Christmas pillow boxes

Festive workshop: Christmas pillow boxes
In this festive craft workshop, learn to transform wrapping paper and ribbon to make these tiny pillow boxes for jewellery or sweets to gift your loved ones at Christmas.

Get into the holiday spirit and use your creativity to create a practical but pretty item with Alex in this 2hr class.

All the materials you need will be provided including a selection of Christmas paper and ribbon to choose from. You are welcome to bring your own used wrapping paper to upcycle if you like.
This project is very easy and you will manage to make several boxes during the workshop.
This activity is designed for age 16+ but children over 12yrs can attend with an adult (both must book a space).
