Top Hobby stores in Jacksonville, United States

Just want to give a shout out to Vince in the framing department. I needed professional help transferring a new National Park art poster into an existing custom made frame that I had as part of a set of 12 frames. Normally, I would try to handle something like this on my own but since the previous piece of artwork that was in the frame had been professionally installed and the back of the frame had been professionally papered and wired for hanging, I wanted the new piece of artwork installed and finished the same way, therefore I wanted a professional to do this for me. I expected to have to leave my project at the store and retrieve it in a few days. Vince said it was a quick, easy task and that he had a few minutes and could take care of it right away. Within 5 minutes, he cleaned the glass in the frame, inserted the new artwork, put fresh backing paper on the frame to professionally finish the framing, and rewired it for hanging! The entire time he was friendly and casually chatted with me from his workroom while he went about his business. I couldn’t be more please with the quality of his work, the expediency of it, and his friendly “can do” nature. Thanks, Vince! Next time I have custom framing needs this is where I will return! (Please note, depending on how busy the framing department is with new and existing projects, you should expect to leave your project with them for a few days. I just got lucky and hit it on a day where my quick project could be handled while I waited, instead of having to leave as I was expecting I would have to do.)

Always get coupons at Michael's store and lots of great stuff to buy. Thank you.

After popping into Target, I came into this store to purchase some candle wicks. I didn’t spend as much time as I normally do, looking at everything and once I found the item I wanted in the back, made my way to check-out. There was one employee in the check-out area who kept staring at me but didn’t say anything so I asked if their self-checkout was running since she didn’t indicate that she would be checking me out or anything. Nothing. I go pass her to use self-checkout. She stood by me as I purchased my ONE item and stared me down. I ignored it and left because I really wanted to complete my candle project. Maybe I was overly sensitive after my experience at Target but if you are gonna stare me down while I check-out, why not just check me out? Since I had items in my cart from Target and I’m darker than a saltine cracker, I made sure to keep my ONE purchase in my hand so I wouldn’t receive this kind of treatment. I couldn’t shake the feeling of my experience and returned a few moments later to return the item to the employee who could have checked me out. She was all smiles checking out another person when it was my turn at the counter. This confirmed that her demeanor had only been towards me and I had been right to feel the ick. Her eyes indicated she remembered me.

There is a way to do things discreetly but if you were really worried about me stealing, maybe check me out next time or don’t have self-checkout. How creative can someone get with candle wicks at $3.99, really? I wanted to support the craft store versus buying my craft project items from Walmart or online but after my experience, I’m not stepping foot in this building.

In all my years walking through the aisles of Michael’s, I have never experienced anything like this. My goal with this posting is to help others not experience what I did (leaving in tears) and spend their money where it is actually wanted and appreciated.

Cheryl & the framing team did a fantastic job on framing 3 autographed jerseys (2 football & a basketball) & even helped with my customization requests including adding some cards & stitching them in! She even recommended some clearance materials to help keep the cost down! There was no rush but I kinda wanted them before the Super Bowl & she delivered! She definitely underpromised & Overdelivered! Will definitely see Cheryl & the team for All my framing needs in the future & highly recommend!!

This , Michaels has a very extensive selection of craft products as you might expect. The choices are, however, almost overwhelming, If you are not knowledgeable, because, unfortunately, there were only two staffers: one at the register and one in the framing department, and that's it. A store this big Should have at least two or three more so I bought a lot less than I had hoped to get because I just couldn't get any guidance

Loved customer artist helping me with paint tube selection. No pressure shopping in store. Wonderful place. Just wish they had 3x5 foot canvas I could buy for my sister in Sterling, Va. so she can paint! Here's what I can do with Michael's art supplies.

Michael's is like the Walmart of craft stores. I really didn't expect to spend that much but it's worth it especially with the coupons and sales. My mind goes on a crafting creative binge and I have to peel myself out of the store. There has NEVER been a moment that the staff lacks the knowledge of the location of a product. This Michael's is my happy place.

Omg. Michaels added fabric by the yard to this store and a bunch of sewing notions. Thread. Quilting cutting rulers and mats. Bobbins. Great quilting pins. I have their app so I got 20% off a quilting frame for hand quilting. So glad to not have to go all the way to town center. Some of the same stuff is at walmart on beach...but not nearly this selection.
