Sustainable Sandcastle Flags

Event organiser: 
Mae Kandoo / Scarlett's Wool & Craft Shop
Event Location:
Scarlett's Wool and Craft Shop, 25 High Street, Brightlingsea, CO7 0AG

About this event

Make a set of sustainable sandcastle flags that can be re-used on the beach each year or at home in your garden!
Using the idea of children's sewing cards, the flags (made from reclaimed fabrics) have pre-punched holes making them easier to sew for absolute beginners! Attached to sustainably grown willow, each flag will be ready to flutter in the sea breeze on top of a sandcastle.
The process of stitching helps to develop hand/eye co-ordination. The stillness and focus required helps develop concentration and mindfulness too!
Providing an alternative option to plastic beach accessories, these sustainable beach flags will add a pop of colour to a sandcastle or can be used to mark out an area in the sand!
