Make & Carry – Canvas Bag Decorating Social

Fancy starting your Sunday morning with colour, texture, and pure creative joy? Join us for Tote‑ally Creative - a mixed‑media tote bag decorating social where you’ll design and decorate your very own canvas tote using a wide range of materials.
This session is all about experimenting, exploring, and having fun. Whether you want something bold and bright, soft and minimal, or quirky and chaotic - you’ll have everything you need to bring your ideas to life!
💜 What we’ll be doing 💜

You’ll start with a blank canvas tote bag and transform it using a gorgeous mix of materials, including:
- Fabric & Acrylic paints
- Pens & Markers
- Embroidery threads & Yarn
- Ribbons & trims
- Patterned fabrics & patches
- Beads & sequins
- Stencils & stamps
- Glue guns & fabric glue
- Buttons, charms, and other embellishments

(If you have something special you’d love to add - feel free to bring it along!)
💜 What to expect 💜
- A fun, relaxed, social atmosphere
- A welcoming space to play with materials and try new ideas
- Guidance and inspiration if you want it, freedom if you don’t
- A tote bag you’ll decorate and take home
- Plenty of time to chat and create
💜 Who it’s for 💜
Anyone who loves getting creative, trying new materials, or simply wants a fun, hands‑on session with lovely people! No experience needed - just come ready to make something uniquely yours!
💜 Why you’ll love it 💜
It’s creative, it’s playful, it’s practical - and you’ll leave with a tote bag you can actually use, gift, or proudly show off.
💜 Ticket price 💜
