A women’s club group from Finland participated in a Home Spa workshop at Örreke’s Old Town studio. The group was on a two-day trip to Tallinn and was looking for a creative activity that would be practical, fun, and a bit different at the same time. The group reached Örreke through Estravel.

Creative activity as part of a Tallinn travel day

The group’s wish was to find a hands-on and active activity for their Tallinn trip that would fit well with the rest of the program. Since the group’s accommodation was in the Old Town, Örreke’s studio on Kuninga Street was a perfect fit.

From Örreke’s wide selection of workshops, the Home Spa workshop was chosen. This gave participants the chance to get involved, gain new knowledge, and make natural body care products for themselves.

The group of 12 fit comfortably in the studio, as the Old Town studio is suitable for up to 15 people. Participants were also able to bring their own snacks, which made the workshop a pleasant part of the travel day.

Workshop in Finnish

The workshop was conducted in Finnish so that the participants could easily understand the instructions and feel at ease.

In the Home Spa workshop, participants made a total of four spa products. The activity was practical but also educational. Participants learned about the ingredients used and saw how body care products are made from simple and natural components.

The finished spa products were packed into beautiful bags made from recycled materials. This way, every participant took home a personal gift from the workshop, either for themselves, a friend, or family at home.

Natural ingredients and a meaningful background

The ingredients used in the Home Spa workshop are natural and eco-certified. One important ingredient is shea butter, which reaches Örreke through the NGO Mondo. Mondo is a long-term partner of Örreke, and this collaboration supports the development of women’s entrepreneurship in Ghana.

This adds a broader meaning to the workshop. Participants don’t just make body care products; they take part in an activity where creativity, natural materials, recycling, and responsible consumption meet.

A creative experience for a Tallinn travel program

The workshop was fun and educational. The format worked well for a smaller travel group because everyone could participate, ask questions, and take the finished products with them.

This kind of workshop is suitable for tour operators looking for a practical additional activity for their group’s Tallinn program, as well as for groups of friends, clubs, or smaller travel groups planning their own trip. For larger groups, other locations, or special requests, a suitable solution can be arranged separately.

Riina Rauts, Product and Sales Manager for the Baltic region at Estravel, described the experience like this:

“The feedback from the group was very positive. They liked the simplicity of the workshop, the naturalness of the ingredients used, and the friendliness of the instructor.”

For this, they chose Örreke’s “Shards Bring Luck” workshop, where new items like pendants, earrings, and keychains are made from old porcelain shards.

A workshop that fit the rhythm of the workday

It was important for Betsson Group that the workshop fit into the day’s office schedule. Not all employees could participate at the same time, so Örreke organized the workshop with a flexible schedule. This meant people could come and craft during their lunch break or between meetings.

The workshop took place at the Betsson Group office in Tallinn, and a total of 25 people participated over the course of three hours.

New life for old porcelain

The “Shards Bring Luck” workshop was a great fit for the sustainability day theme because it focuses on recycling. Broken porcelain doesn’t have to go in the bin – it can be used to make something new, personal, and useful.

Participants made pendants and keychains from porcelain shards. Some employees even brought their own broken mugs to turn them into something new. This made the workshop even more personal, as the finished item wasn’t just a random craft but was connected to the participant’s own story.

Örreke took care of all the arrangements

Örreke brought all the necessary materials and tools and was responsible for setting up and cleaning up the workshop. Betsson Group didn’t have to source materials, prepare the work process, or worry about cleaning up after the workshop ended.

This solution is perfect for companies that want to organize a creative activity in the office without adding an extra organizational burden to their team. The workshop can be timed to fit into a seminar day, values day, team event, or any other internal event schedule.

Simple idea and an impressive result

The porcelain shard workshop was exciting for participants because many hadn’t previously thought that broken dishes could be used to make jewelry or keychains. The immediate feedback was very positive: people were surprised by how simple the process was and how impressive the final result turned out.

The value of the workshop wasn’t just in the finished items. It gave employees a chance to step away from their workday for a moment, do something with their hands, and experience the theme of sustainability in a practical way.

With the help of the kits and detailed instructions, the teachers conducted the crafting session at school themselves. A total of 62 third-grade children participated, creating handmade soaps along with decorated packaging.

A gift that children could make themselves

Roostiku School had used Örreke DIY kits before. Before Christmas, the children made mosaic jars using Örreke kits. Following that good experience, they also wanted an activity for Mother’s Day that would be easy to carry out with a large group at school.

Soap making was a great fit for this. The activity was manageable for third-grade children, related to Mother’s Day, and resulted in a gift that could actually be used.

A ready-made kit made the teachers’ job easier

Roostiku School ordered herbal soap DIY kits from the Örreke e-shop. The kits came with detailed instructions, which allowed the teachers to run the crafting session themselves.

Örreke also included several spare kits so that teachers could try out the process themselves before starting with the children. This made it easier to plan the activity and carry it out smoothly with a large group.

This time, Örreke did not conduct the workshop on-site, but was available to help and ready to answer questions if needed.

Soaps, packaging, and well wishes for mothers

During the crafting process, handmade herbal soaps were created. The children mixed herbs into the soaps, added scents, and folded wrappers for them. The packaging was decorated with plant pictures and well wishes for the mothers.

Feedback from the school was very positive:

“Our soap making went very well. Beautiful soaps and packaging were created. Children, mothers, teachers – everyone was happy. Thank you!”

An easy way to organize crafting for a large group

For this project, it was important that the crafting worked for a large group and didn’t require teachers to do all the preparation from scratch. Örreke DIY kits provided the school with ready-made materials, clear instructions, and the opportunity to carry out the activity according to their own schedule.

For the children, it was a creative and practical activity. Each child was able to make a gift for their mother that had personal value.

DIY kit or on-site workshop

Örreke DIY kits are suitable for schools, kindergartens, and hobby groups who want to carry out a creative and well-guided crafting session with children on their own premises. The kits can be ordered from the Örreke e-shop, and if needed, Örreke can help choose an activity that fits the children’s age, group size, and event theme.

If you can’t find a suitable kit or if teachers don’t have time to prepare and run the crafting themselves, Örreke can also come to help. In that case, we come on-site, bring the necessary materials, and lead the workshop with the children from start to finish.
