Here’s what we’d do

Use plain bags people already own where possible and choose materials intended for the fabric. Start with a small design so finishing doesn't consume the whole evening. Explain any drying or setting instructions before people commit to taking a bag home.

How to make it happen

Go at your own pace.

  1. Before inviting

    Choose the practical details

    Check fabric and product compatibility and protect the table.

  2. The shared part

    Give the activity room

    Sketch designs on paper first, then decorate with the recommended method.

  3. A good ending

    Finish at the agreed pace

    Follow drying instructions and pack bags without transferring wet material.
