Crafts & Cocktails: Upcycled Bags

Turn ordinary plastic grocery bags into something extraordinary during this adults-only Crafts & Cocktails workshop at Discovery Park of America. Guests 21 and older will enjoy an evening of creativity while learning practical upcycling techniques, along with a refreshing cocktail and a charcuterie board. Participants will learn how to transform plastic bags into “plarn” (plastic yarn) and begin crocheting a reusable bag. Guests will also discover techniques for creating decorative flowers and will leave with plarn, a crochet hook and a pattern to complete their project at home. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or trying crochet for the first time, this hands-on workshop offers a fun way to reduce waste while learning a new skill. Crafts & Cocktails is a series of hands-on workshops designed for adults who enjoy learning new creative skills in a relaxed, social setting. Each session combines an engaging craft project with light refreshments, making it the perfect opportunity to unwind while exploring a new hobby. This event is brought to you by Discovery Park of America.
