You know how some of ’em get weak in the knees for shoes, and others can’t resist a cheese board? Well, for some of us (hey, guilty!), it’s Labubu. That wide-eyed, fluffy-tailed little mischief-maker has burrowed his way into our hearts, and now, our social calendar. Because folks, Dubai is having a full-blown Labubu moment. And it’s not just one cutesy event. Heck no! It’s an avalanche of cream-smothered crafts, glitter-drenched DIYs, and a tea party that’s one tantrum away from a Wes Anderson scene. Buckle up. Things are about to get adorably unhinged.
Labubu Mirror Workshop
Let’s start strong: you can now make your very own Labubu mirror, complete with frothy whipping cream details (yes, that’s a thing) and tiny Labubu charms clinging on like emotional support gremlins. Enough to make your heart squeak! It’s like dessert… but make it decor. And for once in your life, you’ll find yourself obsessing over the back of the mirror instead of the front. Why? Because it’s got Labubu on it, duh. Who needs self-reflection when you’ve got a fluffy-tailed troublemaker staring back at you? This workshop is happening daily at MoFun Studio, Jumeirah during their opening hours. All you need to do is dial them up and book your spot or slide into their DMs; @mofunstudio – that’s their handle! Oh, and the mirror would cost AED 88, in case you were wondering.
UAE’s First Ever Labubu Pouring
So, this, my dear readers is, Labubu pouring art, a.k.a. the moment acrylic paint and kawaii dreams collide. Basically, you pour rainbow swirls all over a Labubu – yup, drench the little guy and label it art (and it is). Spots are super limited at Meraki Art Studio, so move faster than your last online cart checkout. Or risk watching your spot vanish faster than the viral Labubu herself!
Painting on Tote Bags
Fancy wearing a Labubu on your sleeve? Then, you need to head to BMBK, Al Ain for the Labubu Tote Bag Painting Workshop! Forget designer logos, real style is hand-painted Labubu on a canvas tote.

Warning: you will be stopped in public by people demanding, “OMG, where did you get that?!”
Labubu Amigurumi
If your idea of fun includes tiny yarn balls and that one smug moment where you go “I made this,” then this course is your destiny. You’ll learn to crochet Labubu’s cheeky little face, stitch on those iconic features, and finish it off with a keychain attachment you’ll instantly want to attach to keys (note to self – get duplicate keys for house, so I can attach these adorable keychains). Classes run every Monday and Thursday at BMBK, Al Ain, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, starting June 2. It’s AED 500 for four glorious sessions (+ 5% VAT), all materials included.
