Stitched Christmas Cards
Do you want to impress your family and friends with something a bit different this year, or share a great project with your own WI or craft group? Come and find out more about the wonderful world of stitched cards, and create your own unique cards to take home from a range of available designs.
Christmas Angel Decoration

decoration, you will create your own pair of mini angels to take

CHRISTMAS CRAFT TASTER DAY
Gift Making and Wrapping with a Difference
Kay Grey will lead you in this sustainable gifting workshop.
You will be using ideas inspired by the Japanese Furoshiki wrapping techniques.
The workshop will include making a kimono style wrap for a soap
dispenser bottle, and can be adapted to any bottle, perhaps that very acceptable gift of a bottle of wine we fall back on more often than we should; this time make it special and memorable.
You will also have the opportunity to make a tissue box cover, easily removed when the box of tissues needs replacing. So much nicer than a gaudy cardboard box (no-one will know where you purchased them from either).
Add this technique to your skillset and you’ll always have a gift to
give.
Hand Made Silk Paper Christmas Decorations
Come along to this creative session to make ‘speedy’ hand-made silk paper which you can decorate in the colour theme of the season or in your own choice as well as adding beads and glitter to give it your own individual touch.
Several designs and shapes of these individual decorations can be made during the session which can be sewn or glued so something for all skills – novice or experienced
