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. ## Highlights Browse through Crackle & Burn's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/crackleandburn/diy-workshops/featured) - [Video: Come and join the fun!
