Hobby Lobby

Hobby Lobby is one of my favorite artistic supply stores to go to. They have so much to explore at decent prices. Their coupons make some of the more expensive things more affordable. I like to get glass for mosaics here with the 40% off coupon. I’ve had a few pieces of my art framed here for art shows and I’ve always been satisfied with the options, prices and overall service. Customer service has been good also, no rude or frustrated workers crossing my path. They carry a variety of name brands, something for the novice or professional in different creative areas (painting, drawing, modeling, glassworks, jewelry making, floral arrangements, or home décor). If you forget your coupon and have your phone handy you can pull up their website and use the 40% coupon on a regular priced item… which is what I just did ;-)

Finally made it here… very nice selection of crafts, Christian-​themed décor. I’ll definitely be back. One thing major that disappointed me was the horrifically disgusting restroom! At least 2 commodes filled with paper, dirty, un-​mopped floors, and extremely bad smell! Really?! I thought cleanliness was next to Godliness!

i used to have to shop around for everything I would need for a project/​craft but now I just go to hobby lobby because they have everything and more!

Although I do love the products sold at hobby lobby — good variety of holiday decorations, plenty of art & scrapbooking supplies, nice home décor, & more — I cant say the service is too great. While the lines can get very crazy, they don’t have enough staff on at a time. And since the cashiers have to put in the price manually (maybe they should update their system), they need to have more cashiers working to manage the long lines. Ive waited in lined foreverrrr once, and one staff member told me to move to a different line. When I did that, the line I was in was moving so quickly… the 3 people that were behind me ended up being taken care of way before me. I was fuming. waiting in line for over 30 minutes. Just ridiculous. However, they do have good products & good sales/​coupons.

This where I get my art supplies and I must give them Kudos for many years of great customer service and for the pricing of their products, fair and affordable.
Much love!

I’ve been making a scrap book so I’ve been in and out of arts and crafts stores– I have a Micheal’s around my house and they are very similar, but I prefer Hobby Lobby– it’s a little more «Mom and Pop» feeling. They are not open on Sundays but the place is nice and the employees are great!

I’m a fan of Hobby Lobby. No, I’m not a wannabe emo hipster «artist» (and I use that term loosely) but I still dig what they’ve got to offer. My boy is huge into painting, drawing, clay, whatever, and having HL nearby assures his stock stays fully loaded. The prices are reasonable and the offerings of what’s in stock and available are usually pretty good. Employees are helpful and if they don’t know the answer to your question they’ll be sure to find someone who will.

I didn’t know that they had so much crap in their stores. And I didn’t know that they are not open on Sundays? Or that the employees have to manually enter each price into the computer. They better know their sales paper! If you catch the stuff that you need on sale, it’s a big win win for you. Nice clean store and very helpful employees.

I gotta admit, as big box stores go, this is actually pretty reliable for having a decent selection of materials at excellent prices for my artistic needs. No matter where I am working in the city or outlying suburbs, if I run out of a particular brand of acrylic or oil paint, or just need a handful of new brushes, this is the very first place I look for in the area. Their weekly sales are worth checking into either in store or online, and over time, you’ll find they’re pretty cyclical. Enough so that if you need to stock up on tube paint (for instance), you’ll find that sooner or later they’ll be at 30−50% off, so it may be worth your while to be patient with your purchase.
There’s so very much to see in this store that it’s easy to get distracted. A visit that should take me ten minutes often takes me a half hour just because I keep noticing other things I think I need, but of course, don’t. Yet at these (generally) cheap prices, I usually find myself adding them to my cart, anyway.
Damn you, Hobby Lobby… Damn you for enticing me with your sorted ways!
