Sparkle & Sip: Bling a Thing at Thirstville
Give your favourite accessories a dazzling new life at this fun and creative Sparkle & Sip workshop in Marrickville!
Join professional costume and embellishment designer Liz from Dizzielizness for an afternoon of creativity, good company, and sparkling embellishments at the cosy Thirstville Bottleshop & Bar.
Bring along an item you'd love to transform—think sneakers, hats, handbags, sunglasses, phone cases, or almost anything that could use a little extra sparkle. You'll learn how to embellish your piece with high-quality rhinestones, pearls, and crystals to create a one-of-a-kind design that's uniquely yours.
Whether you're planning a girls' day out, a hens party, a creative date, celebrating a birthday, or simply looking for a relaxing weekend activity, this beginner-friendly workshop is all about having fun while making something you'll be excited to show off.
No experience is necessary. Liz will guide you through the design process, demonstrate professional embellishment techniques, and help bring your vision to life.
During the workshop you'll:
  • Learn professional embellishment techniques used in costume design
  • Design and customise your own unique piece
  • Work with a beautiful selection of rhinestones, pearls, and decorative embellishments
  • Receive guidance every step of the way
  • Leave with a beautifully personalised item and the confidence to keep creating
All embellishment materials, tools, and adhesives are provided. Simply bring along one item you'd like to decorate and we'll supply the sparkle! If you're not sure what to bling, there will be items available to purchase on the day that you can decorate.

Come for the drinks, stay for the creativity, and leave with something truly one of a kind.

I’m Liz and I am a costume and jewellery designer. I’ve loved making beaded jewellery for over twenty years. Learning new crafts and using my hands brings me endless joy and cheers me up on a bad day. I would love to be able to show how hand crafts soothe the soul and mind and for some of us is integral to our mental health.
