Norma’s Arts and Crafts Supplies

So nice & helpful!

The owner is so helpful and charming. It’s nice to see a real arts and crafts store near by. Lots of different things to choose from and you can even get some very valuable advice. Great find in Brooklyn!

This store was a great addition to the neighborhood as we needed a crafting store! No longer do we have to head out to Staten Island for crafting items.
The store has a warm neighborhood feel and the owner is very helpful. New items come in all the time. There is also an area to work on your craft and ask for help if you need it. It’s a nice shop to stop in with children and make some personalized gifts.

I just visited Norma’s for the first time tonight. I’m happy to find a craft store right here in my neighborhood.
They seem to fit a lot of product into the small store. The two employees (owners, I think?) were available to help when I needed it, but were not overbearing at all. The woman who rang me up steered me towards a product (acrylic/​fabric paint) that would suit my needs much better then the product I thought I needed. Hooray!
They have parties and work-​shops for kids and adults – I think some of these might even be drop-​in work-​shops.
While I was there, quite a few return customers/​regulars passed through. They were all greeted by name. Remember the last time you shopped at Duane Reade or Target and were warmly welcomed back and greeted by name? Yeah. Me neither.
The woman who rang me up went out of her way to give me some tips on the project I’m undertaking, which is yet another reminder of why I like to spend my hard earned dollars at Bay Ridge’s small businesses. My purchase was measly, but she still made the effort.
Listen up, fellow residents: Yeah, I could’ve saved $ 2 if I’d shopped online or at Target, but I’d rather invest in my neighborhood. Small businesses offer better, individualized customer care. Let’s keep this, and other great small businesses*, in our neighborhood.
*I very highly recommend Deliso Confections, Narrows Pharmacy, Kaleidoscope Toy Store, Narrows Coffee Shop, Karam, and Tanoreen.

I would just like to say I love this store its very warm and friendly it has great customer service its just a place you must visit and get your art supplies from.

Nice neighborhood craft store. They have a large selection of paints and craft supplies. They also have a nice selection of Do it yourself crafts for children and adults. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I don’t know of any other craft stores in Bay Ridge, so it’s definitely a great store to have in the area.

What a wonderful place. I did a walk-​in art project with my little girl while using the local laundrymat. It was nice, the staff was very helpful. They are reasonably priced and have a great selection. Very happy toddler at the end of the day. :)

Such a petite but warm craft store !!!
This small business has everytype of craft item you can imagine! Yarn, beads, paint, canvas, they have it. I was looking for beads to make bracelets with niece as an arts and crafts day .They had a value pack for three dollars that had 1000 beads and yards of string. My total came to 8 bucks for a whole day of arts and craft. The husband and wife who work there are SUPER nice and really helpful. I asked a couple of questions and they never seemed bothered by my inquiries. I can not stress enough to try this store before going to a bigger chain! Their prices are good and service is excellent !

This store is conveniently located on Third Ave and has a great selection, considering its smaller size. There are great projects for children all the time and the owner is absolutely wonderful, supportive and friendly. She carries high quality art supplies at really reasonable prices. I love shopping at this place!

This is a brilliant addition to Bay Ridge, a family owned craft shop with a wonderful variety of crafting items (including YARN!) that will meet almost every need and if it doesn’t Norma will find it for you. Also for all those parents with Last Minute Lous panicking over the school project due on Monday they are OPEN ON SUNDAYS. Yeah, that’s right, their hours actually make sense. LOVE this store.

Excellent and needed addition to the neighborhood. The owners have good judgment in choosing their products. I was able to purchase quality drawing paper, craft knife and glue dots. Perfect for the DIY frames my daughter needed for her portfolio project!

Nice addition to the neighborhood! They have a small but curated stock, fun gifts for adults and kids, and they will order specialty items for you. They also wrap or have ribbon for a gift bag. They are very helpful and knowledgeable and if they are not sure about something they will look into it for you. This is a family-​owned local shop that I love supporting!

I noticed this little gem while walking down third ave one morning. the display of local artwork caught my eye. i decided to stop in a few hours later when they opened. Not to small and not to big. it was really simple just going in and getting the acrylic paint that I needed without the distraction and confusion of a girl supply store. I had the pleasure of speaking with Norma. she is a very pleasant woman — she is very supportive of the local art scene in Brooklyn. Bayridge was in need of a craft shop and Norma gave us one… thank you!

Good products. Nice stuff.
