About this Event

Art of DIY is here for the 2025/2026 Season! This Fall, Winter, and Spring, you will create your own beautiful, scented candle & body butter, followed by a period of ‘free create’ where you can paint on canvas, contribute to our mosaic ceiling, or color while vibing to music! Take home your creations to use or create a gift package to give to others.

Use our essential oils or bring your own food-grade favorite. Only $35 for all these amazing benefits!

Our previous iterations have sold out quickly so don’t wait to purchase your tickets.

Candles will be in 10oz containers & Body Butters will be in 8oz containers. Candles need 24hrs to set, then can be taken home next day. Curing takes up to 2 weeks.

Contact us at for a full list of ingredients if you are worried about potential allergens.

Disclaimer: Before using any new product for the first time, you should test it on a small area of your skin. If you develop a skin reaction or any other sensitivity or symptoms, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician.
