Handmade with Love: Gifts from the Heart

Handmade with Love: Gifts from the Heart

Imagine your child spending an afternoon in a studio filled with colors, fabrics, beads, and bows—surrounded by friends, music, and the freedom to create whatever speaks to them. On Thursday, October 23rd, 1:30–4:30 p.m., our downtown studio will transform into a playground of fashion and creativity, where elementary students design gifts that are as unique as the person they’re making them for.

Whether it’s a tote bag embroidered with love, a handwritten gratitude note tucked inside a handmade pouch, a sparkling backpack charm with their initial, or a piece of button jewelry—every project carries meaning, intention, and joy. Kids will follow their curiosity, express themselves freely, and leave with wrapped treasures ready to delight a parent, teacher, or friend.

Schedule

  • 1:30–2:00 p.m. | Arrival, mingling, and choosing materials from each station.
  • 2:00–4:00 p.m. | Hands-on creating across multiple stations (sewing and embroidery, button and beaded jewelry, textile collage holiday cards, backpack charms, and more).
  • 4:00–4:30 p.m. | Final touches, gift wrapping, and tying everything up with a bow.

This afternoon is designed for kids who love fashion, art, and the freedom to do things their way. Our studio is an inclusive, welcoming space where every student can create something that represents their love, gratitude, and individuality. Here, we celebrate that artistic freedom is a human right—and every child leaves with at least one gift made by hand, with love.

✨ A safe space. A joyful experience. A meaningful gift made by hand—with love. ✨
