That sounds like fun! Can highly recommend orange and clove pompadours to make as a cheap gift.

In the interests of low cost weekend activities, my Minipeelers and I have decided;
-
to have our own festival,
-
to do craft about it, and
-
to call it “Craftmas.”
It will involve liberal amounts of polymer clay and wool, and focus on making Xmas decorations and gifts (for those we would like to give something to, but either don’t want to buy for or don’t know what to buy). I’m really looking forward to it and am actually excited for this!

A themed crafternoon. Add a snack or two and this is Most Excellent.

A Crafternoon! I knew a word already existed for it but couldn’t think of it for the life of me, thankyou!

Back when I was a kid, mum & dad were going through a difficult financial patch so we made xmas decorations from gum tree twigs - painted with thin flour & water glue and tinfoil laid on like it was gold leaf. Then wove the twigs into garlands and a whole xmas tree (small). Peach pits got the same treatment and were the baubles along with gingerbread shapes baked hard. Looked and smelled very nice. I remember it as kinda messy but very fun. I think I remember painting the peach pits before they were covered with tinfoil so the colours showed through the inevitable gaps in the tinfoil. The downside was our cat decided she liked the gingerbread shapes to chew on and this wasn’t good for her digestion.

No strung milk bottle tops?

We got our milk in quart jars (in old money). The jars had screw on glass lids not foil tops. Foil tops were fancy. Yes it was delivered by a horse & cart.
