Hands-On Creative Experiences for Every Celebration

 From bead bars and painting stations to tie-dye and seasonal crafts, our experiences are designed to bring people together in a fun, relaxed, and welcoming way.

Whether you’re hosting a birthday, bridal shower, or casual get-together, we make it easy to add something creative and memorable to your event. Everything is thoughtfully prepared—from materials to setup—so you can focus on enjoying time with your guests while we take care of the experience.

Jewelry-Making

A go-to favorite for celebrations. Guests design their own bracelets or keychains using a curated selection of beads and charms. It’s relaxed, social, and perfect for mixing, mingling, and creating something personal to take home.

Tie Dye & Shibori

Bright, playful, and always a hit. Guests experiment with folding and dyeing techniques to create bold, one-of-a-kind pieces. Great for groups who want something colorful, hands-on, and a little messy in the best way.

Mandala Dot Painting

A soothing, almost meditative activity where guests create beautiful patterns using dot techniques. It’s easy to learn and surprisingly satisfying—great for all ages.

Paint Experiences

A guided painting experience where guests can follow along or do their own thing. Choose from canvas, tote bags, wood, or more—everyone leaves with a finished piece, no experience needed.

Watercolor Techniques

Soft, calming, and perfect for slower-paced gatherings. Guests explore simple watercolor techniques while creating something light and expressive. Ideal for a relaxed, intimate vibe.

Stamp Carving and Block Printing

Guests design and carve their own stamps, then use them to print onto paper or fabric. It’s a hands-on, creative process that feels unique and a little unexpected.

Custom Hat Bar

Guests personalize their own hat with bands, trims, and embellishments. It’s interactive, stylish, and doubles as a wearable keepsake—perfect for parties and group photos.

Botanical Salt Bar

A calming, sensory experience where guests mix their own bath salts using natural ingredients like dried flowers and essential oils. A simple, feel-good activity with a take-home treat.

Seasonal Crafts

Festive and easy to enjoy. From garlands and ornaments to scented potpourri, these activities are designed to match the season and add a decorative touch to your gathering.

Textile & Clay Wall Hangings

Guests shape, design, and decorate their own wall piece using clay and mixed materials. A creative option for those who want something a little more tactile and artistic.

Macramé Workshop

A relaxed introduction to knotting techniques where guests create a simple, modern décor piece. It’s hands-on but approachable, even for beginners.

Succulent Arrangement 

Guests build their own mini plant arrangement using succulents, stones, and moss. It’s low-maintenance, beautiful, and something they can keep growing at home.

Wooden Floral Ornaments

Simple, nature-inspired crafts using pressed flowers and painted wood. Guests create delicate, decorative pieces that feel personal and giftable.

Mug Painting

A fun and easy activity where guests decorate their own mug with guided support. Great for all ages and perfect for something both creative and functional.

Card Making

Guests create hand-painted or decorated cards using watercolor and mixed media. A light, creative activity that’s perfect for conversation and connection.

Bridal Shower
Dragonfly Designs created memories that will last a lifetime through the beautiful jewelry we created at my daughter's bridal shower. The jewelry designers' setup was flawless and they were kind and helpful. The beads were high quality and beautiful, so the guests and bridesmaids were able to create the necklaces and bracelets they wore on the wedding day. I highly recommend this company and their tremendously helpful staff.

Adult Birthday Party
highly recommend Dragonfly Designs if you're seeking a fun interactive activity that inspires creativity and social interaction at your events. Our guests had a wonderful time creating bracelets and keychains, sharing stories about their choices and laughing the entire time. Tamara and Candi were especially helpful, guiding and encouraging. Five stars!

Jewelry-Making Class
We were looking for a local jewelry making class. Dragonfly Designs popped up in a Yelp search. We scheduled a bead bash class where we can make unlimited designs within 1.5 hours. Gianna, Sabine and Caitlyn gave us the beading basics and introduced the tools. They also provided very good tips regarding what color or shapes work on a piece. It was a pretty relaxing class. We had a great time. They also had some premade jewelry for sale at a very reasonable price. Moms looking to do something together, this is the place for you!"

Dragonfly Designs is exceptional! From their creativity to execution, everything was on point. They took great care to discuss my event in order to find custom activities that would be aligned with my client's vision. They exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to work with them again.

The Clay Wall Hanging Workshop was a great event that's accessible for anyone - from people with absolutely no art skills to those who've been through art school. We all ended up with a piece of art that will remind us of the fun we had as long as it's on display. Thank you for leading us through a wonderful class.

I'm so much less intimidated by painting now! Our teachers did a fantastic job of addressing any fear and anxiety we may have had about the project. It was almost like 90 minutes of play therapy but for adults. 10/10 - I recommend it!
