Spooky Halloween Crafts - Fun for Everyone!

Hey kids! There's always something new and spooky here at Ben Franklin in Monroe! If you're as excited as we are about Halloween, then why not decorate with some festive Clothespin Characters. These clothespins are available in a variety of sizes and are ready to be transformed with your creativity! A Wicked Witch, Vicious Vampire, and Creepy Frankenstein are just a few of the wonderful ideas and possibilities for this craft. Let your imagination run wild and enjoy creating your very own spooky crafts. Happy Halloween from Ben Franklin!

Fall For Beads

Fall is my favorite time of the year mostly because of the great colors. Browns, golds, reds they are not only beautiful leaf colors, but also bead colors. We have some brand new 16" strands of jaspers, agates and lots more. What's even better we have them on sale. For a limited time buy one strand from our Fall for Beads table and get another strand of equal or lesser value for 50% off!
