Best arts and crafts stores in KL

A one-stop spot for creative types, Craft Haven is – wait for it – a craft heaven. Snag accoutrements for your sewing, scrapbooking and other indoor DIY projects, and go forth for beads, fabric, paper, sculptures and stencils (for ceramics, glasses and wood).

The travel journal supply store and workshop space provides a few tables where one could do journaling in peace. We really like the impressive collection of stickers, postcards, rubber stamps, writing supplies, washi tapes (one of the most updated and largest collections in KL), travel-size watercolours, and everything a stationery fiend would appreciate.

Craftiviti scores big on crafts. Think supplies for candle-, jewellery- and soap making, as well as decoupage, glass staining materials, papier-mâché, silkscreen painting, woodwork and many more. To top off, there’s an in-house 3D printing service.

The Singaporean chain is known among fledgling Picassos and Pollocks for its wellrounded, vast selection of art supplies. Its stock of beadings, clays, Copic markers, felt, rubber stamps and other crafts supplies makes it a must-visit for homebodies and hobbyists too.

Spotlight takes the spotlight with its shelves of arts and crafts tools and supplies. Knit in peace with its fabric and knitting supplies; and beyond beads, needles and yarns, there are also accessories for calligraphy and painting, as well as kits for bag making, cake decorating and jewellery making.
