On the search for unique Perth activities? Learn how to make your own Japanese-style paper cord earrings with Az from Happy JP Designs using the art of Mizuhiki!
Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese art, using a Mizuhiki paper cord. Yes, they are made of paper! The core of the Mizuhiki cord is twisted paper and then dyed or wrapped with coloured thread, then knotted into shapes.
This technique has been used for centuries for gift giving decorations including gorgeous engagement gifts, and for gift money envelopes. It is even used to tie a Samurai’s and Sumo wrestler’s top knot!
In this fun class, you'll learn how to tie basic knots (two types of knots) that will transform simple Mizuhiki cords into two pairs of beautiful earrings that you can take home. The first pair (very basic knot) and the second pair (one more step than the first pair) are two different designs.
The kit has stainless steel ear hooks and loops for two pairs but if you don't have pierced ears, you can add on stainless steel clip-on earrings when you book.
Az will demonstrate how the Mizuhiki cord is used to produce gift giving for special occasions. Tying knots has lots of symbolic meanings in Japanese culture, such as "tie the knot" "heart to heart" "appreciation of your kindness" "congratulations" and so on. So they are also perfect gift ideas for weddings, paper anniversaries (first wedding anniversary) and to give to close friends.
Mizuhiki items are not only beautiful to wear but also very light and strong. It is very easy to wear these earrings for long hours without having sore ears. Come along and make some beautiful earrings with us!
*Please note that the venue has 60m long walk way from the street entrance and there are stairs. It is in South Perth near Royal Perth Gold Club and the exact location will be advised after your booking is completed.
This class is great for a team building activity, birthday or hens party.
South Perth, WA

Show map   Hi, I'm Az. I'm an Interior Designer and a Japanese Mizuhiki artist.
What is Japanese Mizuhiki art?
Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese paper cord used originally for special occasions, such as engagement gifts from the groom's family to the bride's family, and for gift money envelopes. Yes, they are made of paper. The core of Mizuhiki cord is twisted paper and then dyed or wrapped with coloured thread, then knotted into shapes. It is also used to tie a Samurai’s and Sumo wrestler’s top knot! Today we use it for making jewellery and other beautiful objects.
I moved from Canberra to Perth in January 2023, and now my new art activities will be refreshed and am seeking further goals to share with more people. "Tie the knots" I also sell items from my Etsy store under the name happyJPdesigns.
