While it's not like the big craft stores on the mainland it does carry a nice line of yarns. During the pandemic I would buy a lot more skeins because my projects were bigger. Now I'm finding my supplies have dwindled and I'm back picking up more yarn but for smaller projects. I've started making leis which is actually a crocheting craft but pleasurable nonetheless. They also offer a myriad of classes for everything from jewelry making to lei making and it's amazing to see the number of men in the mix. Good for you guys! Crafting is a great may to focus on something that is relaxing and fun. Got to be a reason so many do it. There's quite a selection of items for baking, scrapbooking, framing, painting, floral arrangements and believe it not making fishing lures. Yep my grandson is always in here buying stuff to make his lures with. This business is in the Mapunapuna area with a parking lot fronting the store.

Always loved Flora-Dec but now I know they can be an event lifesaver! Thank you again, Alden. (P.S. next time, I'll actually bring you some bacon)

For the easiest experience, make a reservation the day before over the phone. It's a small shop and…read moreseats are limited to ~16 people at full capacity. Even if some seats *are* open, most chairs will be used as spacers for the comfort of guests. You get 2 hours to paint and it takes 5 weeks to process. The owner is inflexible and abrasive but it's a local shop, not Disneyland. Total price adds up quickly when you get multiple pieces to paint. I've painted pieces over the years, and still regularly use them. This is a reliable establishment to make something nice for yourself or a loved one. It'd be better if they took online reservations through a third party. Few people would be comfortable giving their card details over the phone to a stranger. It's common sense not to. Maybe another kiln would be helpful, too.

While the selection cannot compare to their flagship store, there are still plenty of foam flowers here at an incredible deal. Foam flowers and accessories are pretty much what they specialize in, and they do it very well. I think their most popular items may be the six for $5 foam flowers found on the shelves at the entrance. You can mix and match between different sizes and colors. Fantastic deal for great gifts that are extremely easy to pack and won't break the wallet. To get to this outpost location, enter the Waikiki International Market Place from Kalakaua. Look towards the little storefronts on the righthand side, and it should be a few stores in from the street.

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.

Located inside a small plaza near Ala Moana (Piikoi st.) They share a private parking area with Cho Dangs Honolulu and Nijiya Market. They have a wide variety of items that changes constantly and something new available at the shop. Once you set your eyes on something rare, I recommend buying it instead of waiting because I guarantee you it will not be there the next time you visit. I also advise that the store can get really expensive because these are mostly imported goods from Japan. So spend wisely! Sales and discounts are also provided, but on rare occasions. The employees are also very helpful and nice. They will support your purchase just not your wallet (lol).

First of all, there's plenty of parking at the entrance and to the side of the building. If you're an educator, grab a shopping cart on your way in, but pause at the enlarged "What's on Sale" multi-page flyer at the front door, which changes every month. Upon entering the store, you face Customer Service and Check out lines. Once you get the attention from the pro in Customer Service, you find someone with tenure, knowledge, and helpfulness. She was quick to steer me into a hidden Clearance section where I had fun looking at and picking up stuff! I picked up a beautiful Howard Miller wood clock for my Dad's office What I really enjoyed was going through the greeting card section looking for the perfect message and sense of humor! I couldn't believe some of the prices of the American Greetings - $1? And an entire section for $1.49 each card / any card? Why not write a personal message to someone you care for vs. a text? Besides their huge assortment of pens/writing instruments, the card section is my 2nd favorite spot in the store!
