Each spring, we bring back this special “Make it at Meltdown” class to celebrate the season of renewal.

Create the Botanical Amulet, a sterling silver pendant designed to hold something precious. Traditionally worn as a protective charm or symbol of good fortune, your amulet can hold flower petals, leaves, herbs, essential oils, or any meaningful keepsake. The removable top lets you change the contents anytime, making it versatile and personal.
