Sadly this year we are unable to host our usual event, so instead we have created a series a blogs highlighting some excellent, but very simple, crafts that you can do in the comfort of you own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our sustainability challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This time of year can be not only expensive but full of waste. So our challenge to you is to make these Winter crafts from as many materials that you have lying around the house as possible, such as old wrapping paper, last year&#8217;s Christmas cards, or old balls of wool lying around etc.. You&#8217;ll be amazed what beautiful crafts you can make out of the stuff you normally recycle or throw away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3D paper snowflake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year I made these stunning 3D paper snowflakes out of the paper packing you get in your Amazon delivery! We make these snowflakes every year in our Crafts at Christmas events &#8211; they look really complicated, but are really easy. Why don&#8217;t you give them a go. All you need is paper, scissors, a stapler and sticky-tape&#8230;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3D Paper Snowflakes DIY\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lT2oeNkTOAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origami paper box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another really simple paper craft, but instead of buying origami paper why don&#8217;t you make them out of old wrapping paper or even old, thin Christmas cards. These wee boxes are great for holding sweet treats for a loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Origami paper box with lid - Tutorial\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3YvKUfVbZ7M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recycled paperback folded Christmas tree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another super easy and very effective paper craft that you can do using an old book or magazine or catalogue.
