Winter Village
Instructor: Cat Truong
Price: $15
Register online (class size is limited)
Gather in community and celebrating the holiday spirit as we make an upcycled Winter Village! The houses can be made of multi-colored/neutral colored cardstock or even recycled cereal boxes for a sustainable alternative. We will show you how to turn the cardboard inside out to make gingerbread-looking houses!
All materials are provided, but feel free to bring any paper you want to upcycle and small gifts to stuff in the houses- or leave them at home for later.
Each house can be stuffed with small gifts- candy, personalized notes, affirmations, makeup, toys, gift cards, jewelry, nail polish, ornaments- let your creativity run wild. Adorn your mantel, Christmas tree, bookshelf, dining table, hide them for loved ones to find, or anywhere you'd like.
This class was inspired by a pattern provided by Magnolia Magazine
