Step into a world of colour, creativity, and gentle magic.
In this hands-on craft workshop for kids parties, children will design and create their own enchanted luminous lantern using a beautiful mix of printed tissue papers, ribbons, lace, beads and of course fairy lights. Like mixing spell ingredients, they’ll layer and decorate by letting their imagination lead the way.
How it works:
– Step-by-Step Guidance: I’ll show the party guests how to work with all the tools, materials, and embellishments from start to finish, so they can feel confident and creative.
– Make It Yours: They’ll pick their lantern, colours, ribbons and beads. Go wild with colours to truly personalise their lantern. No rules—just fun!
– Relaxed, Friendly Vibe: This is a light-filled, quirky, welcoming space perfect for a little group celebration like a birthday.
To finish, each lantern is softly lit with fairy lights, bringing their creation to life with a luminous glow. The studio fills with colour, excitement and the joyful energy that only happens when children are fully immersed in making.
A relaxed, feel-good birthday party that celebrates creativity, individuality, and the magic of handmade art. Suitable for ages 6 and up.

Garden of Wire is happy for you to self cater. There is a small kitchenette with a kettle, microwave, sink and small fridge. However it is not suitable for preparation of food.
Parent supervision requirements
To make sure all the kids are safe and the party runs smoothly, we ask that at least one parent or guardian stays onsite for the duration of the session. This is especially helpful if you’re providing food or drinks.
For our younger guests (ages 5–8), having a parent or nominated adult nearby to assist with bathroom breaks is important, as I need to keep an eye on the rest of the group.
I’ll lead all the creative fun and ensure everyone is engaged, your presence just helps everything flow safely and smoothly. I have a valid Working With Children Check and Police Check,
Can siblings join in?
Yes they can but they will need to be counted in the overall guest numbers.
Accessibility
Garden of Wire Creative Workshop is located in one of Oberon’s old buildings and has some accessibility limitations. The entry is via two low wide steps. The toilet is located outside via two steps, a narrow side pathway and is a “typical” Australian brick outhouse with limited space. We understand this is not ideal but will assist with steadying hands if required.
