Create a Textured Raffia Lion Mane

Create a Textured Raffia Lion Mane

One of the favourite designs is a sweet lion face built inside an embroidery hoop, where textured raffia is used to create its soft, fluffy mane. This playful detail adds warmth, movement and personality — transforming simple materials into a charming statement piece full of character.


Build Your Zebra’s Striped Texture

Build Your Zebra's Striped Texture

You’ll use contrasting black and white cotton floss to build the zebra’s iconic striped look, adding depth and texture within your design.


Grooming time

Grooming Time

Once your animal is complete, it’s time for a little spa moment. You’ll trim any extra yarn, floss or raffia to neaten things up and give your creation its final fabulous haircut — because every masterpiece deserves good grooming.


Step inside a real working artist’s studio in Edinburgh and create your own adorable wall hanging in this cosy, beginner-friendly creative workshop.
Whether you're creating nursery décor, a heartfelt handmade gift, a playful animal for a child’s room, or even a charming pet-inspired piece for your own gallery wall, this workshop is all about making something full of warmth and personality.
You’ll design and build your own animal-themed wall hanging from scratch using soft textures, layered materials, and playful details. You can create one of the classic favourites — a lion, zebra, sheep, piglet, bear, koala, cat, fox, unicorn, or monkey — or use them as inspiration to design something uniquely your own.
With guidance and creative freedom throughout, you’ll explore colour, texture, and simple techniques to bring your design to life inside an embroidery hoop — transforming everyday materials into something decorative and deeply personal.
No pressure, no perfection required — just a relaxed atmosphere where creativity flows naturally and your inner child gets to take the lead.
All materials are provided, including an embroidery hoop, fabric, raffia, yarn and thread, cord, buttons, beads, needles, and glue — plus a warm drink and a tasty snack to enjoy while you craft.
What you'll get

What to bring

  • You’re very welcome to bring along any small sentimental bits you’d love to include in your piece. A fabric offcut from a soft toy, a special button for the eyes, or any meaningful detail you’d like to weave into your creation can make your wall hanging even more personal.

PROCRAFTINATOR
PROCRAFTINATOR

female Women-owned

Crafting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, it was always my favourite way to have fun — making things, experimenting, creating purely for the joy of it.
Then lockdown happened.
While the world slowed down, I found myself crafting all day from my sofa, with my cat happily “helping” by chasing bits of yarn across the floor. That’s when the name of my brand was born — I was procraftinating my way through lockdown, turning time into colour, texture and creativity. I made so many earrings that I eventually opened an Instagram page to try selling a few. When lockdown ended, that tiny brand faded away, but the love for creating never did.
In Spring 2025, I decided to bring it back properly. I rebranded, designed my logo from scratch using my graphic design background, opened my online shop and began joining craft fairs across Edinburgh. By summer, I had taken the leap and opened my own cosy art studio — Procraftinating Corner — a welcoming, playful space where creativity feels easy, social and genuinely fun.
Today, this studio is a place where people come to switch off, reconnect and create something they’re proud of. Workshops are filled with colour, conversation and laughter, whether you arrive with your best friend, a group of friends, your children or simply on your own and leave having met new people along the way.
Alongside group workshops, private sessions are also available for more personal occasions such as birthdays, hen dos, baby showers, farewell celebrations, team bonding experiences and staff parties — from intimate creative moments with loved ones to bespoke sessions for corporate teams, friendship groups or families wanting dedicated time together.
Procraftinating Corner is all about creating memories as much as making beautiful things. It’s a space to relax, celebrate, meet people and rediscover your playful side — no experience needed.
Come for the crafting, stay for the joy of doing it together. I can’t wait to welcome you into the studio and create something wonderful side by side.
