Braided Rug Workshop; Upcycle your Old Clothes! December 11th ~ 6pm to 9pm
🧶 Braided Rug Workshop — A Cozy 3-Hour Upcycling Adventure!
Fun for all ages — perfect for parents and kids!
Get ready for a warm, creative, and delightfully scrappy workshop where we transform well-loved fabrics into beautiful braided rugs. In this three-hour class, you and your kiddo (or a crafty friend!) will team up for a fun, hands-on upcycling project that’s as practical as it is charming.
No experience needed—just bring a sense of curiosity, a willingness to try something new, and a few old clothes, sheets, or fabric odds and ends you’re ready to give a second life. Think worn-out jeans, outgrown dresses, retired t-shirts… if it’s soft and washable, it can become part of your rug!
In this cozy 3-hour session, you’ll learn how to:
-
Prepare and tear fabric strips from upcycled materials
-
Create smooth, consistent braids
-
Coil and stitch your braid into the beginning of a sturdy rug
-
Play with color and texture to make your rug uniquely you
You’ll leave with your rug started, your hands happily tired, and all the know-how you need to continue at home.
This workshop is relaxed, chatty, and welcoming—picture an old-school making circle with a modern, sustainable twist. It’s a great way to spend creative time together, learn a new skill, and turn memories (and old clothes!) into something functional and full of heart.
Bring: a few pieces of clothing, sheets, or other soft fabric to upcycle
We provide: tools, extra fabric, guidance, and plenty of encouragement
Come braid, laugh, upcycle, and make something cozy together!
