I'm a first timer at decoden and I love the game Love and Deepspace so when I saw an ad for a character's birthday party I just had to check the studio out! I was originally planning to buy just merchandise but I noticed how cute everything was and so I ended up decorating some items myself. I ended up having such an amazing and memorable experience even though I was overwhelmed and anxious over the whole process because the employees Annie and Becky (sorry if I misspelled) helped me out so much from start to finish. The other customers had a good/friendly enegy as well so I was able to fill up my creative and social cup from the event. I smiled or giggled a ton from people or just putting a charm in the right spot! I definitely want to come back outside of an event just because it was such a fun and relaxing experience for me that even though I went home tired I internally felt rejuvenated! Picking out charms probably took me half an hour to 45 minutes and the actual process took me an hour. I took some pictures of what I decorated and bought. I also got freebies inside the baggie (which I took pics of later on). I spent around $119 which I think was definitely worth it because I got to learn a new skill, I got good quality merchandise, I have items that is literally one of a kind, and I got to take care of my inner child that day. I am super excited for any future events and loved my experience so much that I'm already thinking about when to go next! read more

Went here and it is such a fun chill activity to bond to. It's located in a super chill plaza with plenty of parking where you do not feel pressured and it's close enough to the Cupertino plaza with daiso and sanrio where you can walk to it. Service was awesome! Just for service I would give it 1000000000 stars! She was so sweet and helpful yet I like how she gave us space to be creative and talk to each other without interruption. Lots of super cute organized charms to choose from! Very fun and I will recommend this place to friends and family. read more

The items you decorate are pretty cheap, like maybe a few dollars max. I wish their photo frames had wider bezels so there would be more room to decorate. I'm a bit confused by how they decide what's a bonus charm (the ones you can only get one or two of) and what's a regular charm, since some of the bonus charms weren't that interesting or large. Picking out the charms takes up most of the time. It was pretty empty (there was a max of 3 other people there at the same time as us), but even with so few other people it's really hard to access the charms if someone else is looking. And this seems like a popular place for kids' birthday parties, so it could get chaotic depending on the timing. I paid $35 for my medium trinket box and 2 hours of decorating. I think overall this is a fine place to try decoden for the first time. It's quite pricey vs if you were to buy the materials yourself, but it's convenient to have the tools (different icing tips) and a wide variety of charms. And the staff is very nice and patient. Edit: forgot to add that I messaged this business to ask what materials are in their decoden creams, but I never got a response. read more

So happy to have found this place when it popped up on Instagram! Decided to celebrate my birthday by doing a little decoden activity here with friends and we had such a great time! Booking a reservation was easy. Upon checking in we were introduced into the space and options of what we wanted to decorate or create. This was the hardest part, mostly because there was so much to choose from. I opted for a compact/comb in one of my favorite colors. They have so many things from hairclips, trinket boxes and phone cases. Depending on your item you're alotted an "icing" color and a number of charms. To be honestly I barely used half the amount of charms I was allowed. Instructions were easy and helpful. There were so many colors and cute and fun charms to work with. Loved that they had some sample pieces up too. Once my party got ideas of what we were going to do we were all in the flow and so focused on our decorating. It was fun to be creating together with music playing in the background. The space was comfortable and the 3 hours went by super fast. I definitely recommend this place if you are into decoden, into crafting/arts and perfect for a bonding activity or to celebrate anything really! I'll def have to come back! read more

Omg!!! This spot is amazing. So many cute things to decorate with. It was my first time here with my friends, and we definitely enjoyed it. We wanted to get crafty and tap, but mostly we just decorated our items. You can hear us holding our breath or not blinking because we are concentrating on piping the cream. I made a jewelry box for my mom. It is not perfect, but I tried at least. I had to remind them that this is not a cake, but it's so cute that it looks like one. The service is amazing and very helpful with the instructions. The staff are so friendly and will assist you if you have questions. I would definitely come back with the girlies again. read more

Such a cute spot for a date or a hangout with friends! They have some pieces for you to decorate like mirrors, claw clips, fans, picture frames etc but you are more than welcome to bring your own pieces too. They have a decent selection of charms but again you are welcome to bring your own charms and supplies to decorate too. The staff will teach you how to pipe but you're left alone most of the time to create your own art! No time limit, we had so much fun we started pulling things from our purses to see what else we could decorate. read more

Such a cute place and plenty of options. You get 2 hours to pick items and decorate. We end up taking 1.5 hours. The staff was friendly and they provide guidance but you're pretty much on your own. Most likely will come back again for some crafting therapy. Price range I think is reasonable, but not all charms displayed were available so that was a bummer. read more

Omg I had a fun while decompressing from my week! I got to decorate a jewelry box with lots of cute things. There were so many types of charms, they tell you how many you can get for the item you choose to decorate and the amount of cream colors too :). Service is very sweet and helpful, don't worry they walk you through everything. The most important thing to remember is don't worry about your item looking "perfect" just have fun with it! Value is good I think because selection is big :). read more

My friend and I had a kawaii-filled afternoon crafting at Kawaii DIY Studio this weekend. Such a fun concept: pick your project, select adorable charms and frosting colors to customize your creation, then get crafty! I decided to make a large heart-shaped trinket box and my friend picked hair clips. Since it was our first time, the owners gave us a frosting tutorial and tips. A great and unique activity, perfect for catching up with a friend and creating your own one-of-a-kind treasures! Prices were definitely reasonable for the experience. I definitely want to come back and make more items! read more

10/10 experience. I came here with my friend to celebrate our birthdays. The owners, mother and her daughter are the epitome of patience! They were incredibly friendly, kind, and gentle with us, especially as we were both feeling overwhelmed by all the choices and our perfectionist tendencies. They provided a little tutorial for the frosting, and even gave one-to-one support. :) My friend and I loved what we made! Then whoopsiepoopsie! I dropped my masterpiece face down! I so badly wanted to melt to the floor and cry, but the owners stepped up and said it's happened to others before and that it's okay. They sat with me as I fixed it and gave lots of cheers and encouragement the whole time. Above and beyond service and unexpected grace. They even gave us a quick photoshoot with our creations, lol. Please go to here, you won't regret it. Creativity you didn't know you had will spill out of you here! Big fun! *** Recommendations: Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time as you will most likely feel overwhelmed with all the cute options to decorate, as well as all the kawaii charms to choose for your design. If possible, schedule yourself for the last appointment for a relaxed experience, - I'm incredibly indecisive so it was important I didn't feel rushed during the experience. read more

So so so cute! I loved this experience when I went with my cousins and sisters. There's so many items to choose from that you can decorated! From small to big, from frames to everyday items like wallets, it's endless. I'd love to come back and do some of the other things they had. You got to choose at least 2 of the pastes and many charms depending on the item you got. I had so much fun decorating mine and being creative! The workers were so nice as well, they showed us how to apply the product properly and talked to us about K-pop which was nice. I hope I can come back for ther K-pop birthday events!! Definitely would recommend. read more

I'm already itching to come back and make more! read more

I discovered this location after my friend shared an Instagram video about it. I went there with a friend to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday afternoon. Although we didn't have a reservation, they had a seat available for walk-ins. If it had been busy, we likely wouldn't have been able to get in, especially if they were booked for a large party. I'm glad there was no time limit because I would have felt stressed trying to decide what item I wanted to customize. I debated between a mirror and a hair clip, while my friend debated between a box and a hair clip. In the end, my friend chose the hair clip, and I opted for the hand mirror. After that, I needed to decide on a charm. I kept changing my mind about which charm to use while figuring out the placement. In the picture, I have three creams because I texted my friend to ask which colors I should use. I ultimately chose a pink mixture with white and purple. For the hand mirror, I have fifteen regular charms, two cream charms, and two mega charms. I'm thankful for the unlimited mini charms that available on the table because they help fill out the space. I didn't practice much beforehand but decided to dive in. I can see where I need to improve, but for my first attempt, I'm pleased with how my mirror turned out. I think I visited on a day when they had run out of some charms, but I plan to come back and work on another project. I hope they have more items and charms the next time I come back. I find out on instagram yes you can bring your own supplies like charms and what not. The staff was super friendly, patient, and helpful. The owner explained that their silicone cream is strong enough to withstand travel, which was important since my friend and I had more plans for the day. My friend accidentally dropped her project, but she was able to adjust the charm a bit, and it survived just fine. read more

Love this place! Came here with my daughter and her friend for her birthday and we had a great time. The charms and supplies were really nice and a good selection.

Loved my time with the studio. A friend and I were looking for something fun to do and thought we'd make something. We got there early and saw the most adorable treat decor/stools. The space is so well organized with examples and options. The signage is clear about what charms we could use based on project size. The shop gal greeted us with warmth and happiness. She was tremendous in creating a fun place to hang out. There was kpop playing. I couldn't name a thing though it's a fun vibe. I ended up choosing a luggage tag. Then the fun chaos began: which charms and cream to use. Ahhh! :) Charms are stored in numerous drawers. I changed my mind a few things and that's ok. The cute heart-shaped bowl as part of the set up made it easy to carry around. We had our reserved table with tools and additional filler items. Loved the sprinkles and glow-in-the-dark flakes. It's a lot of choice and flexibility with a wonderful supportive space to have fun. The two hours flew by. I flubbed sometimes with my cream and those moistened wipes saved the day. Eventually, I said whatever and just stuck some flakes to my oops. Haha. I loved my time here. My friend and I had some quality hang time. Cost is about average from these kinds of spaces. It's totally worth it to me from the service, choices, organization, easy parking (lot), location (tea across the street with restaurants not far away). I'd come back and definitely recommend to others. read more

I know this place is known for their decoden, but they have another activity that I was more interested in which was creating your own Moru doll keychain! The person at the front was really helpful and sweet. She taught us how to make it step by step & since my husband & I were the only ones that were interested, it was very easy to follow her. Also, the price was fair. We made 2 Moru dolls and the total came out to be $90 which came with the accessories including, clothing, glasses, bows, keychain & cute to go bag! Overall, I'd go back to this location and try decoden. read more

super cute crafts store tucked in a small plaza in cupertino! i do think the charm selection could have more variety, but it wasn't too big of an issue. the staff were really nice and patience, & they set you up perfectly! i paid ~$40 for a mini photocard book, but i'd say it was worth it based on the experience! lots of fun, and it didn't take too long (~2 hours), so this is a perfect stop if you're just looking for something to do in the area. there's a sign on the door that says appointments only, so do keep that in mind. looking forward to visiting again ! read more

A must check out if you love decoden art and cute diy trinklets! Made my first custom deco phone case here with a friend and we love it so much. It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back to make another phone case read more

I brought my daughter and her friends to celebrate her 13th birthday here and it was a great experience. It's a cute space and the staff were super helpful and nice. I didn't know to tell them that we were celebrating a birthday, but when we arrived, they realized it and set up decorations and gave my daughter a special little gift. I would recommend it for a birthday or just to spend time with friends. I think that it's fun for teens and adults too! read more

Kawaii DIY Studio - Some of the tools and my creation - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Cupertino, California

this was such a fun experience! although, if decision making is hard for you, you will have an extremely difficult time choosing between all the cute charms and how to decorate your object! nonetheless, the set up of the decorating station, signs, tools at your table as well as the staff make it very easy to navigate! while i have experience in piping and didn't need a demonstration, i saw staff helping/giving tips on how to use the piping tips. i made a reservation for a tuesday afternoon and it wasn't that crowded, but i just like the idea of securing a spot. whether you are a baker like me and want a similar experience without all the dishes, or someone who loves channeling their creativity, or even just want to try something new, i'd highly recommend coming here! read more

Went here with my bestie and had an absolute blast. As two people who aren't super artistic, we still had so much fun picking out the tiny trinkets and learning how to apply the cream. The employee was super helpful really encouraging despite our creative chaos. I was very persistent on a huge cookie charm that overtook most of my decorating LOL. We ended up making 2 photocard holders each within our session. Just as a note, If you are a person with a Samsung phone or something else, I recommend bringing a clear case for your specific model because they only carry Apple cases. Highly recommend for a friends day. read more
