I've only purchased mat boards here, so I've honestly never made it very far into the store, but…read morethis is my go-to place for DIY framing supplies. Pretty good prices, a decent variety of colors (not a lot of specialty colors, metallics, or textures, but plenty for basic framing jobs), and a selection of corners at a desk near the front doors so you can match up mats to your prints in clean light. Take your corner selection to the checkout desk and they'll retrieve your board for you. They also have protective plastic bags big enough to cover the sheet. They offer a teacher discount, which I always forget about, so I'm grateful that the staff asks every time! Several parking spaces in the shared lot out front and I've never found it full. Easy to get to on the left side of Beretania.

Cost is higher but this is a local store and in town so you pay for convenience. Aisles filled with everything from clay, paints, poster boards, yarn, scrapbook materials, wood and everything you can imagine. This is one of those stores you wander the aisles looking at the shelves for interesting hobbies you may want to experience. Always an interesting time walking the aisles to just look and imagine what can be created. Definitely a place to take a look at and just explore that creative part of yourself!

Lots of extras at the checkout counter for those wanting a soda or snack. Fisher Hawaii is Fine!

First off, I love this store!…read more Living on the mainland, there are so many crafting supplies that are unique to Hawaiʻi, and every time I walk into Ben Franklin Crafts, I find myself wandering the aisles thinking, "Ooh... I don't have this back home" and in goes the item in my cart. What brought me in today tho, was to support one of the local small businesses that rents a "locker" inside the store. I absolutely love this concept. Ben Franklin has created a space where local makers can showcase and sell their work, giving shoppers the chance to support dozens of independent businesses all under one roof. Honestly, if money were no object, I'd probably leave with something from every locker. The variety is incredible, and it's fun seeing all the creativity from local artisans. Whether you're a serious crafter, looking for a unique gift, or just enjoy browsing, this place is sooo dangerous... in the best way possible. It's basically a crafter's candy store, and I look forward to getting lost here every time.

After seeing BFCrafts Instagram posts and Lei-go leis made from colorful flower beads, I wanted to…read moretry out this new item. I headed down to this BFCraft store and found the beads! A wide selection of colors, however, a few of the popular colors and flowers were out of stock. The beads are light weight, flexible, and the stems may be easily cut shorter. I was happily surprised that it did not feel rough or abrasive against material or the human skin. Great for simple DIY craft projects. My first project was to create a forever lei bag charm. The flower beads are reasonably priced and affordable for crafting projects. Service was okay lol. The cashier could have shown a little more interest. No smile or thank you for coming today. Maybe it was an off day for her. Other employees were nice and helpful in finding the beads. Overall a 4.5 star experience. Rounded up to 5 stars.

Uniquely Kawaii…read more.. That's what CAS Crafts & Collectibles is, located in Pearlridge Center this little kiosk cart is filled to the brim top to bottom with all thinks kawaii not just stationaries and accessories but plushies and decor. Pearlridge Center is filled with many places anime and Kpop though here they just seem to find items that aren't found anywhere else and at such great prices what a find to see items that are so special and makes my gift giving a breeze! What a find including some Line Friends items which is just the most difficult ones to find and they have it here yay!! My bestie have apparently discovered this place which I have known for quite some time but haven't had the chance to write a review but they certainly deserve the five stars for the selection and friendly staff who points out the matching item to pair with whatever direction I'm going and that's a ten star team! Thank you!

Super cute merchandise at a kiosk in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Strolling through Pearlridge Mall, I didn't expect to see Brown and Cony, but there they were... As angels together! How can I resist? Located between TJ Maxx and Macy's, this section of Pearlridge used to be called Downtown, but now, it's Wai Makai. I wasn't going to buy anything... Really... We had just finished breakfast and had time before lunch... CAS Crafts & Collectables has so many cute items - pens, stationary, keychains, plushies, etc. I actually found Brown and Choco pillows from Line Friends (the Korean version of Sanrio). I had to get the Brown plushie for my friend's birthday next month! She'll luv it!!! I don't want to show her the Brown and Cony angel plushies... There was only one... and it was priced lower than an online store (plus - avoid paying shipping)!!! It's also better to get items from this kiosk - rather than going to Korea to buy them! Haha! Come take a look! There are unique things here! ... and service was very friendly and helpful!

Aunty Paulette & Aunty Mary Lou have a huge place in Hawaiian history, because they have…read morecontributed so much to the preservation of the talent for feather lei making. The talent and aloha of these two icon oozes out when you go and visit their shop on Kapahulu Avenue. I was first introduced to feather lei making when I used to dance hula for Na Lei Hulu I Ka Weiku. When my kumu (dance teacher) asked us to make a lei hulu (feather lei) for a dance performance, I was super dissapointed because I knew it was going to be a LOT of work. But WOW - that was perhaps one of the best things that I have ever done in my history of dancing hula. Since my first feather lei making experience, I have visited Aunty Paulette & Aunty Mary Lou almost every time I go back home to Honolulu. I always learn something new, and both are always willing to share their no'eau (knowledge) with me. I just wish one day I could have a small percentage of their talents. They are not only knowledgeable on making lei hulu, but they know a LOT about Hawaiian history, the protocol for Hawaiian culture, and people who have influenced the development of the Hawaiian culture. The store is a nice and cozy little store. The store offers very reasonable and very unique feathers to make leis. Feathers from the goose, to the rooster, to the peacock, to peasant, etc are all in the store ready for your selection. Prices are very reasonable, and Aunty is always willing to give you a quick tip or hint if you ask. There are several ready-made lei hulu for sale in a display case - made by the aunties and their haumana (students). My favorite thing in the store is the royalty cape made purely of yellow and red feathers. It's one of Aunty Mary Lou's most famous masterpieces! Aunty Paulette & Aunty Mary Lou - mahalo nui loa no kou no'eau. Nunui ka hau'oli au no kou makana mai ia'u. Malamalama.
