A.C. Moore Arts and Crafts

This location is just average.
Definitely doesn’t compare to the nearby Dedham or Bellingham AC Moore stores though.
It’s not like I’ve ever had a problem at this location (only visiting it a few times), but more the fact that the overall store is much more gloomy and dark than the others and that this location seems smaller with less «stuff». Checkout hasn’t ever been a problem, and the staff are consistently friendly, but I definitely have a better experience at Michaels across the street or at AC Moore in Bellingham or Dedham.
This location is just ok. Hopefully it will be renovated with better lighting and a better overall layout in the upcoming months.
Located on Route 9, on the Natick /​Framingham town line, inside Shoppers World. Accessible via Route 30 (Cochituate Road), and multiple entryways from Route 9 (Worcester Road), both past the Natick Mall. Located in the far back of the plaza, next to DSW Shoes.
All in all, 4 stars.

A. C Moore has some of the best deals when it comes to custom framing. We received a 55% off with an additional 10% off coupon for custom framing in the mail and decided to head to A. C Moore. The print that we brought with us was fairly large, so we knew the original amount was going to be high.
The woman who worked with us was super helpful and had great suggestions. I am totally a Type A personality who needs to match wood frames to furniture and finishes and once I am set in my way I can’t see another option. The woman who was helping us suggested a totally different frame with a different texture that I was not originally excited about. Once she started talking about the texture and how that frame matched better with the colors in the print, I was on board with her vision. Internally I was still unsure but figured «hey she is the framing expert».
We paid for our custom framing, signed over the waver and went on our merry way. The original price without discount was about $ 560, with the coupons the total came to $ 225 which is a great deal on a large print!
Two weeks went by and we received a call that the framing was completed, we picked it up the next day. The frame looks wonderful and we are super happy with the discount we got. The custom framing staff was wonderful to work with from drop off to pick up.
If you are thinking of doing custom framing, I would definitely recommend coming here but wait for one of their great coupons!

I frequently come here for items that I want to use w my current craft project. Hours later, I leave w numerous items for use w a brand new crafting project. Whenever I’m in AC Moore my creativity wraps its fingers around my wallet.

This place has a wicked good selection of everything for crafts and hobbies. All the areas are clearly marked where to find certain items, paints, wood working and so on. The only thing I’ll be a negative Nancy on is the staff. Maybe it was just me, maybe not but what a bunch of miserable F’s.

It’s like a nicer Building 19/​Christmas Tree Shop! tons of stuff and a LOT more organized. Plenty of shoppers world parking.
Framing, seasonal, stickers, scrapbooks, activities, coloring books, toys, crafts, yarn, sewing, candles, flags, baskets… that’s all I can remember at the moment.
I found a book of 400 stickers for $ 1, woo!

If you go here, I recommend you plan ahead. Don’t lose that list, and research the products you are unfamiliar with, because no one is going to help you, or look you in the eye until you reach the register. Get what you need, wait patiently — only one register is open — and get the heck out. I usually come in here for the basics, with the coupon it’s a bargain. I also enjoy dragging my boyfriend in here, to watch him suffer from sensory overload. Sorry, honey.

With Michael’s across the street, you would think that the employees would be friendlier. Some of the people there obviously hate their jobs. Good merchandise and prices (assuming you use a coupon) BUT THE CASHIERS ARE HORRIBLE.

What is not to love about this place. It is like Target, you leave with may more then you wanted walking in. I am an avid scrapbooker, so if I need supplies I go there, though they don’t carry super high-​end stuff with their moderate price points.
My son always finds a craft he can do, and if we are making holiday kid cards, or holiday chocolate pops, this is where we go. I hit this area alot, and always go to their website for a 50% off coupon if I know I need something. I wish they would scan barcodes from smartphones, but they aren’t there yet.
My son loves Thomas the Train, and we have purchased quite a few items there, but they really jack up the prices compared to other stores, so you need that coupon to make it worth your while.
The staff is really nice, and they are very patient with some rather fussy people I have been behind in the checkout line.
All in all, love AC Moore. I could spend so much time, and so much money there!

Tremendous amount of yarn and knitting supplies. Blows Joann out of the water.
Scrapbooking section is good, lots of crafts for kids and seasonal stuff.
They give you a coupon for the following week every time you go– huge plus!
Usually a little bit of a wait to check out, but noting horrible.
It seems a bit squishy in there, but they just have so much stuff, I figure.
Staff is pretty helpful In directing you where to find something. I have had one person point me in the direction, one take me to it and hand it to me, and another not even look up as she continued on with what she was doing, as she gave me a quick «I don’t know». But that is the exception, not the rule, as I have experienced.

Was just like all the other AC Moores I encounter, but I just dont get it… You are located in a MAJOR BUSY shopping area & I come at 5pm on a Saturday evening & you have 1 register open… I just dont get it…
They were also having 50% frames day so I was psyched I got a deal, just irritated that the 1 register was open & the kid working it was a goof!

Need a gift for a kids party? Go to AC Moore.
They have lots to pick from.
Crafts
Paints
Games
Tshirts
We got 4 different small projects for the kids to make home made presents for less than $ 10.
Go and walk around and you’d be surprised how many cool ideas, fun and easy ideas come to mind.
Along the register are usually $ 1.00 items that make good stocking stuffers, thinking of you gifts for a teacher, coworker, etc.
Plenty of parking in a big easy access lot.

While I do enjoy their sales, you don’t enjoy much if you don’t get their coupons so look for them ahead of time. Decent scrap booking supplies, which is why I go but nothing out of the ordinary. They fare better than Jo-Ann’s down the street but check out/​customer service is a bit of a joke. I had to show the manager how to use a Visa gift card after the cashier couldn’t figure it out.

I go for the scrapbooking stuff. Decent selection. Wait for the sales or find a coupon online.
Usually too crowded and makes me want to get in and out as fast as I can.
The checkout lines are too long and the clerks seem to hate their jobs.

i’m getting married. so far, the most alarming effect has been the regularity with which i find myself trolling the aisles of ac moore. i feel like a crackpot stalking around in here. what am i doing here for the third time this month? *WHAT?* i should be out having a vodka martini somewhere, not hovering here comparing one flipping doily with another! i’m sick in the head.
i move towards the paint section and narrowly escape being run over by a sprightly 80 year old lady, barreling towards the knitting aisle with her cart. housewives frantically rush about in their 15 minutes of freedom between soccer practice and dinner time, their arms laden with glitter and hot glue guns, their eyes darting to and fro disconcertingly. on aisle 5 a screaming 4rth grade girl is gyrating violently and brandishing her tiny fists in hopes of inducing her mother to purchase a hot pink boa for her. a sweaty, shifty, portly fellow with sunglasses is glancing nervously this way and that and drifting ever nearer the tiaras on aisle 3. he knows he wants one.
rapidly gathering my doilies and rubber cement, i move towards the checkouts, only to discover a line the length of tennessee. at any given time, morning, noon, or night, this store is always full, and always understaffed. there are people out there that need their glitter and they need it now.
don’t go if you’re in a rush. this framingham ac moore needs to do more hiring… on the other hand, this location is a pretty good one. i’ve never really gone looking for something i didn’t find– yarn, picture frames, wooden boxes, creepy men, ribbon– they have quite a bit.
LET’S MAKE LUMINARIES AND PAPER DOLLS AND PUT GLITTER ON STUFF!

OMG! i was just here on Saturday for wifey to pick up a cupcake cake pan for 40% off, some gift boxes and ribbon. i guess it was a good deal, but this place was a complete clusterf**K! the checkout lines were survival of the fittest however sports loving guy (me) is way stronger then craft seeking old woman (more then likely you if you are reading this) so i won!
good deal, big headaches. oh and for some reason the registers never pick up the upcs on the first 12 tries.
happy happy joy joy!

Agree with all of the above; but as a MALE, need to add the parking situation can be ‘fierce’; don’t get in the way of the families or craftswomen for that one spot.
Also, the dollhouse accessory aisle is not bad. not the FAO schwartz on lexington st, but very nicely rounded selection. The Cir-​kit electrical dollhouse selection is thorough. And the cashiers are nice.

Great store, the best in my 14 years of experience. The yarn section is OK, not that impressive — you can find a better choice on eBay and in other online stores. Their bead section is great, paper craft section is quite interesting, prices are affordable, and a weekly 40% coupon make them even better. Highly recommend this store.

Definitely better than its competitor, Michaels. Prices are cheaper and if you sign up for their mailing list online, you’ll get an email coupon for 40%, sometimes 50%, off almost every week. Don’t miss the midnight madness sales either. The store layout is also much easier to find things.
Megan is right on target with their yarn selection and scrapbooking section. This is also a great place to get favors/​crafts/​decorations for baby and bridal showers.

The prices are a bit higher than what a Texan would be willing to pay for arts and crafts (but then again, I don’t think a Bostonian has the afinity for corn cob dolls as those in the Bible Belt). I can get everything I need here: brushes and paints for any medium with great sales on canvases, a large variety of yarns and knitting needles, huge selection of frames for stupidly low prices (2 for $ 7 for 8×10s), surprisingly extensive collection of papers and stickers for scrapbooking, and a whole corner devoted to unfinished wood products (which are currently 50% off). Sales are frequent here and although I have a huge bag full of craft supplies which i fully intended on using (but have not even bothered to unpack), you can fully expose your more creative side. Let your imagination sprint and plan to spend at least an hour perusing through silk foliage, cookie cutters, and feather boas.
