How Much Does Fun Cost?

2012-01-04T10:35:00.000-08:00

Well...of course fun is priceless...but materials might cost a little bit! Each project is individually priced based on materials cost. Browse the categories (always being updated!) for a project you like, and find the price next to it.

What if I want to make something I have pinned, but don't see it?
We LOVE new projects...so just convo me and I can price quote you materials based on a private party pricing system (materials cost plus $4.00 per person, minimum 8 participants)

Can children come?
Yes, making sure the project is appropriate for the skill and attention level of your child. Parents know best, and so I also ask they are an accompanying paying participant as well.

Can we bring in food or drinks?
Yummy! I love food & drinks, so of course!! I have a small, but full kitchen to hold your goodies for munching during the project. A 30 minute time is provided afterwards for you to clean-up of any food or drink service.

Can you recommend Catering?
Yes, and can provide tasty menus (think fun theme here with the project!!) for private parties.
