Eco-Friendly Craft Class: Make Stylish Fabric Jewelry

About this Experience

What you'll do:

Join us for a fun and creative workshop where you can learn how to make unique jewelry pieces from upcycled materials. Get ready to unleash your creativity and design one-of-a-kind accessories while also helping the environment by repurposing items. This in-person event is perfect for anyone interested in sustainable fashion and DIY projects. Don't miss out on this opportunity to create beautiful jewelry with a twist!

Create as many earrings, pendants, zipper pulls or bookmarks as you like from a huge assortment of discarded upholstery samples and beautiful second-hand fabric, including velvet, linen, and both faux and genuine leather. Use one of the dozens of templates provided or create your own design. Embellish your creation with a huge selection of second-hand beads and jewelry pieces. The only limit is your imagination!

All skill levels are welcome. Your instructor, Jessica, will be there to provide guidance and technical assistance for every step. All findings and tools will be provided (including clip-on earrings). The party usually runs 2 hours.

Why we love it for your party:

  • It’s eco-friendly fun (Everyone gets to create something beautiful while giving discarded materials a second life)

  • Totally hands-on and creative (No two pieces will ever be the same, so every guest leaves with something one-of-a-kind)

  • Perfect for all skill levels (With expert guidance from Jessica, even beginners can make something stunning)

  • A crafty social vibe (Chat, sip, and design together in a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere)

  • Instant keepsakes (Everyone goes home with custom jewelry they actually want to wear or gift)
