and approach one they seem to rush off somewhere else, again, pretending to be busy.. And there's one creepy looking guy in the back paper section. I've known him for years. He always just stands around and pretends to look busy and just stares at you very strange and weird. He never offers to help or anything. According to all these other reviews, it looks like they all have experienced the same situation with this guy. Who is he? Why is he like that? And why would the staff member park her neon green SUV in the handicap space. I see it park like that all the time ?!?

There's a variety of art mediums and options for any kind of craft or project you have in mind.

The owner is very friendly and is so helpful in helping you choose the right art supplies. She'll even help you save money on products you don't really need. Definitely recommend a visit here.

I recently visited one of their locations in Santa Monica after they closed their marvelous Beverly Hills location. There are two Santa Monica locations. I visited the smaller one. However, they had what I needed and the service was great. For a broader selection visit the larger of the Santa Monica stores. The wrapping papers while exquisite were pricey. Still if you have a pricey gift that is not too large, this is the place to find wrapping paper and ribbon. I like the wire rimmed ribbons, b/c I am not too handy at wrapping gifts and detailing them with ribbon. The wire rimmed makes it easier. I used to buy the wire rimmed ribbon at stores like the Container store in their after Xmas sales. You can buy solid red paper, a Xmas color, and use it all year for birthdays, children's gifts etc.

I was in the area for my birthday and she gave us suggestions on what else we could get into while we were there. They also had shoes, hello kitty and larger bears to paint. The process is very personal so that took some getting used to but I found that to be the most enjoyable about it. You get one hour to decorate your bear and if you're local you have a few days to pick it up once it dries. Our bears were $85 and shipping was $15. The delivery was smooth and my baby made it to me without any issues. I named her Fern :-). I'd definitely recommend this as a fun activity that's not liquor or food focused.

It's a year round event and it shifts from morning time in the winter months and to the evening in the summer months. Most of the businesses along 19th street open up late and it's a big festival of sorts. There are artists from physical art to musical art performing. Lots of little booths and tables to display their craft. Overall, it brings this whole area to life and is worth visiting at least once. Gives you something different to do on a date.

I came to Michael's on Dacoma Street because that's the only store that carried a specific frame that I was looking for. The employee was friendly and helpful. I didn't have any issues during my online pick up. The store was clean and lots of open space from where I was looking at. Because it was close to closing time, I didn't get a chance to look around. Driving here from the Loop to 290 was tricky. I had to study the turning lanes prior to driving here. The parking lot is huge. There are other nice stores and an Asian buffet next door. So, I am likely to return for some exploring and shopping at Michael's Dacoma.

I've seen those expensive art ones locked up, but not several of the cheaper brands. They had a lot of cute hobby equipment, but the prices were outrageously high.

Their Christmas decorations were very nice, and they were bringing out some of the Valentine's stuff already. I feel like you could get a good deal with their seasonal items, but like your everyday hobby, like coloring, painting, etc., you get robbed by them.
