Mark your calendars for June 26th for a chance to get crafty at Dewey’s Candy Store!

Online craftsters Etsy and the DUMBO Improvement District are teaming up to present “Hands-On: DUMBO”, an evening of festivities and DIY craft workshops to celebrate our beloved DUMBO, on June 26 from 5-8 p.m.  

New Yorkers will have a chance to explore this unique Brooklyn neigboorhood and get crafty.  Dewey’s and other local businesses are opening their doors to the public and inviting attendees to come in and try their hands at craft and DIY projects in-store.

Dewey’s will be showing people how to create their very own buttons using retro candy wrappers.  How cool is that?  Candy conosuir Michele Boudreaux, who creates unusual lollipops will be leading the session inside Dewey's Candy Store. Check out her lollipop creations, available through her very own Etsy shop, Lollipops By Milhow.
