1 Paper Wreaths

These beautiful wreaths are guaranteed not to drop pine needles on the floor and will last the whole festive season! We love adding some glittery leaves into the mix using festive papers or sequins. Or for something a bit different why not try using book pages or music sheets. Make one at your Crafternoon so your home is Christmas ready from 1st December.

2 Fingerprint Cards

Who doesn’t love receiving a homemade card? These cute fingerprint cards are easy to make and perfect for a Crafternoon – suitable for little fingers too if you’re having younger guests at your Crafternoon! Or if you’re feeling fancy you and your guests can give our cheat’s calligraphy a go to make your cards extra special and personalised.

3 Origami Stars For Your Tree

These origami stars are addictive to make! Once you’ve got the hang of it you and your Crafternoon guests won’t be able to stop. Change up your papers and themes to make the perfect tree decorations no matter what your colour theme, or even thread some cotton through them to make a stunning chain of stars.

Crafternoon is the perfect chance to share your love of crafting with others and start ticking off your Christmas to do list on 1st December.  Get your Crafternoon kit today from www.mind.org.uk/crafternoon
