Traditional Paper Christmas Decorations (ESTONIA)

We made angels, stars and snowflakes from different papers. We made the angel’s wings out of paper, the body and the dress out of string. We made the head from a wooden pearl. “We made the stars from book pages and plain paper. We folded the paper and glued folded parts of the paper together with a hot glue gun. We made snowflakes from wallpaper. It was peaceful to do and relaxing activity. <3 <3 <3” -Rafael, Anna-Kalli, Aade

Transforming threads into little fabrics (ITALY)

We’re getting closer to the end of the year and the end of this workshop and the hand-spun wool is waiting to be transformed in something beautiful! Some threads are quite bold and we won’t double them, while others will be twisted to make them more stable. This is fun! The multi-coloured wool looks so beautiful when twisted.  Then we start weaving little ‘carpets’ using our hand-spun wool!  Slowly they are growing and some kids already think about who will receive them as a present for Christmas.  But also our woven bands from last week aren’t finished yet! Each child is choosing freely which project to continue.
