AR Workshop is a national boutique DIY workshop franchise, and now there's a location in Kill Devil Hills. They offer instructor-led workshop classes, DIY to-go kits and events where you can make hands-on projects with a group for a party, fundraiser, baby shower or corporate event. Workshops are for all skill levels, including kids, and range from $40 to $70 for adult projects to $40 to $45 for kid projects. They provide all the tools, materials, supplies and instruction, and you can bring snacks and drinks if you'd like. Things you can make include wood projects with graphic lettering, wood boxes, custom clocks, frames, pet beds, pillows, door mats, chunky knit throws, wall hangings, holiday crafts, yard games, wedding designs and so much more. If you don't have time for DIY, they can make gifts or home decor for you. The retail boutique stocks home decor items and gifts.

Islander Flags offers a full line of decorative banners, garden flags and traditional flags including all needed poles and hardware.

Islander Flags also sells their own line of large, US made appliqued decorative flags for every time of the year. You will be surprised at the other fun and interesting items available at their store, such as outdoor rugs and mats, mailbox covers, wind chimes, garden decor and much more!

This beach road gallery is a destination for one-of-a-kind works of art. The owners, Christine and Gilbert, specialize in acrylic pours and resin art as well as woodworking and fractal burning (using 10,000 volts of electricity to create designs in wood). Their eclectic art and eccentric pieces include a wide range of must-see items — charcuterie boards, cutting boards, river tables, custom glass water pipes, candles stash jars, ash trays, key chains and so much more. Christine describes it as a cross between an old school hippie shop and a beachy gift store. Stop by and see their artworks and ask them about custom commissions.
