There’s nothing worse than stocking up on scrapbooking supplies only to find them on sale the very next week. So knowing the Hobby Lobby sale schedule is a big help when it comes to getting the best prices. And when you can save anywhere from 30% - 90% on regular prices, it’s a no-brainer.
Fabric, picture frames, wedding items, and home decor are some of the best things to buy at Hobby Lobby, and you can find sale prices on all of them more than once a month. While some departments at Hobby Lobby (like furniture) are always on sale, others switch off every other week — and the items included aren’t always the same. Plus, Hobby Lobby has seasonal clearance sales throughout the year.
That’s why one of the best Hobby Lobby savings hacks is to learn the ins and outs of their weekly ad and annual sales cycle. While the Hobby Lobby sale schedule isn’t as easy to predict these days, we've uncovered some patterns to help you plan your shopping trips around the savings.

Recurring Hobby Lobby Sales: Check the Hobby Lobby Weekly Ad
Hobby Lobby releases a new weekly ad every Sunday (though stores are closed that day), and all the discounts in the ad are available to shop Monday through Saturday.
The first thing you gotta know is that while Hobby Lobby’s weekly ad is different each week, items in certain departments, like Home Decor and Crafts, are always on sale. But this doesn’t mean all items in those departments are discounted year-round. The on-sale items may change from week to week, but you can always expect sale prices from these departments.
Hobby Lobby Departments That Are Always on Sale
Custom Frames
Custom frames (frame only, not framing services) are always on sale for 50% off.
Bestselling Books
Books are always 40% - 50% off. These include bestselling Bibles, devotionals, gift books, and children’s books in the Bestselling Books department.
Paper Napkins and Plates
Paper napkins and plates are consistently 50% off in the Hobby Lobby sale schedule.
T-shirts
T-shirts in the Wearable Art department are also always 30% off. These include youth and adult short-sleeve T-shirts, baseball and long-sleeve T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and infant and toddler T-shirts.
Furniture
Console tables, nightstands, shelves, stools, you name it — Hobby Lobby furniture is always on sale for 30% off.
Paint Supplies
Painting supplies are always on sale, but Hobby Lobby switches between the Art Sale and Art Supplies each week, both of which are 40% off. The Art Sale definitely has a better selection of on-sale items than Art Supplies, but the good news is, you can always buy paint from Hobby Lobby for 40% off. The Art Sale includes a selection of Master’s Touch and Fine Touch paint and supplies, while the 40% off Art Supplies discount includes 16-ounce bottles of Tempera paints. Plus, super value paint canvas packs are always 35% off their marked price.
Paint-by-Number Kits, Unfinished Craft Wood, Modeling Clay, and More Crafts
Hobby Lobby Crafts are always 40% off, but the items listed change every other week. Hobby Lobby usually switches between these two lists of craft categories each week, so you’ll always find one or the other on sale:
Crafts 1: 40% off every other week
Modeling Clay (oven-bake and air-dry) — includes Sculpey, Fimo, Crafter’s Collection, and more
Perler Kits and Beads — includes licensed kits, bulk beads, pegboards, and more
Candle Wax, Candle Gel, Soap Blocks, and Bases
Children’s Activity Kits
Paint and Pencil by Number Kits
Diamond Art Kits
Fuzzy Posters (priced at $4.99+)
Crafts 2: 40% off every other week
Unfinished Craft Wood $4.99+
Glitter and Glitter Glue
Mosaic Tiles, Gems, Chips, and Stones
Leather and Leather Kits $4.99+
Hobby Lobby Departments That Are on Sale Every Other Week
If one of the following isn't on sale when you shop, just wait a week. You'll find it in the next weekly ad.
Wall Decor and Table Decor
The Home Decor department at Hobby Lobby is always 50% off, but the sale switches between wall decor and table decor each week. So in the weekly ad, you’ll find a list of wall decor items on sale one week and a list of table decor items the next. It’s almost always the same list of items that get marked down for each category. So if mirrors and clocks aren’t on sale right now, you can count on them for next week.
Floral Stems, Bushes, Arrangements, Garlands, Wreaths, and Swags
Hobby Lobby florals go on sale for 40% off every other week (it used to be 50%), and the same items are always listed (stems, bushes, arrangements, garlands, wreaths, swags, potted trees and plants, dried naturals). The sale excludes seasonal florals, custom designs, or items labeled “floral accents.”
Gift Wrap and Gift Bags
Gift wrap and gift bags are 50% off every other week. These include paper craft and gift bags as well as rolled gift wrap.
Cake Decorating
All items labeled Sunny Side Up Bakery, including cake, cookie, and cupcakes essentials are 40% off every other week.
Yarn and Fabric
Hobby Lobby yarn and fabric by the yard go on sale every other week, but never at the same time. Their sale schedule switches between 30% off yarn (including all Artiste Floss & Threads) and 40% off fabric by the yard each week.
Cricut Products and Other Paper Crafts
Hobby Lobby puts tons of paper, pens, pads, stickers, and scrapbooking essentials on sale twice a month. All Paper Crafts labeled The Paper Studio and The Happy Planner are 40% off every other week. In the weeks between, select Cricut machines are on sale for 30% - 40% off.
Sewing Ribbon, Trim, and Tulle Spools
Hobby Lobby gives the Sewing department a 40% discount every other week. This includes ribbon, trim, and tulle spools, plus scissors and rotary cutters from Fiskars and Singer. The 40% discount excludes seasonal items and tulle sold by the yard.
Wall and Photo Frames
Contrary to popular belief, Hobby Lobby photo frames aren’t always on sale. Wall frames, photo frames, shadow boxes, collage frames, and display cases get a 50% discount every other week (excluding “Your Price” items).
Note: These items are different from Hobby Lobby’s custom frames, which are always 50% off the marked price.
Other Items That Are Often on Sale (But Irregularly)
These items don't follow an every-week or every-other-week schedule, but they're on sale often. So if they're not currently on sale, just wait.
Candles, Oils, and Room Sprays
These go on sale weekly or every other week for 40% off. However, keep an eye out in stores during Hobby Lobby's holiday clearance markdowns starting in December. During Hobby Lobby's holiday clearance sale in 2024, we spotted candles included in the sale for 66% off.
Beads and Items From the Metal Gallery and Jewelry Shoppe
There are three categories that are most commonly on sale: Beads, items from the Jewelry Shoppe, and items from the Metal Gallery. They each go on sale for 50% off three out of four weeks. So they’ll be on sale for two weeks in a row, then skip a week, then go on sale for another two weeks.
KCL TIP: Even though these three categories are on sale most weeks, they aren’t always listed at the same time. Only once a month will you find all three categories on sale at once.
