Brand New Michaels Store in Frisco Texas

This past Thursday Staci and I attended a fun sneak peek of the new Michaels Store coming to Frisco. This brand new Michaels store in Frisco is located near the North Dallas Tollway and Eldorado Parkway. With all the local buzz, this new location is going to be the place to be for local crafters. The Grand Opening is Sunday, April 12th, at 10am.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 9:45 a.m. and doors open at 10 a.m. Michaels will be giving away more than $1,500 in gift cards and prizes throughout the day. In addition, customers can win items for the whole family from the plinko prize board, which includes jewelry, art supplies, stickers and more. On Saturdays kids can explore their creativity with $2 Kids Club crafting events that continue all year long.

• The kids and tweens department inspires creativity through a vast selection of craft supplies and activity kits, plus everything needed for creating A+ school projects.
• The art supplies area includes an expanded canvas selection and fine art papers with more shapes and larger sizes, more than 230 brushes and a broad selection of acrylic, oil and watercolor paints, drawing pencils, pastels and easels.
• Custom framing features an open-style work area that encourages a hands-on design experience, with expert framers to help select mats and mouldings for all styles and budgets.
• Get fresh inspiration while mastering new skills with Michaels’ variety of classes. Cake classes cover basic design as well as advanced techniques for fondant and gum paste. Crafters can put their spin on the latest jewelry trends with jewelry making classes working with a variety of styles and techniques. Paper crafting classes show how to make cards, banners and even wreaths like a pro. New yarn classes run the gamut from simple arm-knit scarves to intricate crocheted animals.
