Workshop

"Let's make it with plastic board! ~ Making original medals ~"

In conjunction with "Kitashibu Run Run Festa," we will hold a workshop for making original medals using plastic plates! Draw a picture freely on the plastic board with colored pencils or oil-based pens, shrink it in a toaster oven, attach a ribbon, and it's done. It is also recommended to make a lucky item that encourages you, or give it as a gift to your loved one as a way of saying "thank you" or "good work". Why don't you make a medal that is only one in the world that will make you or someone else feel a little positive?
