How it works
Tell us the date, the group size and what they'll make. We'll come back the same day with a price.
We arrive with everything, including a named place for every guest. Setup takes fifteen minutes.
We pack up and take the mess with us. The cream sets over the next two to three days.
What you make
Everyone at the party makes the same piece — clips and keyrings suit the littlest hands.
Parties start at $250, plus a flat $50 travel fee. Send your date, suburb and guest numbers and we'll come back the same day.
The gallery
Every piece here was made by a guest — nothing on this page is a sample.
Every party goes up on @popi_studio — the quickest way to see what a group makes in two hours.
Who books us
Ages 6 and up, at your place. The craft is the party favour, so there's nothing else to organise.
Handbags and phone cases. Ten to fifteen is the sweet spot, and it holds attention for two hours without a screen.
Lettered beads personalise each piece — bridesmaid, the bride's new initials, the date. Works as the afternoon before dinner.
Baby showers, work team days, birthday lunches. If you can seat the group at a table, we can run it there.

Questions we get asked
A decoden party is a hands-on craft party where each guest decorates an object with piped "whipped cream" glue, cherries and kawaii charms.
Decoden is a Japanese craft style — the name comes from "decorative phone", where it started. At a Popi party we bring the pieces, the cream and the charms to you, and everyone builds their own over one to two hours.
Handbags, hair clips, phone cases, heart jewellery boxes, hair brushes, phone stands and keyrings — with new pieces added regularly.
Handbags are the most requested for girls' parties. Everyone at a party makes the same piece, so you choose one when you book. If you have something else in mind, ask and we'll tell you whether it can be decorated.
We come to you. Popi is a mobile party service across Melbourne — there's no studio.
All you need is a party table big enough to seat the group and a chair each. We bring table coverings, set up before guests arrive, and take everything away afterwards.
Parties start at $250, plus a flat $50 travel fee. The final price depends on which piece you choose and how many guests you have.
Send us your date and group size and we'll come back the same day with a price for the whole party. Every quote covers the piece itself, unlimited cream and charms, table coverings, setup, the host running the session, and pack-down — there's nothing else to buy on the day.
Five guests minimum and twenty-five maximum.
Ten to fifteen is where these parties work best — big enough to feel like an event, small enough that everyone gets help when the cream goes sideways.
One to two hours, depending on group size and which piece you choose.
Hair clips and keyrings run about an hour. Jewellery boxes and handbags take the full two. Add fifteen minutes either side for setup and pack-down, which we handle.
Ages 6 and up, right through to adults.
Under-8s do best with hair clips and keyrings — smaller pieces, quicker wins. From about 10, handbags, phone cases and jewellery boxes hold attention beautifully. We run just as many hens parties as kids' birthdays.
Yes. Everyone takes home a special gift that they created themselves with the decoden cream glue and charms.
Every guest carries their own piece home at the end of the party. The cream needs two to three days to set fully, so we send it home with instructions to keep it flat and leave it somewhere out of the way while it cures — after that it's ready to use.
Less than you'd think, and we clean it up either way.
Cream is applied from a piping bag rather than poured, we cover the party table before we start, and pack-down includes taking the rubbish with us.
Three to four weeks for a weekend date, and longer over school holidays and December.
Weekday parties are usually easier to fit in at short notice. If your date is close, ask anyway — cancellations happen.
Yes — adult groups are a large part of what we do.
Handbags, phone cases and jewellery boxes are the usual picks. It works well as the daytime activity before a dinner booking, and it gives a group something to do together that isn't drinking.
Price and availability
We'll come back within one business day. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
