Paper Wreath

Hello and welcome!

OK, I know it's only Halloween, but since the clocks went back and the weather turned colder I'm definitely thinking that the festive season is just around the corner and crafting for Christmas is the order of the day!

I've seen a few versions of this paper wreath.  It's very easy to make.  This is the kind of craft where you can do a lot of the work sitting watching TV.  As long as a grown-up handles the sticking-down part (especially if using a glue gun) children could help make it.  I liked this version because it uses rolled up circles.  See how I made it here-

I've made it in traditional Christmas red and green, but it would look lovely in blues and silvers or pinks and purples!  

See you again soon,

Keep crafting,

Keren

Hello and welcome!
Well, I’ve finally done my very first Facebook Live.  I’ve gone live on YouTube before now, but Facebook was something new.
I’ve been very excited about some of the lovely items in the new catalogue (which is open for business on September 5 – mark your calendars!) and I’ve been making some samples using new goodies along with items from the Annual catalogue.

These are MDF shapes that I found on Ebay, blinged up for the festive season.  Look at that gorgeous leaping deer!  I’m planning on making a whole suite of these and then selling them to raise money for the charity that my workplace supports.  

If you’ve ever gone live on Facebook, you already know that it’s pretty easy.  It also turned out to be very easy to download the video so that I could edit it (lightly) and then re-upload it to YouTube – so if you missed the live, here it is!

This was very much an experiment, so if you enjoyed the video (it is quite a bit longer than my usual tutorials, which I try to keep to less than 30 minutes) please do let me know by leaving a comment, either here, or on YouTube, or on Facebook (where you can find the unedited version, complete with 10 minutes of me tidying away when I forgot to turn the camera off…oops). 

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Keep crafting,
Keren
