We are a DIY Kit and Mobile Workshop business that helps and empowers you to create home decor you wish existed.

Our kits and workshops take the guess work out for those out of practice to create, and spark the creativity for those itching to start making Painted, laser cut, and all things wood and home decor.

One of the biggest challenges I have lately is simply getting the word out about our classes! With how Facebook works these days, I know a lot of our posts aren't reaching everyone, and I feel like so many people don't even know what we have coming up.
Here is a peak-more coming!

TEXTURED TREE CLASSES
We only have a few spots left!

November 6th – 4 spots remaining
November 8th – 2 spots remaining

If you've been thinking about joining us for one of these, now's a great time to grab a spot!

HOLIDAY DECOR WORKSHOPS

These are our make-what-you-love classes! Choose from porch signs, door hangers, wall decor and so much more. You can pick something from our website or reach out about a custom design.

I'll be sharing more details and examples of what you can make!
Book your seat here!

We added another Kinusaiga class!! Check out the pieces from yesterdays class!!àhttps://www.bydesign-decor.com/product-page/kinusaiga-workshop-sept-27th-2pm

PRIVATE WORKSHOPS & SELF-LED PARTIES

We still have lots of availability for private studio workshops, and don't forget about our self-led parties!

You can organize your own get-together, have everyone choose their projects, and enjoy creating together on your own schedule.

For self-led parties, you can place your orders anytime through our website. Just make sure everyone includes the hostess's name with their order so we can keep everything together!

AND HERE'S WHERE I COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP!

If you see one of our class posts this week, even a quick like, comment or share helps get it in front of more people.

It's just me behind the scenes trying to keep up with the designing, cutting, painting, packing, classes, website and everything else that comes with running this little business.

I absolutely love what I do. I just need a little help making sure people know we're here and what we have to offer!

Thank you so much for continuing to support By Design DIY Decor. It really does mean a lot!

Your holiday craft get-together starts here!

Gather your friends, family or coworkers for a private class at our North Gower studio—or host a self-led craft night at home!

With a group of 6 or more, the hostess receives $50 off her own piece!

There aren’t many weekend studio spots left, so message us soon if you have a date in mind. Enjoy a relaxed class with supplies, tools and guidance provided while everyone creates something they love.

Prefer to host at home? Our self-led classes are easy to organize and come with everything you need, including your projects, paint, supplies and instructions. Choose a time and place that works for your group—there’s no need to work around studio availability!

Ordering for your self-led class is simple:

Have everyone choose and order their project from the DIY Kits section of our website.

Include your event date and hostess’s name in the order notes so we can group your orders together.

Once all your group’s orders are in, we’ll message to arrange pickup of your kits together.

A fun night with friends, a little creativity and something to bring home—or keep right at home!

Wednesday Brag Day!!

I absolutely love seeing what everyone creates after leaving the studio, and this little ghost is too cute not to share!

Look at how adorable she turned out! From her little boots and big burgundy bow to her pumpkin and fall bouquet, everything came together beautifully!
This client is a fave, and always cranks out the beauties!

Yes! You can do this! I promise you can.
Your first time, jump in a class, and after that, you won't need me anymore, I promise.

One of my favourite parts of doing what I do is seeing how everyone puts their own spin on a design. Different colours, little personal touches, and creative ideas make every piece unique.

Now I want to see YOUR creations!

Whether you've joined us for a class, picked up a DIY kit, or ordered Just the Pieces to create at home, I'd love to see how yours turned out!

Post your pictures in the comments or send them to me in a message. I'd love to start featuring more of your creations on our Wednesday Brag Days!

And don't be shy! I know there are lots of finished projects out there that I haven't seen yet!

Let's see what you've been making!
