Joann Stores Are Closing - We Rounded Up The 8 Best Deals For DIYers To Look Out For

If you grew up wearing homemade clothing, you probably have memories of time spent at Joann leafing through pattern books and rubbing fabrics between your thumb and index finger. Unfortunately, this sewing and crafting institution is closing the doors on all of its stores by the end of spring 2025 after over 80 years of business. As sad as this is, now's the time to swoop in and score some great deals on items like yarn, fabric, tools, paints, storage, and decor.

Sales are planned to last until May, but the sooner you jump on the savings, the better, as everything will likely be picked through. Head to the closest brick-and-mortar Joann, since the retailer is no longer processing web orders. There, you'll find lots of discounts storewide, with some items reduced to as much as 75%. While you won't be able to order up the deals online, visit the store website to see what kinds of items you might find at your local retailer. There are major savings to be had for almost every crafty hobby you can name.

Fans of fiber crafts, now is your time to stock up on yarn in any form. Whether it's cotton, acrylic, wool, or a blend, you can nab skeins for more than 50% off. There's no shortage of colors or textures available, no matter if you're a knitter, a crocheter, or just a crafting dabbler. It'll be time to bust out this yarn storage hack once you're done raiding the aisles.

If you're an avid quilter, you must get to your neighborhood Joann for your chance at discounted pre-cut and fabric yardage. It's time to stitch up a new set of cozy pillowcases or DIY a fleece blanket, as Joann stores have also slashed prices on flannel and fleece. Most of the featured fabrics are patterned, and holiday-themed options abound. Specialty material like fusible fleece and interfacing prices have also been cut drastically.

Little things like spools of thread and sewing machine needles add up, and it's always nice to have a few extra pairs of scissors. Take this opportunity to invest in sets of needles and threads in many colors, weights, and materials. Major price cuts have occurred for cutting tools as well. Shears, rotary cutters, replacement blades, and seam rippers all await you. And protect your work surfaces with many sizes of cutting mats.

Add flair to your pages with the many scrapbooking products Joann stores have reduced in price. Decorative and themed sticker prices are as much as 50% off. Even if you're not a scrapbooker, the items in these aisles might pique your interest, and the paper products are temptingly cheap. Try out cardmaking with discounted cardstock, foil sheets, and envelopes.

Dremel tools: For rotary tool users, now's your chance to snatch up some tools to help you carve or engrave, work with glass and stone, or just plain get started on the many crafts that Dremels can help you accomplish. Grab a Dremel kit for half off the usual price, and outfit it with bits and kits also for half off. Among the choice findings for less are router sets and sanding discs.

Pretty much every paint that Joann sells is at a special price, but highly versatile acrylics are especially tempting to snap up when they're cheap. Not all brands are as deeply discounted as others, but there are bargains to be had for both paint sets and individual colors. Stock up on a few favorite tints or a full set, and have a go at some acrylic pour art.

DIYers can always use more storage, right? Take advantage of price cuts on plastic lidded boxes in lots of sizes as well as compartmentalized storage for small items like beads. Plastic and natural fiber baskets are at tantalizingly low prices, as are rolling drawer units. The containers that win the lowest-price prize are ones meant for holding Christmas decor. Snag a few of these for any purpose — they don't have to actually be used for Christmas items.

Cheap Christmas stuff is not hard to find once January rolls around, but when prices are cut as much as 75%, it's time to pay attention. Holiday floral is the big ticket item, from garlands to sprays to swags. Wreaths are at mouthwateringly low prices, and keep in mind that many of these products have creative potential for all the months past November and December.
