&lt;p&gt;Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop where kids and teens will make something both cozy and personalized! We&amp;rsquo;ll begin the class by&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;pouring custom candles&lt;/strong&gt;, choosing from a variety of scents and learning the basics of candle making. While the candles set, participants will dive into&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;embroidery&lt;/strong&gt;, adding fun floral designs and decorative accents to an item they bring from home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our instructors will guide each student step-by-step through embroidery techniques, including how to stitch flowers, patterns, and creative details onto&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;jean pockets, beanie hats, tote bags, or other fabric items&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;of their choice. No prior experience is needed&amp;mdash;this class is perfect for beginners and curious creators alike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
