Tufting Workshop Melbourne: DIY Home Decor

What you'll do

Join this tufting class in Melbourne and learn how to create unique home decor projects!This workshop is designed for beginners, offering you a chance to try tufting on smaller projects as a taster class before committing to our longer Tufting Workshop of 3.5hrs to complete more detailed and larger projects like rugs, large mirrors or large wall art.In this taster class you can, choose from a variety of home decor options such as:

• A fluffy mirror frame
• A textured vase
• Crazy cool journal cover
• Wall art or home decor
• Keyboard rugs
• Pen holders
• Photo frame
• Keyrings
• A luscious mug rug to take home with you or gift to someone special

To ensure you finish your project the size of your creation should be 30cm square or less and we will assist you in the design stage to make sure it will be something enjoyable to tuft. During the workshop, you’ll receive guidance on using the equipment and materials while creating something amazing.
