Michaels

Nice and friendly staff. They have pretty much every craft covered. I enjoy the seasonal selections and the $ 1 section. The $ 1 section has blank greeting cards/​thank you notes, stationary, and other fun, random gifts. There are usually some good clearance and sales going on. This is in an area with a lot of businesses and restaurants in the area so after craft shopping, knock out a bunch of errands and grab a quick bite to eat!

Do not ever go to Michael’s for their framing scam. There are many wonderful local places who don’t charge $ 600 for framing, with a, «get 50% off». If you want to throw away money for quick framing and inexperienced staff than this is the place.
I’m getting disappointed by a few of the store locations atmosphere and selections as well. Though they do have some good baskets.

An ok craft store — one in which I find myself lost in finding the exact thing I need owing to the large selection of items. Michaels has always been that way for me. They carry everything you need whether your hobby is scrapbooking, découpage, needlepoint, knitting, etched glass, or beadwork among all the other likely things. It’s easy to spend more time than you have and more money than you want here.
Despite having something for everyone, I still find Michaels difficult to navigate for finding that one item for starting or finishing a project. In addition, I find it a bit more pricey than other places of the same ilk, but having everything in one spot gives it an edge. During seasonal clearance, you can really find some good deals on stock they’re trying to clear. I’ve found some great Christmas clearance items as late (or as early) in the year as July and August. Overall, this chain has been around for years and really knows how to stay up on the trends. I like this store for giving me ideas and a broad overview of what is available, but unless it’s something unique, I can do better elsewhere for pricing.
