About the event

This upcycling workshop shows children and adults how to turn old advertising banners into sturdy mini-wallets. You’ll cut weatherproof tarpaulin material to size, fold it into perfectly fitting compartments and press in sturdy rivets. Create a colourful, one-of-a-kind piece with no prior experience required, and discover just how much fun upcycling can be.
