Fabric recycling – A workshop for Seniors
February 28, 2017 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
FABRIC UPCYCLING WORKSHOP FOR 55+
Reduse, Reuse & Recycle – The three words may be the mantra of many a eco-conscious soul now but they actually came naturally to the older generation,when nothing was discarded until it has been mended, altered or turned into something new.
Bring back the joy of recycling & up-cycling with our workshop! Turn your old dupatta into a bag or a useful folder and take back ideas for creating beauty through upcycling.
Revive the joy of recycling with our Fabric Upcycle Workshop, specially crafted for 55+, brought to you by Silver Talkies, the online magazine and engagement platform for 55+.
You need to carry an old cotton stole or dupatta (in a good condition). Other supportive art/craft material will be provided in a take-away Do-It- Yourself Kit.
