The Makery

We wanted to paint freestyle essentially. There were some parts of the pictures we couldn't draw the staff helped us draw them. They have ribbons , all kinds floral, wood projects, crafts, glue guns, Staple gun. Zillion kinds of paint, chalk, wood signs for your front door you can buy already made or paint your self, they have take home craft kits too!! My niece and I had lots of fun.

What a fun place! Tons of options to choose from and everything you'll need to finish your project. Staff is available to help you out if needed.

Neat concept but I was a little lost and confused as to the process of how they do things here. Thankfully I have done these projects many times so I knew what needed to happen. We were in on a Saturday late afternoon. We had to go up and ask questions and figure things out ourselves. I had to ask for specific supplies and the staff didn't really come check out give direction. Definitely has room for improvement on when it comes to greeting, giving direction and following up on progress of projects. Cool place though, I'd go back.

My family loves this place! We've done in store crafts for hours and also picked up projects to do at home with some friends. Always a blast & we always love our completed projects. In store there's so many ideas, examples, & options to choose from the excitement starts as soon as you walk in. 🤩 I hardly even notice others crafting in store and enjoy being able to ask for assistance, help, or even artistic suggestions from any of the super friendly & helpful staff always nearby. Wide selection of paints, colors, and accessories, the hardest part is choosing and picking one (of anything) last visit we resorted to choosing two because we couldn't decide 😊

This place is AMAZING! The hardest part is picking what project to do. I love that they have open studio and everyone can choose their own project. Kid friendly and the assistants are so helpful guiding you as much or as little as you need. First time for trying sting art! So fun!

A great unique networking opportunity to Sip & Make different items along with friends. You can bring your own food & drink with your group. Check it out. BC Clark

Such a fun time! Great for any age group and such helpful staff to make sure your craft comes together! ☺️ Highly recommend this place for a good time!

The Makery is a fun crafty spot for making door hangers, string art and signs . They even have projects for kids. The employees are extremely helpful and creative.

As someone who isn't exactly the next Martha Stewart but occasionally likes to dabble in creativity, The Makery was an absolute delight! I spent a Saturday morning there with a wonderful group of ladies, ranging in age from our 40s to 80s, and with crafting skills spanning from "I've got this" to "help me, please." The staff? Top-notch. Seriously. They were like crafting superheroes--swooping in with paint suggestions and design tips and even taking over when my creative stress levels hit their peak. And they did it all with a smile and words of encouragement. The store itself is a crafter's paradise. If you can dream it, you can probably make it here--flowers, bows, 3D words, endless embellishments. Me? I had my heart set on a Husker door hanger (because, well, priorities), and I pulled it off with the staff's help! We were there for about 2.5 hours and had a reservation for our group of six, which I'd recommend because this place was hopping. My masterpiece set me back $48.18, and I happily tossed a $5 tip in the jar--honestly, I wish I'd had more cash because the staff was that helpful. I spotted a few other projects I'd love to try... once my art anxiety settles and I start believing in my crafting abilities again. Until then, I'll admire my door hanger and look forward to my next visit to The Makery--where creativity meets encouragement, and even the most hesitant crafter (like me) can leave feeling like a DIY champion!

Went to a team outing for work and this place was AMAZING! The only downside is that it's not easy to find, but that was it! But once inside there are tons of options to paint and prices are reasonable too! Starting at $35... also, the employees are so friendly and they will write on your board and they have very nice handwriting. Plenty of room for parties and you're allowed to bring in food! Most definitely will be back!

Absolutely love this craft store that allows you to be creative & make one of a kind personal gifts or something for your own home decor!!! The store has plenty of choices for you to choose your craft project & get started right away! The staff are friendly & helpful from beginning to end!! Check the calendar for daily events! We went on open craft night. Fabulous ideas here-from wall art, incentive signs, door hangers, small plant holders, string art & more! I highly recommend going with friends, family or if you want time by yourself this is the place to be to let your creative self out! Everything is clean & there's no shortage of supplies!! I look forward to going back with my nieces. This is great family bonding time & we'll all have something to take home to remember this time together!

Had an amazing time making a beautiful sunflower to hang on my classroom door welcoming students every day. Staff was so helpful and made it a pleasure to be there!

Right now- my family is on a health kick. We were looking for places to go that did not involve food and The Makery was a no brainer! We had a ground of various ages and interests- it was awesome that we were all able to bring home a completely different project. The staff was super helpful but not overbearing! They definitely helped our vision come to life. From helping us pick a project, to giving tips to putting on the finishing touches- they truly did it all while still giving us enough privacy to chat and have fun. It is a fantastic place to spend a few hours and very reasonably priced. Leave the mess at home and visit The Makery!

What a great experience we had! I was looking for a unique place to host part of a bachelorette party when I was given the idea of the Makery off of Center street. Communicating with the owner, Lindsey, was super easy to work with and she never hesitated to answer any of my questions! The entire party had such a wonderful time, and the individuals running our party room- Hannah and Sonny- were so kind, so cheerful, and so helpful! They helped make this experience special for each one of us. 10/10 would recommend, and 10/10 will be coming back!

We made door hangers and had a great experience. We didn't register ahead and they were great about letting us just show up! There were probably 15 other crafters and the three staff members did a great job circulating throughout, offering tips and technique help. Every project looked so different but turned out amazing! The staff use the glue guns and staple gun to complete your project with a bow, rope to hang it and any extras you might have. Tips: you pay at the end unless you register before online, checkout the online sample shapes because they will give you some ideas, Pinterest search some ideas too, they also have samples hanging all around the room. Pros: the staff, quality of product, instruction, variety of supplies and the fact that the staff finalize the project for you Cons: my door hanger ended up being more than what I could buy it for completed but it was fun making it

The Makery is an amazing place. I have had a great experience every time I have gone in. Today the staff went above and beyond! I came in with my Little for her first trip to The Makery. We had a wonderful time and they helped make her first experience so much fun. I made a mistake on my door sign and since closing time was quickly approaching I decided I would need to come back this week to take time to fix it. Jordan saw that I was close to finishing my sign, but wouldn't have been able to fix it on my own in time. She helped fix my sign even though they were in the process of closing so I could take home my sign today. This was not something she had to do, but I am so appreciative of her kindness. I highly recommend The Makery! They have so many cute and creative options even beyond door signs.

Took my granddaughter here to do a crafting day, and the employees were awesome! Lindsay was fantastic, and had great ideas to help us with our finished craft. Best place to do crafts here in Omaha, hands down! They have so many door hangers to choose from, all different kinds of signs, string art, and even a succulent bar! You can go back so many different times, to try so many different things, and the employees are always so helpful!

Awesome new business in West Omaha! The concept is unique and fills a needed niche. Came here for an event and tried string art for the first time. They have all the supplies you need and are very helpful in providing instruction. They are also accommodating: they had printed out many designs for the event for us to choose from, but more than willing to help you with something else you have in mind. They list events on the website and prices are per person. They are open to new ideas, if you have an inspiration you want to try. Can host birthday parties and private events. I will definitely be coming here again to get my crafting on! Sign up for one of the classes today and give it a try!

Stopped in for open crafting and we all loved all the various options to play with. We've done the painting venues and woodworking venues, which are always fun. But having options is appreciated! The string art is super cool and everyone loves succulents - but there is even more than that! (& Report In Pub is across the lot!)

We went with work and had a blast lots of choices of stuff to make it's like. Pinterest heaven made Welcome door thing very friendly people for sure. I recommend doing this activity with a group.

Absolutely love The Makery! Such a fun and creative space to let out your inner Pinterest goddess. I've taken two classes here (succulent planter and wood wall art) and both have been so much fun. The owner is very friendly and helpful although at times she may be a bit overwhelmed (there's only one of her for 20+ students). She has a very good business going and is constantly adding new classes. She also brings back favorite/sold out classes so everyone gets a chance to attend. I love to craft but find it wasteful to buy all the materials when I will only be making one item and despise the mess/cleanup. This place is perfect for that! Your supplies are included in the class fee and you aren't left cleaning up a huge mess. I look forward to taking more classes!

I took my family in January 2nd for their first visit and they loved it! My kids all did string art and a couple of light catchers. The employees are helpful and friendly, the supplies are well stocked, and the classroom is clean and welcoming. Great place for a family friendly night out - we will be back!

A fantastic new gem to the city of Omaha!! All of your wants and needs of crafts, art classes, and do it yourself projects come to life when you visit the makery! The owner is an absolute doll who's passion and hobby for art can be seen to her dedication and willingness to help anyone and everyone throughout a class. The website has a variety of classes you're able to take on the calendar function.

This place is amazing. I went here with a friend for a girls night & we were both pleasantly surprised by how much we loved the event & the atmosphere. We attended one of the popular "DIY terrarium nights." It cost us $28+ tax (we got $2 off per ticket for RSVPing with more than one person) and all materials and crafting supplies were included in the price- not a single thing cost extra. You could use as much or as little of the trinkets, sand, rocks, plants, etc for the inside of your terrarium (each person gets one glass terrarium- that seemed to be the only limit on what you could/could not take). The event was scheduled to last two hours but we were done in just over an hour & you can leave whenever you're finished. The building itself was a crafter's dream space with wide open space, endless supplies, and a general positive vibe. My only suggestion for future workshops is for the owner/leader to check back in with whole group a couple more times after the beginning with helpful instructions and tips. We were left a little confused at first & had to wait for her to loop back around for individual instruction a couple times. All in all, more than worth the money. Do it. You won't regret it.

We had a wonderful time here at the makery doing succulent planters. We did this as a date night for our anniversary. I even signed up to do it again next month with my mom and sister for my mother's birthday! This time we didn't sign up because it was already full by the time we found out about the event! We called to talk with the employees about whether we could come, and they told us we could show up if it was not busy. It is a come and go event. We showed up early and there were plenty of spots open! Only took us about 15 minutes. I will say we arrived within the first 2 hours of the event, and others behind us were disappointed that we had taken the last of some of the planters. If you have a particular item in mind that you want to use if it is unique, show up early! My only suggestion is more interaction from the owner as we were left a bit confused when we started and expected more direction and assistance.

So fun!! I brought my nanny kids and we spent a good 2.5 hours here making string art, door hangers, and a quote sign. They loved it and the ladies in there were so helpful and hands on. The final products looked great and the kiddos were so excited to show their parents their masterpieces! We will definitely come back.

Such a fun place! I definitely plan on going there again! They also have some pre-made art for sale that would make great gifts!

The Makery is fun, but limited project scope. It also has strange hours and closes for Private Parties so going there can't be a spur of the moment decision. Always check their calendar to see if 1) they are open 2) if you HAVE to make a door hanger and 3) are they closed for a private party. I guess the owner is making plenty of money as is, but we are heading to Create in Elkhorn for a more spur of the moment night out with my friends!
