 1. Dollar It!

297 Bank St
Ottawa, ON K2P 1X7
(613) 235-0001
4.0 star rating
  Update - 1/8/2011

Since the holidays are now over, and I know longer need to worry about all of the last-minute details, I'm actually quite thankful that Dollar It was there. On a day-to-day basis, it's usually a toss up if I'll find what I need here, but during the…More »

    I came in here looking for one thing - a soap dispenser. The store is huge - a whole 2 floors! Funny… Read more »

Ottawa, ON K1N 9H7

3.0 star rating

I think I might have a love-hate relationship with Giant Tiger. Sometimes the things I find in there are just garbage - no nice way to put it. Other times I can find such awesome little things for so cheap, and I walk out totally happy with only…More »

(613) 230-1313
4.0 star rating

The Papery is like a candy store for creative types! For lack of a better description, the place is just pretty. They have scrapbooking paper and stickers, cards, stationary, wrapping paper, pens and markers, strings and ribbons, decorations, gifts,…More »

If you've ever been to Things Engraved, Personally Yours is the exact same thing. It's even the same company, with the same website, products, and services, but with a different name. This one is located on the third floor of the Rideau Centre,…More »

 5. The Sassy Bead Company

757 Bank St
Ottawa, ON K1S 3V3
(613) 567-7886
4.0 star rating
  11/20/2010

My mom would take me here all the time as a kid. I would make bracelets and braid hair with beads and this was one of my favourite stores. I was just here a few weeks ago and it hasn't changed much since. They still offer a wide selection of beads -…More »

4.0 star rating

This place is huge! It has pretty much every possible art supply I could even want or imagine, from paper and canvases, to pencils and paints, to cutters and instructional media. They also offer demonstrations for various arts and crafts projects.…More »

 7. Wallack's

603 Bank St
Ottawa, ON K1S 3T4
(613) 238-8871
3.0 star rating
  11/19/2010

Just like all of the Wallack's stores, you can find a ton of great art supplies for all of your projects. The main problem I find with this specific location is that I don't believe it's fully accessible. They offer so many supplies that I find the…More »

3.0 star rating
  12/10/2010 First to Review

I'm not the biggest art buff, but I definitely appreciate places like this. Most people are familiar with the Wallack's Art Supplies stores, but Wallack Galleries are totally different. When passing by, I assumed that they only showed works of art,…More »
