Christmas Make: Wreaths

Christmas Makes are hands-on making sessions suitable for families. In this session, we will use leftover cardboard and craft materials to make fun and vibrant festive wreaths. The wreaths can be hung on a door, or used as table decorations, making your home feel ready for Christmas.
