FAQ
Do I need any experience?
Nope! This workshop is beginner-friendly. You’ll be guided step by step, and I’ll help you at your own pace.
What kind of bag will I make?
You’ll crochet a small bag from chunky t-shirt yarn. It’s sturdy, sustainable, and can be worn as a shoulder or crossbody bag, whichever you choose.
What if I don’t finish my bag?
Most participants will finish within the session, but if not, you’ll be set up with everything you need (and the skills!) to complete it easily at home.
How does the color selection work?
Since the yarn is upcycled, colors vary depending on the t-shirts they are mede from. I’ll make sure that one of your preferred colors is available for you. You will indicate your preference in the registration form.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself and some creative enthusiasm :)

MATERIALS
MATERIALS
Stainless steel and gold-plated stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron. We use a high quality stainless steel that is made to last. It is highly polished to create the shiny look. When plated, a thick layer of 18K gold is applied to the outside of the stainless steel jewelry. Our plating is strong, so you can wear it in the shower of while taking a dip in the ocean, without worrying about your jewelry!
Brass
Brass is a natural and sustainable earth-derived material. An affordable alternative to gold that has a luxurious look and feel.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and is free of lead and nickel. It is hypoallergenic and waterproof. The jewelry in the Golden Monsterra collection use new brass containing 70% copper and 30% zinc. The T'Boli jewelry is made from recycled brass.
Brass oxidizes over time because of the copper content. This gives the jewelry a 'vintage look' that is preferred by many. It is always possible to restore the original shine with cleaning.
Our tip is to keep wearing the brass jewelry for longer time. The oil from your skin will help clean and maintain your brass pieces. Also a shower or a dip in the ocean will help clean your jewelry.
Pearls
If every country has a gemstone, the Philippines would be the pearl, keeping its name the Pearl of the Orient seas. The archipelago has lovely varieties of white and freshwater pearls. We've scouted the Palawagan region and other parts of Philippines to infuse it with our jewelry.
Pearls, while they seem hard, are actually quite delicate and need to be handled with care. Avoid contact with perfumes and harsh chemicals. When pierced, pearls are no longer water proof so avoid to expose jewelry with pierced pearls to water. You can always clean pearls simply with a cloth. Store your pearls separately so other jewelry doesn't scratch them.
JEWELRY CARE
JEWELRY CARE
- Store jewelry in pouch when not in use
- Pat dry after in contact with water
- Use polishing cloth for a quick clean
STAINLESS STEEL:
- It is fine to swim and shower with your stainless steel pieces
BRASS:
-Brass can oxidize overtime due to humidity and body chemistry.
-Patina/Oxidation can develop overtime (it can have a vintage gold look)
- To prevent it from tarnishing, continue wearing your brass pieces as your skin oils can help maintain its shine.
- Polishing it with microfiber cloth
For deep cleaning your brass pieces:
-Make a baking soda and lemon paste, rub & rinse with water
- Clean with Brasso Metal Polish
