I purchased a custom order wreath and it turned out AMAZING! I picked out the size, some flowers and greenery, a sign and paint color, and they did the rest! It only took a few days and was super reasonably priced! Definitely worth the drive across the river!!!

I love Ben Franklin! The staff is so friendly and helpful. They were a big help during the pandemic. I love to sew and I made so many masks to donate and sell. Thank you for being open for curbside pickup. I truly do appreciate everything... And I know hundreds of people that received my masks did too! 🤗❤😷

The store always has plenty of cute gifts and crafts ideas. The staff could be a little friendlier to Shoppers when they are walking around the store. Theres nothing like having to walk past workers having a conversation without them speaking.

Nice little craft shop with a nice variety of items although most sections are small. I made jewellery and use a variety of beads but their beading section is very small. They do have a nice selection of fabrics, mostly cotton for quilting. Every employee I have met there has been extremely helpful.

A huge variety of crafting and gift items all under one roof. My main focus for shopping there is the fabric selection. There is a huge array of choices. The sale prices cant be beat, the monthly coupon is a wonderful plus, the ladies that work there provide amazing service. These ladies know how to cut fabric accurately.

Most of the normal everyday prices are higher than other craft local hobby spots, uniquely great selection, and when items are on sale or clearance you better be prepared to save big with great deals. Always smells grand. Nice employees, who will bend over backwards to help anyway possible. Every month they put out a discount coupon in local ads and or via email list

Ben Franklin Crafts in New Albany, Indiana is a great store. It has just about ant craft for adults as well as children. It also has items that are already put together if you wish to go that way. Enjoy Ben Franklin Crafts store. I always do

Review №51

Went in during their holiday open house. Evidently you had to buy tickets to do the adult crafts. Not a problem but Were walking around and watching, no one said anything to us about what we needed to do. Finally my husband asked and she told us but in a way that said she really didnt want us. What they should have done was instead of asking if we wanted some punch right way was to welcome us and either tell us or hand a flyer explaining how they were running the crafts and where to go to buy the tickets.

Good variety of arts and crafts. Have lots of painting supplies. Also a few model cars to build. They even have wood products to make your own decorations. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also have art classes to make things like wreaths. Good place to get artificial flowers for your loved ones at the cemetery.

Store is neatly laid out. They carry home decor, fabric, art supplies, wood and paper crafting items and more. Large toy section too ... sort of like a small Michaels. Join mail list for coupon of 40-50% off an item. Locally-owned!

Pricier than other craft stores, especially on decor items, but they do have a lot of neat and interesting items you dont find at bigger box stores. Great place to shop for unique gifts.

Review №63

This place is a total joke my recent visit was very disturbing I was completely ignored by the cashier who blatantly allowed another customer to just skip line with like a hundred dollars worth of clearance stuff with unknown prices when I confronted the cashier I guess the rude store manger acted like I was just a angry black female so I was treated like my money was foreign needless to say I will continue to make the drive to Clarksville to hobby Lobby or Michaels where the prices are very reasonable and the staff is unbiased and friendly

Love Ben Franklin crafts! Bought a beautiful fall poncho besides buying some craft fabric. Always find good deals! Bought a Ben Franklin tote bag for $2.99 and received 20% off on my entire purchase, with their 20% Off Last Thursday of the Month deal and I can bring my tote bag back on the last Thursday of the next month and get 20% off of my entire purchase again!

Review №71

I would not recommend anyone to have their pictures “professionally” framed here. We took two pictures we brought back from our trip to Alaska to be framed and paid in full (big mistake). I picked the framed artwork up a few days later which was wrapped and taped up so we could not see it. Once I got it home, I noticed there was a large mark on the photo (not on the frame, on the actual original hand painted artwork). I immediately took it back and spoke to the owner of their framing business, Mr. Smith (I do not remember his first name). He treated me very poorly acting like it was my fault and was like that before I brought it to him. What he didn’t realize is that I had proof that it did not look like that when I left it with him. I showed him the photo I took on my phone of the artwork (which had a plastic protective barrier) with their frame laid against it). The photo did not have any markings on it like it had when I picked it up. Mr. Smith seemed embarrassed but continuously kept saying that he had no idea how it happened. The frames were over $400 and only gave us a $50 gift card to have more frames done in the future. We will NOT be returning!

Review №74

I just called the store about my experience. The clerks at check out were very nice and told me the owner was on break. I told them I would call with my complaint and not interrupt his break. They offered to give him my phone number and the young ladies asked me if they could help and I told them a little of what had just happened back in the fabric department. I told them I would just call later and they gave me a business card. When I called to speak to Jeff Smith and asked if he had a moment. He lit into me and said he didn’t believe when I told him about the discriminatory treatment I received and basically it seemed that the ladies working back there in fabrics didn’t want me to shop, look at fabric to make up my mind what I wanted as the others were free to roam around and not social distance back there andbgo through the fabric lined up on tables. He was rude and cut me off lighting into me about it didn’t happen. I told him as he ranted at me belittling my concerns that if he has security cameras, I could give him time off receipt when I was in store. But he never acknowledged that and I repeated that I hope he has security cameras. So I see now that it’s apparent his behavior indicates they have approval to do such. He basically called me a liar, but he is the one who is a liar because he exclaimed they have NEVER had complaints and I see on this forum, there have been complaints. Never again will I step foot in that establishment. I miss the Ben Franklin in Middletown, Kentucky and the others around the country I’ve had the opportunity to shop at while traveling with the military.

Review №77

This is one of my favorite craft stores. If theres anything you need that they dont have in stock, theyll offer to order it. Staff is always friendly and helpful - especially in the fabric department! The lady that I usually see there is always great at helping me get fabric. Wish they had more available for soap and candle-making, but its not that popular of a hobby. Love the classes they offer, and they have great deals on Bag Day. Be sure to sign up for emails otherwise youll miss Bag Day and other coupons (can be inconvenient if you dont check email very often; they only send a few each month).
