    Has anyone ever made wreaths? How on earth do you do it? 🤔

    I've never even tried, but they always look really impressive when people make them! :)

    @JustV I've made a Pompom Christmas wreath before using green and red pompoms and a wire from hobbycraft. It was quite a good way to pass the time but I'm not sure I'd do another one!

    Christmas origami :heart:

    The other day I was at my face to face volunteering and we made Christmas trees out of paper, it was quite fun.

    It seems like a fun easy festive activity, and there are lots of tutorials on YT

    @Amy22 I've just posted in the Christmas Crafts thread with a tutorial link on 3D paper snowflakes ❄️ if you're interested! I'd love to see what else you make, I really enjoy having a go at origami but it can be really difficult - it requires a lot of concentration!

    @lunarcat522 aww I've just seen that thread and omg they do look fantastic actually. I used to make paper snowflakes all the time in college and school.

    My adhd would be screaming if I tried to follow a Christmas origami video 😂 😭
