A creative holiday day full of crafting fun and a sweet idea
At the DIY workshop Gumball Machine from Cardboard, the city library Braunschweig transforms on August 5, 2026 into a creative workshop for children and teenagers. From 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a unique gumball or candy machine made from cardboard will be created in the seminar room on the 2nd floor – upcycling with imagination, handwork, and a real holiday feel.

Upcycling that immediately makes you want to join in
Here, cardboard is not thrown away but transformed into a practical and original object. Using scissors, compass, pen, and hot glue, a personal unique item is created that combines crafting joy and design freedom. This blend of material experience and creativity shapes the event experience and ensures a relaxed, focused atmosphere among participants.
