World’s Largest Craft Club – Washington, DC at Merry Pin – Washington, DC

Get ready to be part of something global! Join Merry Pin and Shared Workshop for the World’s Largest Craft Club in Washington, DC—a coordinated weekend of creativity where hundreds of “crafty queens” across the globe host meetups and workshops simultaneously.

In an increasingly digital age, we’re reclaiming the joy of offline, tactile connection. This isn’t just a workshop; it’s a worldwide celebration of journaling, memory-keeping, and community.

Passport to Creativity Tote Customization

Inspired by the charm of vintage steamer trunks covered in travel stickers, we’re turning humble tote bags into artistic keepsakes. We’ll provide a basic tote as your canvas. From there, the sky is the limit! Unleash your inner designer using a mountain of supplies, including:

• Fabric markers for custom illustrations.
• Upcycled scrap fabric and felt for textured patches.
• Beads, buttons, thread, and yarn for tactile embellishments.
• Travel-style elements to give your bag that “well-traveled” aesthetic.

Note: We provide the bags and the logo base, but if you have a favorite tote you’d rather upcycle, feel free to bring it along!
