Very cute spot for little ones to get creative ! Had a good experience here for a birthday party

Didn't have much expectations coming here. My friend saw it on TikTok and we took our kiddos. Mine I feel was way too young to really participate. My friend's kiddo was a good age, around 3/4 to get what she was doing and appreciate it. Made reservations online since the website said it was recommended. I'm glad I did! Making reservations was very simple, didn't have to put any money down. Parking can be a little congested since it's in a plaza with other places. Walked in and was immediately greeted. Inside is really cool. The theme is all black and white, looks kind of like a cartoonish vibe, and then all of the crafts speak for themselves with colors! There was a birthday party going on in the back. No private rooms for birthday parties. They use different color cones to show your reservation and where you'll be sitting. Was told to look around the store and decide which type of craft we wanted to do. They had a lot of mediums: candles, bead bracelets, painting, mosaics, and decorating different objects with whipped cream gel and adding charms. The last one was definitely the most popular and most unique. Once you pick out your items, you go to the cashier and can either pay ahead of time or wait to pay in case you want to create something more than what you expected. We were told once we pick what we wanted to let staff know and they will tell us next steps. My daughter went with a small brush and we were then given a tray to pick out the charms that we wanted to decorate our brush. There were so many charms! All of them were included in the price but a few were only allowed to use one time once since it was a bigger charm. We were told to only pick out a few charms and can come back for more. Staff said whatever we don't use charm wise, to be sure to put it back where you got it. Unfortunately, there was so many charms, and with how busy and chaotic it was, it was really hard to put them all back. I would definitely recommend only grabbing so many. We were told you get to pick two different whipped cream gel colors. The gel when dry turns into a silicone like texture. When we were done picking our charms and gel, to let them know and they would come back to tell us how to apply and use the whipped cream gels. Unfortunately, two big parties came in and staff had no time for us anymore. We were pretty much on our own. Just winging it, which was a shame when you're spending $25 on a tiny little hairbrush to decorate and have no idea what you're doing. I think it would be better of staff to all at once just tell you what to do along with a demo how it all works rather than constantly having different touch points throughout. My friend and I winged it as much as we could. I definitely don't think we did it right. I noticed a sign that had different pipping tips for the whipped cream gel, again, a bummer we weren't told about this. The charms and beads are all along the wall and right up against the walkway and tables. So it was pretty difficult for people to try to spend time to look at all the charms, but also letting people by and also people are trying to sit in their chairs. Staff then came over and was great with apologizing for us falling to the wayside due to understaffing and the immense parties that came in. Kelly was very sweet and kind and took her time with us and taught us how to reapply the charms if we wanted to. Along with how to use the whipped cream gel. You then have to take a heat gun and dry your creation for about two minutes, but the longer you do it the better it seemed. Be sure to let your creation sit for 24-48 days to really cure. There is a bathroom that single stall in the back. We were bummed that the Photo Booth machine was down, otherwise we would've used it. When you cash out, you're supposed to turn in the receipt to show what you made. Kelly then put our items in a bag and again apologized for our experience and said coming on the weekday is a much better visit. Our reservations were at four, and we didn't think that it would be so busy, so use caution if booking on the weekends. A very cool unique craft place, that I'm sure can sustain itself with the area that it's in. We'll have to come back on a quieter day to really enjoy all that they have to offer. I would've given a 3 star, but if it wasn't for Kelly, taking the extra time with us and apologizing for our initial experience. She made the whole trip much better! read more

This is a great cafe if you'd like a wide range of crafts to do. There's many opinions such as candles, charms, piping with charms! The staff has been extremely lovely every single time I've been there. I've loved every single craft I've made, only reason I knocked down a star is because within a month to two, I have to repair the crafts due to them breaking sadly. Otherwise, it's a great experience. read more

We had a great time at DIY. It s fun little spot where kids can go and create! The only thing is, it's a little expensive. For two children it was 86.00! The items you pick out to decorate are "dollar-store" quality items, that I'm sure they didn't pay much for. Other than that, it was a nice outing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

This is a super adorable crafting shop opened next to HTea. It shares the same owners. I heard about it online and had to check it out! You can create whipped paint and charm items, tufting, make a bracelet, or paint pottery. There are so many charms and beads to choose from. The people working here were super friendly and helpful. I picked a small hair clip and my child did a small brush. I loved hand picking from all of the adorable charms and using the frosting like paint. It's a super fun experience. You can also do parties here. There was quite a few groups coming in and doing crafts. That's a great sign. I do plan on visiting again soon. My child had a great idea. Since they are connected to the tea shop next door they should offer a special, like do a craft and get a tea deal. But if you visit, it's a great way to make a day of going to tea and coming here, we did and it was a lot of fun! read more

I saw this place on Tiktok, and knew I had to come here for our Michigan trip! It was pretty busy when we went, as a birthday party was going on. I made eight hair clips and a portable mirror, and my husband made a picture frame and a candle. The workers were extremely kind and helpful, they walked us through all the steps and kept checking in with us during our crafting process. They could definitely use more hands in their shop, but I won't fault them for that. They had a very large selection of charms. If I didn't have a color scheme in mind, it would be really hard to narrow it down! Each person gets to pick two piping colors, so my husband was able to pick two different colors to use and we could mix and match with each other if we wanted. It was such a fun time, and we now have keepsakes that will last forever! read more

The price for certain items isn't correct I was charged 80 dollars for 2 mirrors and the price displayed was 20, but I already decorated said mirrors so I was forced into paying!!!, I am absolutely infuriated!!! read more

Great experience with my 8-year-old granddaughter. Of all the "cutesy" items available, she chose the mosaic lamp. It was a bit more involved than the other projects, but we worked on it together and finished in a bit more than 2 hours. I'm sure that is the most time-consuming project they have; looks like most could be completed in an hour or less. Overall, a fun experience. read more

I was extremely excited to do a decoden (or whipped gel as they called it) phone case, but unfortunately they didn't have any phone cases that would fit my phone, which is an iPhone 15 pro. The employee who was helping me was nice but suggested I use my own phone case but still pay full price?! I was very displeased by this and ended up leaving shortly after. I do not blame the employee, however, I did find them to be quite undertrained and did not seem to have much customer service experience. Besides the phone case situation, the entire studio was very cramped and not as spacious as it appeared in pictures online. One suggestion I do have is to have separate tables instead of one big table where you're essentially sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers. It definitely could've been my mistake for coming in on a Saturday, but it was extremely claustrophobic and would benefit from a different layout. I left extremely disappointed and discouraged from ever coming back. From the lack of phone case options and charms, to the poor suggestion of me using my own phone case while still paying full price, and the cramped space, I HIGHLY suggest having separate tables, ordering more stock for weekends, and offering better training. read more

I was super excited to try this place out. I seen it on TikTok and I love to craft. Unfortunately when I went it was understaffed. Only one person was running the whole place on the weekend. He was very friendly but unfortunately he didn't know where most of the products were or what the process was to make the crafts was. When we asked questions we were met with "I'm not sure "Idk" "I think..". I blame the business not the employee. He should have been properly trained and had at least one other person working with him. We paid premium prices for a service that wasn't premium. Before visiting I was planning on returning to make another craft. I only plan on returning to pick up my candle. We should have been informed that our candles should stay at the studio to properly set before transporting them so we can plan accordingly. This place has great potential if ran properly. read more
