Self Care Craft Evening

Self Care Craft Evening

Last night my best friend and I went to a "Self Care Craft Evening" at Hwgga Studios in Llandrindod Wells. The theme for last night was diorama boxes. I am a big crafter yet I had not heard of these before.



It wasn't quite as I expected it but still really enjoyed it. The room was light and well laid out. We arrived and were greeted with refreshments. On the table were empty boxes and on another table was a pile of different items that can be used and also a die cutting machine and some dies. We were told just to let our imagination run away with us!

I chose some grass for the bottom and then decorated the back with hills and clouds. I intend on making a church with a sizzix die but i was rushing a bit and couldn't get it to stick together so Katja found me a little wooden bird house that I painted and hung from the top of the box.



My friend made a super cute Easter tree and the other lady made a cool lit up box - mine was definitely the worst!




During the night it came up about my crafting and Katja asked me if I would do a card making evening - so once I have built up some confidence I may take her up on the offer. I may even do a cross stitch evening as may be easier to teach!

Hwgga Studios is fab for the town and Katja has some brilliant ideas for the town and community. Its available for hire for private parties too and she was telling us that they had a childrens party where they made dinosaur boxes! Just need to find a kid to take now haha!
