Last Minute Gift Workshop

Materials: Pre-made kits will be available at each station.  Each kit contains the materials needed for one pair of earrings.

Tampa Bead Cafe will host a workshop for easy gifts for those last few people on your holiday list.  Numerous stations will be set up, each showcasing a variety of earring styles created by Tampa Bead Cafe’s unique teaching staff.

At each station, students will pick out the kit(s) they desire to make.  Teachers will provide in store instruction to assemble the earrings.

Once students have finished their last minute earring gifts, they will proceed to the gift wrap station.  Here, students may choose from ready-made gift wrap or more decorative gift wrap for that special handmade touch.  Voila!  A last minute gift made, wrapped, and ready to give!

Cost: Individual costs will vary by kit style,  with the average cost about $15 per kit.  Each teacher has a unique limited number of pre-assembled kits, so show up early to have the best pick!
