Frequently Asked Questions
It's a new concept, and it's confusing, I get it.
If you still have questions after perusing through this section please don't hesitate to reach out!
What types of crafts do you offer for private in-home parties?
We offer three unique DIY craft workshops each month for easy booking. However, if you have a specific theme or occasion, I can create a custom craft to fit your event! Whether it's canvas painting, DIY ceramic painting, or a creative craft party for adults, I’ll help you find the perfect fit.
How many guests do I need to book a private in-home craft party?
Private pop-up craft parties require a minimum of 10 guests, with up to 15 additional guests available at a per-person rate. If your event will have more than 25 people, let’s chat about options!
How much does it cost to host a private craft party?
Pricing varies based on the craft. Please check out the Book Now page for the most up-to-date pricing on DIY workshops and craft parties in Des Moines!
Do you require a deposit to book a private party?
Yes! The base price for private parties (covering 10 attendees) is due at the time of booking. Additional guests can be added later, with final headcount due one week prior to your event.
What areas do you travel to for in-home craft parties?
I’m based in Norwalk and travel within a 20-mile radius at no extra charge. A travel fee applies for locations 21+ miles away. If you're outside the area, consider my craft kits, which come with instructions and allow you to host your own DIY art studio experience!
How long does a typical craft party last?
I arrive 30–45 minutes before the scheduled start time to set up and make everything look adorable. The DIY workshop itself lasts about an hour.
What do I need to provide as the host?
You provide tables, chairs, and any food or drinks for your guests. I’ll bring all the necessary craft supplies and guide everyone through an unforgettable DIY craft party!
Can kids participate, or is this just for adults?
My workshops are primarily geared toward crafting for adults since we use materials like UV resin, cut glass, and clay. However, I love crafting with kids, too! I’m happy to adjust certain projects to be kid-friendly and age-appropriate when requested.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my party?
-
4+ weeks’ notice = Full refund
-
2 weeks’ notice = 50% refund
-
Less than 2 weeks’ notice = No refund
If you need to reschedule, I require as much notice as possible, and the new date must be within six months of your original booking.
Can I choose a custom craft for my event?
Absolutely! I love designing unique DIY art experiences for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and team-building events. Let’s collaborate on a special DIY workshop that matches your theme!
Do you offer pop-up craft parties for businesses or large events?
Yes! A DIY craft party is perfect for businesses, corporate team-building, happy hours, or client/employee appreciation events. For larger groups, craft kits are a great option since they come with instructions and don’t require on-site instruction.
Do you offer any fundraising or charity event options?
Yes! Fundraising events are available exclusively for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Let's work together to create a fun and engaging craft fundraiser to support your mission!
How far in advance should I book my craft party?
Parties should be booked at least 30 days in advance. If you’re planning a last-minute event, a craft kit experience may be a better fit. Sometimes miracles happen and I have enough supplies on hand and an open date, so if you're looking to book last minute reach out right away and let's see what we can do!
Can I book a party for a holiday?
I do not offer in-person parties for most major holidays, but craft kits are a fantastic way to add a hands-on activity to your celebration! Let's create a fun holiday-themed craft for your guests!
Do you offer craft parties for special occasions like birthdays, bridal showers, or girls’ nights?
Yes! A DIY craft workshop is a fantastic way to celebrate a special occasion. Skip the party games and let guests paint pottery, create canvas art, or try a fun DIY craft—everyone leaves with a unique keepsake!
What happens if fewer guests show up than expected?
Since private parties require a 10-guest minimum, any unused craft supplies are yours to keep. Each kit is individually packaged, so you can send them home with guests or save them for later!
What if more guests want to join last minute?
I may have a few extra supplies on hand, depending on the craft. However, I typically need at least 48 hours’ notice to prepare materials for additional guests.
Do you offer virtual or take-home craft kits?
Yes! I have a variety of craft kits available for purchase, complete with step-by-step photo instructions. Virtual instruction can also be added if you’d like a guided DIY art experience from home!
What if I have zero crafting experience? Will I still be able to participate?
Absolutely! No DIY art experience is needed—I’ll guide you through the process and demonstrate different techniques before letting you get creative. I’ll be there throughout the event to offer help and encouragement. The most important thing? Trust the process! Every piece is meant to be one-of-a-kind—you're creating a unique work of art!
