About DIY Workshops
Why I Host DIY Workshops
Making stuff with my hands is a total mood-lifter for me. Whether it’s turning wax into ladoo candles for Diwali or coming up with Christmas crafts, I love the buzz of seeing an idea become something real. I started these workshops wanting to share that feeling with you - honestly, it’s about taking a break and just feeling proud of what you make.
What Happens at My Workshops
- Always chill, friendly space - even if you’ve never touched craft supplies before
- Kids are welcome at special sessions (mostly 8+ or 12+)
- No need to bring anything except your excitement - I sort out all materials
- You get to take home whatever you make (and show off a little)
- We keep it lively with coffee and random chats
Highlights: Candle Making & Gift Wrapping
If you’re curious about candle making workshop, I’ll walk you through every step - melting wax, pouring, blending scents, and even a few French tricks I picked up. The Flameless Scented Wax Tablet session is a hit, especially if you want cute aroma bombs for drawers or as gifts.
For gift wrapping techniques, I’ll show how to wrap boxes with some flair, make bows, layer ribbons, and use wax seals for that extra oomph.
Quick Heads-Up
I don’t have a fixed studio - I pop up at partner spots around Mumbai, like Juhu. Keeps things interesting, but means seats fill up super fast. If you’re looking for beginner craft sessions or just want a self-care creative workshop, I’m all about making it hands-on and real.

My Story
Hey, we’re Crackle & Burn Candles. Started off as my escape from the corporate grind, now it’s pure joy in every pour and swirl. Some days I’m just lost in designing a new candle - like that lotus one, took ages but so worth it. Diwali hampers filled with motichoor ladoo candles? That’s my happy place! Christmas trees, workshops, everything’s about sharing a bit of handmade happiness. It’s not just wax, it’s a mood.
