Get Crafty! Hydrangea Bag Charm by Macramenian runs on 27 May 2026 at Flower Dome, giving visitors a short hands-on activity during the hydrangea season at Gardens by the Bay.
The official listing says participants will use pre-made crocheted tubes to construct a botanical flowerhead that moves through blues and pinks, then finish it with paracord and an enamel charm.
Fee And Age Suitability
The activity fee is S$15, inclusive of materials. Friends of the Gardens members get a special S$13.50 rate. Each session is listed at about 15 minutes per participant.
The workshop is suitable for ages eight and above, with children below 10 required to be accompanied by an adult.
How Registration Works
Registration is onsite only, with slots available on a first-come, first-served basis. Payment is made onsite by cash or PayNow directly to the organiser, and Flower Dome admission is required separately.
Because registration is walk-in, do not promise children a slot before checking availability. Treat it as a planned attempt rather than a guaranteed activity.

Why It Works As A Short Add-On
The Hydrangea Bag Charm session is useful because it is compact. A 15-minute activity can fit into a Flower Dome visit without taking over the entire day, which is helpful for families already balancing tickets, meals and walking distance.
It also gives children something tangible to bring home from the hydrangea season, rather than turning the visit into only photo-taking.
What To Tell Children First
Set expectations before joining the queue. The session is first-come, first-served, registration is onsite, and availability depends on the day. That means it should be framed as a planned attempt rather than a guaranteed promise.
The age guidance also matters. Children below 10 need an accompanying adult, and younger participants may need help managing small craft components even if the session is short.
Cost And Ticket Context
The activity fee is separate from Flower Dome admission. Families should factor in both the workshop payment and conservatory entry before deciding whether it is worth the trip.
For Friends of the Gardens members, the lower activity rate helps, but the bigger value is still the ability to pair the workshop with the Blue Beauties floral display on the same visit.
