Build the perfect Pinterest-inspired gifts at Pinnovate

Forget spooky season, it’s officially DIY season! With the holidays on the horizon, we’ve been scouting for the best stocking stuffers out there– but is there really anything better than a homemade gift? We don’t think so. Keep reading for all the details on the creative hub that is Pinnovate!

This winter season, our favourite creative space has over 60 DIY Xmas projects that can be made in-store at any time. Everything– and we mean everything– is customizable, so whether you’re picky about paint colours, materials, or embellishments, Pinnovate has you covered.

They’re also offering a ton of diverse workshops over the course of Winter 2018. There’ll be planter designing workshops with Esme Beauty Bar, holly jolly cookie decorating with Corriane’s Custom Cookies, and much more. It’s the perfect activity for friends, family, or coworkers– so if you have a group of 20-40, it might be time to book the studio for a little holiday bonding.

But if you’re really focused on the stocking stuffers, Pinnovate will be offering two workshop evenings devoted to just that. You can expect to craft the night away at various stations, including a jewelry-making table, a peppermint bath bomb stop, a mason jar ornaments station, and more. And as always, Pinnovate’s bar and resto will be serving up festive wine and cupcakes all night long!

The studio will be taking on Calgary’s streets, offering different DIY Xmas experiences for groups of 50-500. Additionally, they’ll be making a stop at Divine Mercy school and the DI Centre, to create a legacy mural piece with the students, donate goods, and teach women valuable embroidery skills.
