Arty Crafty Adult Workshop

Making Christmas Decorations hosted by Nicky Samuel!

We all know how cheap some Christmas decorations are, and often that’s what we opt to purchase to add to the household decorations, in the time leading up to Christmas.

However, store bought ones are sometimes not well made, and may not last.

Have you every thought that a handmade gift of a Christmas decorations, either for the tree or just to hang up around the house, means so much more, not just for the giver, but the recipients as well?

Handmade Christmas tree decorations can evoke memories of the special people who may have handcrafted them, even when they are no longer around.

We will use fabric scraps, recycled calendars and cards, buttons, as well as adding glittery sequins and beads for that extra bling.

Here’s an alternative opportunity to create a gift that will be treasured and yes, year after year.

Aside from the fun you will have in making these decorations you are doing the world a power of goodness.
