The appeal here is simple: you get to turn an image you like into a handmade tufted artwork at a Johor Bahru studio. You choose from five sizes, send your design ahead, and get staff help as you work, a practical setup for a first try.
I like two things about this workshop: the size choices let you match the project to your budget, and staff are described as patient and willing to help tidy up a design. The clean, comfortable studio setting also makes this a pleasant change of pace from the usual shopping and sightseeing.
One thing to plan around: your finished piece may differ from the image you had in mind, and cancellations or refunds are not allowed. The smallest package is a 15-by-15-centimeter artwork, so check the dimensions before booking if you are expecting a large rug.

A hands-on break from Johor Bahru’s usual plans
Tufting gives you a different kind of souvenir: instead of buying an object made by someone else, you make a custom piece yourself. Forever Twenty DIY Studio pitches the activity as beginner-friendly, and the minimum age is 10. That makes it a possible outing for friends or families with older children, provided everyone is happy to work on a handmade project rather than expect a factory-perfect result.
The studio does not ask you to invent a design from scratch once you arrive. You provide an image in advance, and the operator draws its outline ahead of time. That small step matters. It gives you a starting point and lets you spend your session making the artwork, rather than trying to sketch a design on the spot.
The workshop is an activity, not a guided city tour. There is no sightseeing route or list of stops to cover. The main event is the studio time: select a size, work on your own tufted design, and ask staff for help when you need it.

Picking a size that suits your plan
The listed sizes are 15 x 15, 30 x 30, 40 x 40, 50 x 50, and 70 x 70 cm. Those steps give you room to decide whether you want a small first project or a larger piece with more presence. The price rises with size, so it is worth settling on a budget before you choose.
The smallest option is a useful way to test whether tufting suits you. But if you are picturing something that will make a noticeable mark in a room, 15 x 15 cm may feel more like a sample artwork than a full rug. The 30 x 30 or 50 x 50 cm options offer more working area, while the 70 x 70 cm size is the largest listed and the most expensive.
The studio describes tufting as adding warmth and durability to a home. Still, the practical value depends on the finished piece and how you plan to use it. The activity information does not specify how the artwork is finished, how long it takes, or whether there are care instructions, so ask the studio if you have a particular use in mind.
What to expect from the workshop
Before you go, choose an image and send it to the operator so the outline can be prepared. This is your best chance to make the session feel personal. A simple image may be easier to follow than one with many small details, though the studio does not set out any design rules. If you are unsure whether your image will work, ask when you reserve.
At the studio, you work on the design using the materials provided. The package includes all necessary materials, and the staff are there to explain the process and check how your work is coming along. If you are new to tufting, that guidance is valuable. It means you do not have to figure out every part of the activity alone.
The most useful kind of help is practical: staff can point out areas to improve and touch up the design with you. That can take some pressure off a first attempt, especially if you are not used to making things by hand. At the same time, it remains your artwork, and the final result can vary. Go in ready to enjoy the making, not to demand an exact copy of your reference image.
The studio is described as clean, comfortable, and relaxed. There are also other activities at the Austin Crest location, though no details are provided about what they are. If you want to pair tufting with something else, ask the branch directly rather than assuming those options will fit your schedule.
Austin Crest or Eco Galleria?
Both branches have the same five tufting sizes listed. The full address provided is for Forever Twenty DIY Studio at Austin Crest: 51-02, Jalan Jaya Putra 7/6, Bandar Jaya Putra, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta’zim. Check your voucher carefully before setting out, particularly if you selected Eco Galleria, since its address is not included in the supplied activity details.
The studio is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. You need to arrange a time directly with the branch using its reservation channels on your voucher. Call +60143825686 and give the staff your Klook booking ID to secure a slot. If your preferred time is full, staff can suggest another.
This is a useful detail to handle before you build the workshop into a packed day. A voucher is valid only for the specified date and time, if a time is shown, and a booking confirmation should arrive within minutes. If you do not see one, contact customer support.
What the price buys
The package prices supplied start at US$31.39 for the 15 x 15 cm option, then rise to US$33.85 for 30 x 30 cm, US$41.19 for 40 x 40 cm, US$48.55 for 50 x 50 cm, and US$58.35 for 70 x 70 cm. Those prices apply at both Austin Crest and Eco Galleria. The overall summary also gives a starting price of US$34.50, so treat the amount as variable and check the exact total for your chosen branch, date, and size before paying.
Value here is about more than the material cost. You are paying for the chance to try a craft with the equipment and supplies provided, plus staff support while you work. If you have wanted to try tufting but do not own the tools, a studio session avoids buying equipment for a one-off experiment.
The 15 x 15 cm option is the lowest-cost choice, but it also gives you the least space. If the point is to make something useful at home, compare the larger sizes before booking. The 50 x 50 cm package costs more, but gives you a broader working area; the right choice depends on whether you value a lower entry price or a bigger finished artwork.
Booking details worth checking
The activity is open to participants aged 10 and older. The supplied information does not give a duration, group size, or details about accessibility, so contact the studio if any of those would affect your plans. Ask about the expected session length in particular if you need to coordinate transport or other activities.
Changes made at least 48 hours before the activity are free. Rescheduling can only be moved to normal weekdays, and the voucher is tied to its stated date and time. The terms also say that cancellations and refunds are not available, so choose your size and time carefully before confirming.
The final artwork is handmade, and specific results are not guaranteed. That is not a reason to avoid the activity, but it is a reason to keep your design manageable and your expectations flexible. The best outcome is a piece you made yourself, not necessarily a flawless match to a picture on your phone.
Is this the right Johor Bahru activity for you?
I would put Forever Twenty DIY Studio on the shortlist if you want a creative outing, enjoy making things, or are looking for an activity to share with friends. The patient staff support is a real plus for beginners, and the range of sizes lets you choose a small trial or a more substantial project. The clean, comfortable studio also sounds like a welcome place to spend time indoors.
I would think twice if you need a guaranteed finished look, want a large rug at the lowest price, or have a schedule that cannot bend around a booked slot. The small package is just 15 x 15 cm, outcomes can vary, and there are no cancellations or refunds. If those limits suit you, choose your image and size, reserve directly with the branch, and enjoy the pleasure of making something by hand.
