The Good Stuff
Practical workshop
The Cricut experience workshop taught attendees to make transfers on a glass bottle and create iron-ons.
Hard-to-find items
One customer found Mod Podge dimensional magic and E6000 at the shop after looking in many other places.
Helpful advice
A customer found the exact item needed and received a recommendation for a better option for the project.
Child-friendly
The shop has been described as suitable for both adults and children, making it useful for family craft shopping.
Useful tools

Personal service
Customers describe staff as friendly and accommodating, including help with a scrapbook order and home delivery arrangements.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check stock. Call before travelling to confirm a specific item is available; one customer checked Mont Marte oils paint before making the trip.
Find the entrance. Look inside the perfume shop rather than for a standalone craft storefront.
Check prices. Confirm the shelf or online price at checkout, since one review reports a 30–40 dirham difference.
Inspect seals. Before paying, check paint and medium containers: a customer received opened acrylic and gesso, plus dried Distress Oxide.
Allow time. Build in extra time for the shopping complex: one visitor mentioned difficulty finding parking and reaching the shop.
Ask about workshops. If you want instruction, ask about Cricut workshops covering glass-bottle transfers and iron-ons.

Common Concerns
Very small
Recent reviews describe the current shop as tiny, with only a few aisles of craft items.
Limited variety

Hard to find
The shop is inside a perfume store, so first-time visitors may struggle to spot it.
Photo mismatch
A review says the displayed photos appeared old and showed a different location, making the selection look larger than it was.
Price discrepancies

The Bottom Line
Creative Crafts is a small scrapbooking and arts-and-crafts shop in Al Jafiliya, with supplies for painting, paper projects, handcrafting and DIY work. It is especially worth considering if you use Cricut equipment: customers mention Cricut materials, the Joy Xtra, Mug Press and heat press, as well as a workshop that covered glass-bottle transfers and iron-ons. The range appears stronger for some craft categories than others.
Visitors have found acrylic paint, professional tools, Mod Podge dimensional magic and E6000, and one customer located a hard-to-find item after searching around Dubai. The shop has also been described as suitable for adults and children. Staff are often praised for friendly, knowledgeable help, scrapbook-order assistance and delivery support.
Set expectations around the visit. Recent reviews describe only a few aisles, with hit-or-miss stock and limited watercolor variety. The shop is inside Essence Perfume and can be difficult to spot; older online photos may not reflect the current setup.
Call ahead for a specific product, especially if travelling a long distance, and confirm the price at checkout because one review reported a 30–40 dirham discrepancy. It is also worth checking seals on paints and mediums before paying.
