Waste to Wonder: Upcycled Christmas Charms & Ornaments Workshop

Join Charkha & Loom and Fifth Origins for a cozy, creative afternoon of slow craft, connection, and mindful holiday making.

In a world of mass-produced seasonal decor, we’re inviting you to slow down and create meaningful holiday treasures from repurposed handloom textiles and luxury fabric offcuts. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn simple textile techniques to transform fabric waste into beautiful, hand-stitched Christmas tree ornaments, bag charms, and festive gift accents.

Whether you're looking to make personalized gifts, decorate your home with sustainable charm, or simply unwind with a hot drink and good company, this workshop is the perfect festive retreat.

✨ What You’ll Make

You’ll leave with 2 to 3 bespoke, hand-crafted ornaments or multi-use charms (perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree, styling on your favorite tote bag, or gifting to loved ones).
