Slinger becomes ciseled!

Welcome to the party shop!

Our party shop is a cheery, family venue where you can find things from all over the world that are used in all kinds of different celebrations. Every day somewhere in the world, something is being celebrated. We don’t all share the same celebrations, but we all like a party. Take a look around in our party shop and discover celebrations you didn’t know existed. Do our music quiz, learn a festive dance or pick the best party outfit!

Maak je eigen feesthanger!

Chiseling is a very old technique used all over the world to decorate such things as tin, copper or silver. Craftsmen use their imagination to transform metal into richly decorated works of art. With holes, dents and bulges, you can add decorations to candlesticks, trays, picture frames or nativity scenes, for example. Few tools are needed and you can totally express your creativity.

Milagros pendant

Milagros are small metal, religious charms or amulets. The word milagro means “miracle” in Spanish and milagros often depicted arms, legs, praying people, animals or skulls. Milagros are pinned on for “good luck” and were often used for prayers in the past.
