I found 6 gifts in one trip!…read more I really like the fun things that you can find here, those off beat gifts people aren't expecting. 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.

I recently visited this location and was so happy with the items I found! There was so much…read moreclearance; the store was air-conditioned, clean, and the restrooms were clean as well. It was not crowded, and I was able to browse the store and check out all the new items. The staff is friendly, and I had a good shopping experience here. I love this location because the store is twice as big as the other locations, and there's always so much clearance, and it is always fully stocked!

Cute store that offers various crafting workshops. I attended the sea glass succulent workshop. The…read moreinstructor was extrenely informative (and suppprtive), she made sure everyone had material and constantly checked to ensure nothing was running low. She was available for questions throughout the entire workshop if needed. The pricing for attending the workshop was extremely reasonable. 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.

We love Michaels, right? Yelpers named Michael, celebs named Michael, and craft stores named after…read moreMichael. Any why did businessman Michael J. 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!

There was a lot to choose from here. I came to buy a graduation gift my daughter's friend wanted,…read moreand I was very impressed. I would have liked to have seen more how-to-draw guides because I like to buy those for my daughter, but it's only a minor complaint. I laughed out loud at the Snoop Dog crochet kit (and I totally approve because he's awesome). The associates were all very nice. They greeted me, asked if I needed anything, and wished me a nice day even though I used self checkout. Like most craft stores, it does feel a little overpriced, but then in this economy, everything feels expensive. Oh, and I loved the model car and space ship selection! My brother would have enjoyed these. And they have photo albums! I'm rarely on social media, and the old soul in me misses physical photographs.

I had a great experience here the other day. Michael's always has a really great selection of ANY…read moreart and crafts project you're trying to start, but I especially love the seasonal decorations! On this trip, they'd already put out Halloween decorations and I was really excited to see what kind of items they'd have! I loved everything, but of course nothing was on sale yet. Usually they'll discount the seasonal decor around the same time of the holiday though, so I'll check back in a few months. I did end up purchasing a few items, including a door mat and one Halloween decor item. The door mats are always a really great deal, and are good quality too! Lacey helped me check out and provided me with a coupon for 20% off a full price item. I really appreciated this. I would definitely shop here again!

My husband and I wanted to try a soap making class as something fun to do together, and we…read moreabsolutely loved it! 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. As a great bonus, kits were available to purchase too, so we could keep making soaps on our own. We left feeling inspired and accomplished, already looking forward to our next batch. If you are thinking about trying a soap making class, I cannot recommend this place enough!

This is one of my all-time favorite places to waste time and money. The store is just fab-U-lous,…read moredahling! The Beaderie has a very upscale boutique/gallery feel to it. The owner and others working the shop seem very knowledgeable about their craft, and will tell you all about the origins behind each of the special beads they carry. They are also very good about offering design advice if needed. The Beaderie caries glass, seed, imported, hand-painted ceramic, crystal, semi-precious, and vintage (my fave) beads. Lots of them. Maybe not as many as other places, but the selection seems to have more variety and pizzazz than most. I had to deduct a star because on the one occasion I brought my daughters-- hoping to pass on my inexplicable love of little colored glass objects to them-- the woman behind the counter was rude. She watched us like a hawk and acted as if they would break or steal something. Sheesh! But witchy clerk or not, I still love you, Beaderie!
