We checked how Hobby Lobby’s picture frame prices compare to major retailers like Michaels, JOANN, and Amazon. The numbers tell a clear story about where your dollar stretches furthest.
Hobby Lobby runs a rotating 40%-off-one-regular-priced-item coupon every week, and picture frames almost always qualify. A $24.99 11×14 wood frame drops to $14.99 – undercutting the same-size frame at Michaels by roughly $6 even before factoring in their less frequent 30% promotions.
Before any coupon enters the picture, Hobby Lobby’s base prices run 15-25% lower than JOANN and Michaels on comparable frames. A basic 8×10 black metal frame lists at $9.99 at Hobby Lobby versus $13.99 at JOANN and $14.99 at Michaels – savings that add up fast when you’re filling a gallery wall with five or six pieces.
Hobby Lobby’s clearance section refreshes frequently with discontinued colors, seasonal styles, and overstock frames marked down by 50 to 75 percent. Shoppers regularly find 5×7 and 8×10 frames for under $4 – prices that Amazon basics lines rarely match without a lightning deal.
Order a single $7.99 frame online and pick it up at your local Hobby Lobby with no added shipping cost and no minimum-purchase requirement. Amazon’s free shipping threshold sits at $35, and Michaels charges a $5.99 handling fee on small online orders picked up curbside.
“A reliable choice for crafters and home decorators who prioritize accessible pricing and style variety over ultra-premium construction.”

⚠ What to watch
These frames go from flat-packed to gallery-ready without digging through a toolbox. Perfect when you want to hang a memory tonight, not next weekend.
Lightweight aluminum rails snap together at the corners with a firm press – the front-loading design skips the traditional back panel entirely.
Deep 1.5-inch interior gives shadowboxes room for medals, dried flowers, or concert tickets while the tool-free back pops open for easy arranging.
Six coordinated frames ship with a paper template for wall layout and all hanging hardware, so the hardest part is choosing which photos make the cut.
Slide the back panel off by hand, drop in your photo, and reattach – no screwdriver or small metal tabs to wrestle with.
Pre-installed easel stands and wall hooks mean you choose shelf or wall display straight out of the box, with zero extra hardware.

Staring at a dozen vacation snapshots piling up on your phone? This Gallery Solutions collage frame turns them into a finished gallery wall in about 45 minutes-no layout math, no extra trips for individual frames. The 12 pre-sized openings hold 4×6-inch prints in a clean grid, so you can slot in everything from last summer’s beach trip to a set of black-and-white family reunion candids. Hang it above a hallway…
A frame that’s too small clips your image; one that’s too large leaves awkward gaps. Hobby Lobby carries standard dimensions from 4×6 tabletop frames up to 24×36 gallery pieces, so matching your photo to the right opening takes just a few measurements.
Match the frame opening to your print’s exact size-4×6, 5×7, 8×10, 11×14, 16×20, or 24×36 inches-so nothing gets trimmed or left floating.
A 2- to 3-inch mat border around the image keeps focus on the photo while giving the composition room to breathe inside the frame.
Decide whether the frame needs to hang portrait, landscape, or square-some collage frames only work in one direction.
Measure the wall area first. A 24×36 frame needs roughly 30 inches of clear space once you include the frame profile and hanging hardware.
Standard glass is heavier and more reflective; acrylic shatters less easily but scratches if you clean it with the wrong cloth.
Shadow box frames extend 1.5 to 3 inches off the wall, useful for mementos but overkill for flat prints-check depth against your shelf or hallway clearance.
A sawtooth hanger is a small, serrated metal strip nailed into the back of the frame-it’s quick to install and works well for lightweight to medium pieces. Hanging wire uses a braided cable attached to two D-rings on either side of the frame, distributing weight more evenly and allowing slight adjustments to level the frame after hanging. For anything over 15 pounds, wire is the more secure option.
That depends entirely on the anchor type. Plastic expansion anchors typically support 10 to 25 pounds in drywall, while threaded drywall anchors can handle 25 to 50 pounds. Toggle bolts are the heavy lifters, rated for 50 pounds or more. Always check the packaging for the manufacturer’s rated capacity, and when in doubt, locate a stud with a finder for the most reliable hold.
Yes, but skip the hammer-and-nail approach. Pre-drill a small pilot hole with a masonry or plaster bit, then use a plastic anchor or a picture-hanging hook designed for plaster. This prevents the surrounding material from spider-cracking. For heavier frames, a toggle bolt distributes the load across a wider surface area behind the wall.
Standard nails and drywall anchors won’t work on masonry. You’ll need a hammer drill with a carbide-tipped masonry bit to create a hole, then insert a sleeve anchor or a concrete screw. These are rated to hold significant weight-often 50 to 100 pounds per anchor depending on the product-which makes them suitable for even the heaviest shadow box or oversized wood frame.
A level is worth the extra thirty seconds. Even a quarter-inch tilt becomes obvious once artwork is on the wall, especially in pairs or gallery arrangements. A basic 9-inch torpedo level fits in most tool drawers. If you prefer a tech option, smartphone level apps are surprisingly accurate for picture-hanging purposes.
Use museum putty or adhesive picture-hanging strips rated for the frame’s weight-these eliminate the risk of falling hardware. If you must use a nail, place the frame where it won’t be directly above the crib or a play area. Avoid glass-front frames in nurseries; acrylic glazing shatters into fewer sharp pieces if knocked off the wall.
We construct our picture frames from materials that stand the test of time-so your memories stay protected year after year.
