Reservations are recommended, they get busy with birthday groups and parties on the weekend. The whole experience takes a bit over 2 hoirs depending on what you decorate and prices start from $30+. Lots of charms to choose from and you can bring your own. The staff wad helpful in every step to help teach you how to use the piping bags to decoration ideas.

I recently came across fluid bears on social media, and it looked like such a fun and unique…read moreactivity. My friend and I booked through an Instagram direct message and went during their "buy one, get one free" promotion for the fluid bear. The bears come in many sizes, and prices increase accordingly (keychain $22, 7" $58, 9" $68, 13" $108, 21" $168, 1 mini bear and canvas $38, and 2 mini bears and canvas $48). On the website, it also lists how long each project is expected to take. They also have pom-pom canvases and bags. The pom-pom canvases are: 8 x 8" $58, 12 x 12" $68, 18" x 18" $88, 18" x 23" $108, 23" x 23" $168, and 40" x 40" $328. The pom-pom bags are: A4 $88, A3 $108, and B5 $68. When we arrived and checked in for our reservation, an employee showed us the different-sized bears, and there were even some that were sitting or leaning back in addition to the standing ones. He gave us some time to decide, and then we also chose paint colours. We weren't sure what colours we wanted, so he showed us photos of previous customers' projects. We were set up at a table with aprons, our chosen paint colours, our bear on a tray, and even given a hair tie if we didn't have one with us to keep our hair out of the way. The employee showed us how to pour and mix our different paint colours and then pour them on our bears. The first pour was definitely the best one for me. The colours and patterns were astounding. Sometimes the paint doesn't completely cover the bear as it drips down, so they provide a plastic spoon to fill in those spots. The last thing before paying was deciding whether or not we wanted the bears to have a matte or gloss finish. Also, there's no tax if you pay in cash. We were informed that our bears would be ready for pickup in two to three days, and I did get a text informing me that our bears were ready within two days. I wasn't sure how to transport my finished bear home. It turns out that they put them in a case for you.   Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our fluid bear experience. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitebear_trt/ website: https://www.whitebeardiy.com/

A wonderful experience…read more I live out in the suburbs close to one of DeSerres competitors, so I don't make it into one of their stores often. The times I do, I have my art-obessed daughter in tow, and it makes for a pricey trip. I recently started a new job down the street from this store, so I was able to drop in sans daughter - my my wallet thanked me. What I like about DeSerres as a whole is it is much more art-focuses as opposed to their major competitor who is arts and craft focused. After browsing around taking in the store, I started to look for the products that I had actually gone there for. I was then approached by a lady working there who promptly showed me where both of the things I was looking for were located (Shrinky Dinks plastic sheets & epoxy putty.) I then checked out and had pleasant conversation with the person working the front desk. When people in retail enjoy what they are doing it comes across in their interactions and I defeinitely loved the experience. Will repeat when I can!
