Crafternoon (TEENS EVENT)

Digital Session

“It made me feel good as I felt like I was chatting with a group of friends, which gave me the feeling of normality again.”

Our craft activities are always popular as it's a chance to get creative, express yourself and learn something new. This month’s craft was upcycled denim keyrings! A group of young people joined us for this digital craft session where they all created their own, unique denim keyring completely from scratch.

Whether a beginner or a keen sewer, everyone got involved, encouraging one another along the way. We talked all things craft, learnt some random, but cool facts about one another, and even had a musical performance from one of the young people!

The session took place digitally over Zoom, it was great to bring the young people together over a shared activity, where they could talk to each other, make friends and realise that they are not alone in their situation. 

As with our other craft activities, a pack was sent to each young person taking part ahead of the session, and now they all have a beautiful keyring to keep.
You can take a look at the process, and Mila’s creation here.

By taking part in this activity, the young people were able to: 
- Interact and socialise with others who get what they're going through
- Reduce their feelings of isolation and loneliness 
- Feel a sense of achievement, improving self-confidence and self-esteem
- Express themselves through creativity
- Learn a new skill
