BJ's Craft Supplies began in 1985 as a small booth in a flea market in the Texas Rio Grande Valley, using the family livingroom as a warehouse. As the business grew BJ's daughter began to help and the online portion was launched in 1994, where we have become the craft supply business you see today.
