Kids Decoupage Keepsake Box Workshop (Ages 8–12)

Design and decorate your own keepsake box for your treasured things.



8 to 12 years     6 hours Class size 6 to 12 guests       $135 (PayPal Pay in 4 available)

In this creative school holiday workshop, kids will design and decorate their own keepsake box using fabric, trims, and decoupage techniques.
Each participant will receive a pre-made wooden box, which they’ll transform into a personalised piece using a curated selection of fabrics, ribbons, and decorative trims. They’ll carefully layer and adhere materials to both the outside and inside of their box, creating something that feels thoughtful, unique, and completely their own.
With guidance throughout the process, kids will learn how to combine colours, patterns, and textures in a way that feels balanced and cohesive—resulting in a finished piece they can use to store jewellery, treasures, or special keepsakes.
This workshop is perfect for kids who enjoy hands-on making and working with beautiful materials, and who like to take their time creating something a little more detailed.
What Kids Will Learn:
  • How to use decoupage techniques with fabric
  • How to layer and apply materials neatly to a surface
  • How to combine colours, patterns, and textures
  • How to finish and assemble a decorative object
Why Your Kids Will Love It:
This workshop is perfect for kids who love choosing their own colours, patterns, and textures and bringing everything together into something uniquely theirs. With a wide selection of fabrics, trims, and design options, every box will look completely different.
It’s also a really satisfying project to work on, transforming a simple wooden box into something special that feels personal, thoughtful, and worth keeping. Whether they use it for jewellery, little treasures, or special keepsakes, it’s something they’ll be proud to take home and use.

Creating balance with creativity & connection

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
