About this Event

Let's sip, stitch, and be(ad) merry!
Join Heart & Craft at Les Sardines for a festive, creative holiday gathering where we're putting a sparkly spin on a holiday tradition: handmade ornaments!

Using a curated collection of colorful beads, sequins, pearls, and glittering embellishments, you'll learn the art of beaded embroidery while creating a one-of-a-kind ornament worthy of becoming a treasured holiday heirloom.

Choose from three festive templates:

  • Born to Bead Wild - A colorful, statement-making star
  • Frosted Flake - A playful, pastel-hued snowflake with plenty of sparkle.
  • My Swan & Only - An elegant, pearly swan with a little extra holiday flair.

This beginner-friendly workshop will guide you through the techniques needed to bring your ornament to life. We'll crack open some bottles (and NA beverages too!), graze on heavy charcuterie, and enjoy a little creative connection along the way.

And because good things take time (especially when they're covered in sequins and beads!), you'll leave with everything you need to continue crafting beyond the workshop.


Your Ticket Includes:
  • Three hours of guided, beginner-friendly beaded embroidery instruction
  • All materials to create one custom holiday ornament
  • A curated selection of beads, sequins, pearls, and embellishments
  • A take-home crafting kit to continue creating beyond the workshop
  • A printed guide filled with tips, tricks, and step-by-step tutorials
  • Festive sips and heavy charcuterie

🎟️ Limited to just 16 guests!

Please note: Beaded embroidery is a wonderfully detailed, slow-crafted art form. Guests will learn foundational techniques and begin creating their ornaments during the workshop, with materials and instructions to continue crafting at home.
