A hands-on holiday craft event where patrons create personalized ornaments to keep or gift. It’s great as a standalone gathering or as part of a larger holiday celebration.

Come enjoy a warm and inviting hands-on holiday craft event where patrons can design and create their own personalized ornaments from a variety of festive materials. Patrons can choose from paint, glitter, ribbons, charms, wooden cutouts, clear fillable ornaments, and more to craft pieces that reflect their style, memories, or holiday traditions. This activity encourages creativity, conversation, and connection as guests work side by side, sharing ideas and inspiration. The finished ornaments make meaningful keepsakes to treasure year after year or thoughtful, handmade gifts for family and friends. This event works beautifully as a standalone gathering for crafting enthusiasts or can be incorporated into a larger holiday celebration to add an interactive, joyful element that brings everyone together.”
