April 21, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
FreeCelebrate Earth Day by joining us for a hands-on workshop where creativity meets sustainability. Learn how to transform everyday materials—like old magazines and scrap paper—into stunning handmade beads. These vibrant beads create a unique and stylish backpack tassel, adding a personal, eco-friendly touch to your accessories.
In this workshop:
Discover the step-by-step process of rolling, shaping, and sealing paper beads.
Gain insights into sustainable crafting practices and how upcycling reduces waste.
Walk away with a beautiful, handmade tassel that’s as functional as it is meaningful.
Whether you’re an avid crafter or a curious beginner, this workshop is the perfect way to explore your creativity while contributing to a more sustainable future. Let’s craft with purpose and style.
All materials are provided, but feel free to bring magazines or colorful paper to repurpose.
This program is intended for ages 8+. Young children must be able to complete the task independently or with their caregiver.
