Beads, Bows & Balms: DIY Lip Balm Keychains!
Looking for a creative win that’s cute, useful, and a little bit of self-care? This hands-on workshop is exactly that.
In Beads, Bows & Balms, you’ll design and make your own beaded bow lip balm keychain from scratch. Choose your colours, build your bow, attach your lip balm, and leave with a finished accessory you’ll genuinely use. A small but satisfying reminder to take care of yourself, Valentine’s Day or otherwise.
This is a relaxed, low-pressure session designed for all skill levels. No crafting experience needed. You’ll be guided step by step, with plenty of inspo, colour combos and sample designs to help you get started.
It’s social, tactile, and intentionally screen-free. Come solo for a bit of “me time”, bring a friend, or make it a cute creative group hang.
What to expect:
• Design and bead your own bow keychain
• All tools and materials provided
• Lip balms supplied (or bring your own if you prefer – you’ll still take the provided one home)
• Friendly guidance throughout
• A finished, functional accessory to take home
Who it’s for:
• Teens and adults – bring friends, come as a group, or treat yourself
• People who love crafting and cute, aesthetic accessories
• ADHD / overstimulated brains wanting a calm, finishable creative win
• Anyone who says “I’m not creative” but low-key wants to be
(Creativity is something you do, not something you are)
Two sessions available on the day:
• 10:30am–12:30pm
• 1:00pm–3:00pm
Spaces are limited to 12 spots a session, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
Come make something adorable. Leave with lip balm where you can actually find it.
A very chill way to show yourself a little love this Valentine’s Day.
