About this Event
Beadwork 101: Heart Keychain Workshop
Thursday, February 26th 6-9PM
Come hang out for a cozy evening of beading, snacks, and community ✨
We’ll be creating heart shaped flat stitch beaded keychains.
I’ll guide you through the flat stitch process step by step, so no experience is needed. You’ll leave with a finished piece (handmade by you!) and all the skills to keep beading on your own. Whether you’re a first-time beader or looking to deepen your craft, this is a relaxed, supportive space to learn, create, and connect.
🎟️ Tickets

Your ticket includes:
- A personalized beading kit with everything you’ll need
seed beads, keychain parts, leather backing, felt, needles, bead mat, travel kit, and a printed template designed by me - Shared tools and extra supplies

Sliding scale pricing helps keep beading accessible while still honouring the time, energy, and materials that go into each workshop. The true value of this experience is $65 + HST — please pay what feels appropriate for you 💖
