Make it: Party Accessories photo
Get curious and creative with Make its! These monthly workshops are for families to explore what it means to be a designer!   

This Make it invites your family to make fun shiny accessories using discarded balloon strings and foil balloons. Led by artist Hannah Wild, get inspired by the Cartier exhibition and the Museum’s collection to create your own party accessory. 

Families will leave with new skills and ideas on how to use party materials such as ribbons and balloons to make shiny jewellery and creative accessories. 

All materials will be provided, all sourced sustainably.  
No previous experience is necessary, just come along and join in. 
 
Materials will be allocated to the children within your group. Adults will be working together with their children.
