Design & decorate your own keepsake box for your treasured things.

In this creative school holiday workshop, kids will design and decorate their own keepsake box using fabric, trims and decoupage techniques.

Each participant will receive a pre-made wooden box, which they’ll transform into a personalised piece using a curated selection of fabrics, ribbons and decorative trims. They’ll carefully layer and adhere materials to both the outside and inside of their box, creating something that feels thoughtful, unique and completely their own.

With guidance throughout the process, kids will learn how to combine colours, patterns and textures in a way that feels balanced and cohesive—resulting in a finished piece they can use to store jewellery, treasures or special keepsakes.

This workshop is perfect for kids who enjoy hands-on making and working with beautiful materials, and who like to take their time creating something a little more detailed.

What they will learn:

• How to use decoupage techniques with fabric
• How to layer and apply materials neatly to a surface
• How to combine colours, patterns and textures
• How to finish and assemble a decorative object

What to Bring:

🥪 A packed lunch, snacks, and a water bottle
🚫 Please avoid sending foods containing nuts
🩳 Wear old clothes—things might get messy!

Cancellation Policy: Due to the seasonal nature of this workshop it can not be cancelled or rescheduled. You are welcome to send someone else in your place if you can't make it on the day. In most of our workshops we require a minimum number of people to run the workshop and will do our absolute best to run every workshop we list but occasionally it is not commercially feasible to do so.
