Creative upcycling workshop: Your individual advent calendar made from old jeans
In this special workshop, with the support of textile artists Merve and Rebecca, you will design your very own advent calendar — sustainable, creative and absolutely unique! All without a sewing machine and in a relaxed atmosphere.
Rethinking old jeans
Bring your favorite old jeans or use the fabrics we have prepared for you. We'll show you how you can use them to create beautiful advent calendars with bags in various sizes — perfect for small and big surprises, whether for children or for yourself.
Design bags without sewing
The best part: You don't need a sewing machine! We work with textile glue and decorative hand stitches to attach the pockets directly to the jeans. This gives your calendar a very personal and handmade touch — without complicated techniques.
Even without jeans — make your own bags
Not enough jeans on hand? No problem! In this workshop, you can also make your own bags from other materials and design them freely. Rebecca and Merve help you to combine the fabrics so that they match your advent calendar perfectly.
Sustainable and individual
The calendar that you create in this workshop will not only be sustainable, but also truly unique — in line with your style and ideas. You give old materials a new life and create something that will be enjoyed for a long time.
Get creative together
Merve and Rebecca will guide you through the entire process and provide you with creative ideas and tips. You'll be surprised how much fun it is to create something really special from simple materials.
Be there and be inspired!
How does this activity work?
Workshop process: Your creative advent calendar step by step
In the workshop, you can either bring your own old favorite pair of jeans or use one of our own. You can design the bags from jeans or from the fabrics we provide — just the way you like them!
- Arrive and collect inspiration:
We'll start with a short introduction, and you'll get initial inspiration from a sample advent calendar. Consider using your jeans or making bags from our fabrics. - Material selection and design:
Choose the right materials for your calendar from your jeans or our fabrics. Merve and Rebecca help you develop creative ideas for the shape and arrangement of the bags. - Cut and design bags:
Now we cut the bags to size — either from jeans or from other materials. You will learn how to easily make the bags yourself, to match your design. - Glue and attach: We
then attach the bags directly to the jeans or the chosen fabric using textile glue or decorative hand stitches. Here you can incorporate your creative touch and design your calendar. - Conclusion and exchange:
Finally, we look at the finished calendars and exchange ideas. You go home with a unique, homemade advent calendar that you can fill as you like!
