This condition highlights the importance of community empowerment through strengthening productive skills capable of creating alternative sources of income. This community service program aimed to improve the skills and entrepreneurial capacity of PKK members in Kepuh Hamlet, Pancarejo, through the diversification of fashion accessory products made from hybrid batik fabric waste. The implementation methods included training, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and gradual mentoring in the design and production of marketable fashion accessories. The results showed an improvement in participants’ skills in processing hybrid batik fabric waste into economically valuable products, the creation of various fashion accessory products, and increased basic entrepreneurial understanding among PKK members.
