DIY Gift Workshops in Bhubaneswar: Make It Handmade

Looking for a gift that feels personal, not picked off a shelf? A DIY gift workshop in Bhubaneswar lets you make one with your own hands in about two hours, with every material provided and someone to guide you.

This guide covers the GoWeekends workshops where you leave with something worth gifting: a bouquet, a cupcake bouquet, scented candles, a decorated mirror or a hand-painted bottle. It also covers what each one costs and which suits whom.

Why give a handmade gift this season?

The cooler months are full of reasons to give: weddings, birthdays, office Secret Santa, Christmas and New Year visits. A handmade gift says you spent time on someone, and that is hard to buy.

• It's personal: you pick the colours, the scent and the design
• It's an experience too: two relaxed hours with friends, family or on your own
• No skills needed: every workshop below is beginner-friendly
• Nothing to buy first: materials and tools are included

How these workshops work

Each workshop below lasts 2 hours and is guided step by step by an instructor or facilitator. You make your piece at the session and take it home the same day.

They run on select weekends at partner cafés and venues around Bhubaneswar. The exact venue and map link are on each workshop page. If a page shows Dates TBA, tap Notify me and we'll email you when the next date is announced.
