What if children are conversant with the idioms of sustainability, source discards and transform them into desirable, eco-friendly, everyday utilitarian objects and eye-catching decor. On November 15, at the time of this article going to press, Kid’s Kraft Carnival 2025 — Edition 2 (organised by Boutique Bougainvillea and The Kraft Faktor) was under way in Velachery, demonstrating that these what-ifs can be realities.

The children showed the attendees how to make origami-based decor, quilled wall decor, quilled jewellery, artwork on upcycled boards, clay-based art and palm-leaf decor. Various other art forms were also in attendance (crochet, macrame and decoupage among them) and all of them were viewed through the lens of sustainability and the eyes of the young ones that have mastered them through sustained practice. Some of these children have take these skillsets beyond weekend sessions to build brands that fuse sustainability with art.
