Laugh Your Craft Off: Trinket Box Workshop

Learn how to make small, colorful trinket boxes using only plastic canvas and string! We will cover a few simple hand sewing techniques and use scissors, plastic canvas, string, and tapestry needles. You will spend most of the class designing and building your own box. This workshop is about color, structure, sewing, and the pleasure of making something tangible. Whether plastic canvas feels nostalgic or brand new, come experiment!
