Celebrate in style by adding a colorful chandelier made of paper flowers, poms poms, and other colorful ephemera to your home. Design & build your own unique Pajaki!

Pronounced Pah-yonk-ee, this traditional folk art craft is created by Polish women at times of celebration - weddings, holidays, christenings, housewarmings, etc.

In this fun workshop, we’ll work with metal hoops, paper straws, twine, paper flowers, pom poms, hand marbled wooden beads, and much more to create a one-of-a-kind decorative ‘chandelier’. These are traditionally hung around holidays as a decoration for the home, but can also just be hung from the ceiling year around. 

Choose your colors and materials to make it your own!

Each pajaki measures roughly 12” round x 24” long
