Happy DIY is the perfect place for a girls day activity. My bestie and I stop by and made the cutest phone cases. It was a little crowded on a Saturday afternoon but not really an issue once you're sitting down and crafting. Overall super fun and I highly recommend. All the charms are SO CUTE. read more

I've been here a few times now and I think it's a great activity for all ages! It is a bit pricy, so I recommend coming with friends so you can all get different glue colors and share instead of having to pay for more tubes. They also have a ton of items to choose from, mirrors, phone cases, pop-sockets, jewelry cases, etc. Once you pick an item the staff will explain how to use the glue and the piping tools. They have never made me feel rushed to finish or told me I had to many charms. The staff here is really great and can help you if you feel intimidated by the craft. They also have a selection of blind boxes and toys (which are honestly overpriced, hop over to You&Me for blind boxes, they sell them only a dollar above cost). Lat thing, make a reservation if you can! They don't have a ton of space and will turn people away if they run out. read more

We got here at around 1030 on Sunday and the shop would open at 11am for the general public since there was a private event happening. I came here for my birthday since I wanted to DIY a phone case :) My husband and daughter chose a clock to decorate as well. The choices of the charms are dangerous! I was able to choose 10-15 charms and two different piping charms. The employees help you with the process and piped the cream on for you. I just put the charms on and they package it up for you as well. They also have tons of collectibles to shop from and some claw machines which is fun! I thought the prices for everything is pretty fair and we had a great time :) Would love to come back and decorate other items! read more

If you're looking for a fun activity to do with the kids or just by yourself then you have to try Happy DIY. I took a trip to Philly not too long ago and decided to stop by Happy DIY to see what all they had to create. Happy DIY offers different crafts to decorate from phone cases and hairbrushes to picture frames and tote bags, just to name a few. But of course, the most popular is the phone case, which I opted to make during my visit. The young ladies walking around to assist you through the process were all really nice and helpful. Once you've selected your craft to decorate then you get to choose from a wall full of charms which was so hard to pick just a few. I loved all the choices but definitely got overwhelmed because I wanted them all. The young ladies then walk you through the process of decorating your items from start to finish and you're off to creating your own masterpiece. This experience at Happy DIY was such a great afternoon activity for an affordable price. And to have a one-of-a-kind phone case that I've received so many compliments on is pretty neat. read more

Happy DIY - My decorated phone case - Mobile Phone Accessories Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A really cool decoden spot with so many different charms, colors, and things to decorate. I did a new phone case! I feel like for $28 that's a great deal to craft something that I really like! The process is: You walk in a let them know how many people in your party. You them know what you'll be making. And for the phone case, they have you pick around 15 charms and two bags of the icing/gel stuff. You sit down and they show you some different ways to pipe the gel on. Once you have your final charm layout done, you put the gel stuff on the case and then stick the charms on! It was really fun and they make the process pretty easy. It was extremelyyyyy busy on the Saturday I went. I believe they take reservations in advance though! The staff was really helpful and efficient even though they were slammed and overall it was such a fun, cute thing to do with friends! read more

I was in Philly for the day with family and wanted to stop by here with my nephews for a fun experience with 'arts and crafts'. I had originally found this place when I was researching things to do with kids in the Philly area. Cons: -The lack of parking. My family and I parked by the Reading Terminal market and walked the few blocks over to Happy DIY. - The prices are astronomical. My nephews chose to design the door sign and it costs $48 each before taxes!! You do get unlimited amount of materials but i don't think the price is worth it. Pros: -The service was good. The staff of younger ladies were helpful with the explaining the process and hands on with guiding my young nephews on the piping of their door sign. - There was large assortment of cute charms and trinkets to customize your items with. The door sign came with unlimited amount of charms but i am not sure about the other items. It does add more to the cost if you choose multiple colors of the piping cream. Overall, i think this was a fun experience but due to the high prices; i would not return. read more

Hello DIY - Creative Fun with a Side of Chaos Hello DIY is definitely a cool concept if you're into customizing your own vibe, this place lets you design everything from phone cases to earbud cases, iPad covers, and more. Total craft-lover's dream! We designed our own phone cases, and it was super fun getting hands-on and seeing everyone's ideas come to life. So many cute materials and designs to play with! BUT... let's talk about the setup: The room was very overcrowded tables were packed, and it felt a little chaotic at times. Not much elbow room to create comfortably. The staff? Mixed bag. Some were helpful, but a few were lowkey rude, which kind of threw off the energy. I get it's busy, but a little kindness goes a long way, especially in a DIY space where people are trying to enjoy the process. Still, the concept is dope, and with a little more space and a friendlier vibe, it could be a 10/10 experience. For now, I'd call it a solid 6.5/10 creative and fun, but definitely needs a little polish on the hospitality side. Items range from $15 or more read more

Pro: clean environment, many charms. Con: no parking space, price. Was in Philly for a birthday weekend for a family member and someone who been here before suggested we come here. Upon entering you are surrounded with many charms, glitter, and decoration as far as the eye can see. There is no store parking lot so you have to park in the garage. The list of items you can choose from to decorate is expensive, with my choice of a dog bone collar being already 8 dollars. The staff don't explain the process much but only helping setting the tools for use. You pretty much figure things out on your own which is why the store name is DIY. All in all, had an ok experience here but nothing mind blowing or getting the bang for your buck. read more

Wonderful time shopping the blind boxes at happy DIY! They had several claw machines as well. The selection of blind boxes was great, they had all the popular ones including Sonny angels, smiski, and labubu. We saw the options for the DIY products which also looked very fun! The staff was very friendly and they let us know about the 10% discount if you use cash. We enjoyed shopping and I would recommend this store! read more

I loved this place so fun so creative but was very expensive.But the workers are a bit weird they said I didn't pay but they literally saw me pay also they said that they can make it for me but the whole point was to make it yourself the workers were very mean and also trying to be friendly they also have blind boxes she kept on kind of ridging us but we where not finished she also told my friend she could not do what she wanted to do. But overall still was so fun definitely would recommend! Very clean! read more

SO many cute charms to choose from to decorate an item of your choosing. Owners very welcoming and explain the process. You then grab a tray, charms, an item to decorate and pick a color glue and piping tip. Was $15 for the air pod which was reasonable for the materials and fun activity for an afternoon solo or with friends. Discount if paid in cash Will be back! read more

Such a fun place with great value! I was visiting Philly and walking around and came across this new little crafts studio hidden away on a side street. We walked into a super cute crafting experience and was pleasantly surprised about how affordable it is. There are a few similar experiences in Boston which are easily 3-4x the price of Happy DIY. There are plenty of tables and we just walked in to do some crafts. The staff are super friendly and greeted us/explained how it worked as we walked in. Side note; I believe this place is family owned as well which is awesome (support local businesses!). I decorated an Airpod case here and I'm very happy how it turned out. Depending on the price of your item, you can choose 1-3 colors of decoden cream. Mine was under $15 so I chose one color. You can also choose an unlimited number of charms/glitter (as long as you can fit it on your item!). I had tons of fun here. This place is definitely going to blow up soon due to popularity -- so go and check it out! read more

Kpop music, rainbow colors, and cuteness fill the room at Happy DIY! Upon walking in, the owners/employees were very helpful in explaining everything and assisting along the way. You pick what you want to design, grab a tray, fill it up with the cute charms or trinkets, and grab a seat to work on your creation. There were multiple drawers of that included everything from Sanrio characters, other cute cartoon animals, to food and drinks and they were all different sizes. I decided to decorate a phone case and it was so much fun picking out the decorations. My friend decorated a jewelry box and you can also choose from mirrors, airpod cases, hair clips, and more to decorate. The sign said press on nails are coming soon! I also feel like if you're good at cake decorating you could get very creative with your design! I didn't think it was too pricey either though if you use multiple colors of the cream glue it does cost $15 each. Phone cases cost $28, and some smaller items cost between $10-$15. On the wall there are examples of finished creations for inspiration. When you tell them you're done, they package your product and tell you to let it try for five days before using. l This was cuteness overload, a great afternoon activity to do either alone or with friends. read more

To start off, me and my friend went here recently and had a great time! There were lots of options regarding the charms, piping colors, and even glitter you could put on your case! The shop is pretty small but it was still big enough where you could move around comfortably. I would say this place is great if you're looking to just sit down, have a long conversation, and chill while decorating with your friends or family. Now, for the people who are more concerned with how you should plan, how much money you should bring, etc, I will explain: Me and my friend went on a Friday at around 2pm. It was definitely kinda busy. All the tables were full when we got there and since we did a walk-in instead of a reservation, we had to wait a few minutes for a table. With that being said, if you're planning on going here with a larger group of people especially during the weekends, I recommend making a reservation! You can dm them on Instagram or call the shop. I paid to decorate the iPhone case which was about $27, but they had a bunch of options! (Pic of the list down below). If you or anyone you're going with has an android I highly recommend asking them if they have your phone model. They have some but there's not a huge variety like the iPhone cases. Me and my friend took an hour to finish decorating and left at around 3pm. Overall, this shop is very cool and nice. 10/10 would recommend read more

Amazing customer service and great atmosphere ! So much to buy and create ! With their arts and crafts a gift for family and friends !

It was really fun making a phone case but for the cost it wasn't really worth it. The employees were very nice and great! They helped my niece, sister, and I with the crafting. I went on 9/14/24 and you have to wait at least 5 days to dry. I waited for about a week just to make sure it stays on properly. I used it once but the glitter was still coming off so I didn't use it again until Thursday (9/26/24). So after 2 days, some came off already. I was really excited to use it but I'm sad it came off already and now it's looking odd Update: 20 hours later another charm fell off and the blue design/glue is falling off. read more

This place is a hidden gem!! Great place to go with friends, family, for a birthday, etc. The prices are decent and the service is quick. Recommend making a reservation in advance read more

Loved this place! Such a fun experience, will definitely be coming back. Staff was extremely nice and helpful, reasonably priced as well.

So cute and all workers are helpful and great price. So happy with the service everyone was very nice

I love it here! They have a few claw machines and blind boxes but everyone comes here for the decoden. You pick out what you want to decorate, and then pick your charms and cream and decorate yourself. The staff is really helpful too and helps show you how to do it. It gets a little cramped when busy, so I wouldn't go on a weekend. It's reasonably priced. The only thing I'm not super happy about is that when the cream dries, it shrinks and flattens, so if you do piping, it will leave gaps. read more

Super fun you should come with your friends, you need to have patience and peace, its fun as a kids to make a case, love it here.

what ever you do, DONOT GET THE LAFUFU FROM HERE. the doll had 9 teeth and I knew it was fake. the QR code took you to the website but once you open the box you will see it's a fake . I don't know what I was expecting, considering not even popmart in store has them but this hurt my heart. 70 bucks and I feel like an absolute fool. he even let me scan that fake qr code . read more

Loved this little place! Got to diy some cute kawaii stuff (was terrible at it but still fun), play with some claw machines and grabbed a blind box. Selection of creams/colors/charms/items to decorate is large, found plenty of cute little charms I liked and decorated a contact lens case. My boyfriend made me a little compact mirror. Help was available if needed. Overall fun experience! read more

Cute. clean small spot in Chinatown - only about 20 people can be in there to craft at the same time. Employees are pretty friendly and help you set up your stuff and provide some brief directions. There is a wall of blind boxes for purchase and a few crane machines (you need to switch out dollars for coins at a machine in the back - 1 coin per $1). They have a lot of different things you can create and a big selection of charms. Prices are a bit steep. I brought my daughter & her 2 friends and also made something myself. It was almost $100 for a small frame, two pop sockets, 5 barrettes and a small handheld mirror (A $1.99 Ikea frame, 3 colors of "frosting" and 15 charms was $32). However, the overall experience was a lot of fun. And I believe it's the only Decoden shop in the city. There is a 10% discount for orders $10 and over if you pay cash, which I didn't know until I got there. Dry time takes about 5 days. read more
