DIY Workshop: Mache Magic Gift Boxes

Get in touch with your crafty side this summer with monthly DIY workshops! Create unique and inspired items to enjoy yourself, to give as gifts, or to donate for a great cause! Samples, tools, and supplies will be included in each of these FREE workshops. Attendees are invited to make one item to keep at each workshop, and then may make additional items to donate towards our Holiday Arts Market fundraiser. Use an array of vibrant paper pieces, napkins, and upcycled paper cut-outs to turn plain cardboard gift boxes into special creations. All supplies and tools will be provided.

Donations of specific good-condition new or gently-used items we’ll use for these crafts are welcome:

  • Various glass receptacles including small and medium jars, tea cups, tea tins, small vases (for faux flower arrangements)
  • Fancy paper napkins, mache paper, origami paper, tissue paper
  • Flower picks or faux succulents
