Dilly Bag Designers
These school holidays, kids can step into the role of designer and make their own Dilly Bag at Queensland Museum.
Inspired by the traditional gathering bags used by First Nations peoples across Australia, these strong and cleverly crafted bags have been used for thousands of years to carry food, tools, and everyday treasures.
In this hands on, self-led activity, children can think, create, and experiment with different construction methods and materials as they discover how natural fibres, weaving techniques, and thoughtful design contribute to making strong, practical bags for different purposes. Every child will design and create their own unique dilly bag to take home – a functional artwork inspired by Australia’s First Nations knowledge and craftsmanship.
What will you carry in your bag?
