SFC_Allen Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 So i did a quick search for "flocking & hobby lobby" hoping to be able to find my answer...but no such luck. My question is does anyone know where on hobby lobby the flocking is? I asked 3 sales people and they all had different answers. One said it was a holiday thing and the others just lead me around on a goose chase. I walked up and down all the isles and i know that most of the hobby lobbies are set up in the same fashion. I tried Micheals and they only had the Martha Stewart glitter stuff. I'm trying to not buy it off the internet so i can save &&&. Thanks in advance Earle
Harry P. Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I've shopped at Hobby lobby more times than I can remember, but I've never seen flocking there. I doubt they carry it. The person who told you it was a holiday thing probably thought you meant flocking for Christmas trees... you know, that "fake snow" stuff you spray on Christmas trees and windows.
Agent G Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Look for "embossing powder" in the scrapbooking isles. Your $$ will go farther than ordering it from a hobby aftermarket company online. G
Mike Kucaba Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I've bought flocking at Hooby Lobby. It's in a totally different area and comes in big bottles by a company named Plaid.They also have a tinted adhesive for most of the colors offered. If you want a online source, google Donjer Products. They are Flocking crazeee

Kit Basher Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Don't know if you have Ben Franklin stores in your area, but I found a nice selection of embossing powders there.
Big Daddy Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 In my opinion it's cheaper online, i get mine from modelexpress.net they have about 10 colours ,my local micheals has it but it's 5.00
Erik Smith Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Michael's and Hobby Lobby sell embossing powder in the stamping section. You can also find flocking at Michael's in the same general area - not in the model section. The Hobby Lobby here doesn't sell flocking, though.
ROB213 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) try this seller on ebay, he has all kinds of colors and super cheap! i buy from him any time i need some, it works great! http://myworld.ebay....sid=p4340.l2559 p.s. if he hasent got the color you want, contact him on there and he can get it Edited February 18, 2012 by ROB213
GrandpaMcGurk Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) The Michaels here in Ocala Fl. carries the Martha Stewart glitter stuff but they also have flocking in 4oz. containers The label says "Recollections Flocking Powder". The label on the back says distributed by Michael's Stores, Inc. I just picked up some black, white, blue and Walnut. Nada at Hobby Lobby. I had to ask a salesperson but they found it.

Mike Kucaba Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Mike, where area of the store is it in? I've never seen it. It's been a while,but I thought it was the craft paint aisle
Jon Cole Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Embossing powder, purchased from Michaels.
SFC_Allen Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Guys, wow thanks for all the responses. Seems i've been asking about the wrong item and might have more luck using "embossing powder". At least now i have a few different places to find it online also. Thanks again Earle
Custom Mike Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Earle, look in the "Stamping" section of either Hobby Lobby, AC Moore or Michaels and you should find it. As far as kit selection, good luck with Hobby Lobby there in Fayetteville, their selection has always been light. If you want a good selection, try Hayes Hobby House on Elm Street (In the Eutaw Shopping Center on Bragg Blvd). Talk to Mike Starling, he's the model guru, and a heck of a good guy. Tell him Mike sent ya and see if he gives you my 10% off discount! Edited February 19, 2012 by Custom Mike
Cory22 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Today at micheals i got actual flocking powder in black and tan on clearence for 2.99 for 13grams
SFC_Allen Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Never knew Hayes carried it there. I've asked a few questions a few times and seems like I was asking to much and was bothering them, so now I just go and get what i need and leave. If they have it i get it..if not i find another source. I don't know maybe it was bad timing those few days. VR Earle
crazyjim Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Save the gas and get Ken's Fuzzi Fur from Scale Dreams.
Junkman Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Save the gas and get Ken's Fuzzi Fur from Scale Dreams. That's where I have most of mine from. Actually, you don't really need that many shades, since flocking can be mixed very well. Those are shades I mixed myself: Edited February 20, 2012 by Junkman

VR Earle Look for Mike, he's almost always on the left side of the store, but he's off on Thursdays. The RC guys in there will give you that look until they get to know you. Heck, I've been going there for nearly a decade and they still look at me funny. Maybe it's because I don't but their expensive toys, who knows. Mike carries a bit of flocking, but you'd do better getting it from Hobby Lobby or Michaels, it's cheaper there too.
jerseyjunker1 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 don't know if this is what you are looking for but you can try this http://www.ebay.com/itm/250312655532?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I was in Michael's on Sunday and they had this on clearance for $1.79! I bought two bottles of the black and figure I have plenty of flocking for awhile now! I found it in the scrapbooking section right near all of the glitter and stamps.
