The Complete Guide to Hobby Lobby Felt: Types, Sizes, and Best Uses
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Hobby Lobby splits its felt inventory across two separate store departments. The discrepancy confuses first-time shoppers. In the basic kids' crafts and notions aisle, you will find wire baskets stuffed with 9x12-inch pre-cut acrylic craft felt sheets. These run between $0.39 and $0.59 each and span dozens of colors, from muted earth tones to neon primaries. This section also holds specialty variants: peel-and-stick adhesive back felt, glitter-infused synthetic sheets, and chemically treated stiffened felt.
The second, often overlooked location resides at the fabric cutting counter. Here, Hobby Lobby stocks heavy felt fabric bolts measuring a massive 72 inches wide. Buying felt by the yard from these bolts gives crafters continuous, uncreased yardage designed for table runners, tree skirts, photo backdrops, and large-scale architectural projects. The cost per square foot drops substantially at the cutting counter, averaging $5.99 to $8.99 per yard before sales discounts. For large projects, buying from the bolt prevents the visible seam lines that ruin work assembled from smaller precuts.
