Class Description

Description

Create your own handmade, huggable friend in this cozy, boutique Build-A-Bear–style experience — The Crafty Lounge style.

Choose your plushie in advance:

  • Pig
  • Bunny
  • Bear
  • Duck

During the workshop, you’ll craft and customize your plushie with stuffing, eyes, ears, and all the little personality details that make your new friend uniquely yours. Everything is made with ultra-soft chunky yarn for that signature The Crafty Lounge feel. You’ll use soft, chunky yarn and finger knit an adorable furry friend—perfect as a gift, a keepsake, or a cozy companion. 100% Beginner friendly.

This is a fun, fast, and special way of creating your own plushie! No prior knitting experience is required, no needles, just your own two hands. You'll have step-by-step guidance throughout the process. All other materials are included!

Prepare to leave with an adorable handmade plushie and the joy of saying, “I made that!”

What you'll get: All the materials—yarn, instruction, polyfil, birth certificate.

Suitable for: Adults, and kids (minimum 6 years old). An adult must accompany any attending kids (the adult may observe for free).
