Key to My Heart - Beginner Beading Workshop

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.

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
• Three hours of instruction and guidance

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 💖

I use Pay What You Can (PWYC) pricing to keep workshops accessible. Choose the option that fits your situation:

• STANDARD ($65)
• PAY45 ($45): Low-income with some family support or disposable income, unable to attend otherwise.
• PAY25 ($25): Low-income, no savings, minimal disposable income, unable to attend otherwise.
• SPONSORED (FREE): These tickets are available for folks who are low-income, no savings, minimal disposable income, unable to attend otherwise. Email [email protected] to claim a spot, pending availability based on donations. No explanation necessary.
• PAY IT FORWARD ($65+): Pay it forward and help keep this business sustainable while making space for others to attend.
