Upcycling into Party Accessories with Projekt Glitter

A few Saturdays ago, we hosted one of the most fun and creative workshops I’ve done — right at the HQ of Projekt Glitter, warming up for the 2023 party and festival season.

This workshop was a true creative lovechild between me and my dear friend Jeen Low, founder of Projekt Glitter. It all started from a shared passion for circular fashion, DIY, self-expression, music, and partying. And we thought: what if we made a workshop where people could make their own party jewellery and accessories, from stuff they already had?

So that’s exactly what we did.

The vibe was relaxed, playful, and full of good energy and music. Participants brought old belts, bag straps, broken jewellery, random chains and trims — and we turned them into unique and expressive accessories and jewellery to wear on the dancefloor. Some came with a plan, others got inspired on the spot with some triggers I brought. But all left with something they made with their own hands, and that felt totally them.

It was a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when we combine creativity with what we already own — and how much cooler it feels to wear something you made yourself than to buy something new.

We’re already dreaming up more workshops, collabs and events — because we really loved working together and want to keep the glitter flowing. 💫

If you want to join next time, or have a proposal or idea for a collab feel free to reach out! We’re always open to new projects that mix sustainability, fun, and self-expression.

With love,
