Boing! Twist, Twirl & Turn (Craft Activity)

Flipside is all about finding humour and connection in the everyday, and this year, we pay homage to the ordinary object. With a little bit of imagination and creativity, we can give these ordinary objects new forms and meaning.

Bring a piece of Flipside home through these curated craft workshops available on both weekends of the festival! The featured object for the sessions on 1 and 9 Jun is paper.

Taking inspiration from Big Mob, learn how to DIY a flippy, twirly slinky using colouring materials, paper and glue. It doubles as both a fun toy and a decorative piece that can be attached to your loved one’s study or workspace.

Please note that: 

• The craft will take approx. 15 - 30 minutes to complete. Our facilitators will be onsite to offer advice and guidance. 

• To ensure that everyone has a chance to try the craft, the activity will only be available on site and each participant will receive one craft set only. 

• There are a limited number of craft sets, which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all the craft sets for the session have been given out, participation for that session will be closed. 

• Participants below six years old should be accompanied by an adult, who will share one craft set with them to complete the activity together.
