🎄 ReCrafted Christmas – Card Bauble Workshop 🎄

Come join us and learn how to transform old christmas cards into beautiful baubles!

Looking for a festive and eco-friendly way to celebrate this holiday season? Or maybe you are just looking for a perfect excuse to get together with some friends? Or hey, maybe you would like to learn something new?

Join us for the ReCrafted Christmas - Card Bauble Workshop, where you’ll learn how to cut and fold your old Christmas cards into these stunning little decorations!

🎁 Here’s Why You’ll Love It:

No experience needed - it’s completely beginner-friendly! I’ll guide you through the process, and you’ll leave with a finished bauble, plus the know-how to make more if you fancy.
All supplies are included - but if you are like me and are a Christmas card hoarder, feel free to bring some of your own cards along to make it even more personal!
Upcycling at its best - we’ll be giving those old cards a new life, helping to reduce waste and be a little kinder to the planet, while creating something special for your Christmas tree.
Charity cards for a cause - If you don’t have your own cards, don’t worry! I’ll have plenty for you to choose from, including a selection of charity Christmas cards. A portion of your workshop fee has gone towards the purchasing these cards, helping to support those in need this festive season.

Feel free to bring a friend or two—it’s a lovely way to spend some festive time together. Or, if you’re coming solo, that’s perfect too! You’ll be in great company, and it’s a relaxed, friendly space where you can meet new people. No pressure, no perfectionism—just a bit of fun and creativity on the countdown to Christmas Day.

See you there,
Rosie 💖

👩‍🎨 About Your Teacher
Hi! I’m Rosie, an origami and paper artist behind Folded Forests. Origami and paper craft has always been a passion of mine—not just because it’s a beautiful craft, but also for its many benefits, like relaxation, creativity, and the joy of transforming something as simple as paper into something extraordinary.

Over the years, I’ve crafted everything from giant flowers and jewellery to wedding decorations and framed art—paper truly transforms into anything! I can’t wait to share that joy with you in this workshop. Check out my Instagram or my website for a glimpse into my world of paper creations!
