Workshop: Embroidering on Felt – Create Your Own Ornaments
Join a creative 2.5‑hour workshop where you’ll learn how to embroider on felt. During this session, you’ll make a unique felt ornament that you can design for Christmas or any other festive occasion.
We provide a variety of sample patterns for inspiration, but you’re also welcome to design your own ornament. Whether you follow an example or let your imagination run free – the choice is yours.
This workshop is perfect for beginners, but it’s also a great opportunity for more experienced makers to try out a new technique. No prior experience is required.
Let your creativity flow and take home a handmade ornament to cherish or gift to someone special.
