Happy Hippo Life LLC

Happy Hippo is a small DIY arts & crafts studio in Irvine, created as a “third space” — somewhere between home and work where you can slow down, relax, and just enjoy making something with your hands. We offer a variety of hands-on activities like candle making, decoden, beading, and perler beads. There’s no pressure to be perfect — it’s more about taking a break, focusing on something simple, and letting your mind rest for a while. A lot of people come in not just to do crafts, but to unwind, spend time with friends or family, or just have a quiet moment to themselves. It’s a calm, welcoming space where you can step away from the busy day and feel a little more grounded. We also host small parties and group gatherings, so people can connect, create, and leave with something they made themselves.
