Reusable Festive Christmas Wreath Workshop (Wool/Yarn, Felt and Fabric) 05/12 at Badger Farm Community Centre, Winchester
Description
Guided by an experienced crafter - Jo, you’ll learn how to prepare the frame, and design and make your unique yarn/wool, ribbon and felt wreath, step-by-step, in a fun and relaxed environment. You'll also have a choice of decorative elements to adorn your wreath, like buttons, beads, and wooden mini-Christmas trees. The wreath is a lovely, hand-crafted, personalised decoration that you can reuse and bring out each December. Jo (together with other volunteers) has been crafting and selling Christmas decorations at Winchester Christmas Market for a local charity for over 5 years now. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just looking for some festive fun, this workshop is for all skill levels. Enjoy a cosy, festive evening with a hot drink and little nibbles (gluten-free option available), make new friends and take home a handmade and unique woven woolly/yarn wreath.
