Craft fair aftermath

It’s official- mini notebook necklaces are a hit! They very nearly sold out at last Sunday’s Christmas craft fair at Delapre abbey. Here they are all tucked up waiting for their new owners:
Mini notebook necklaces for sale!

We had a new frame made for this event to hang the origami mobiles on, which also went down a treat:

The event itself was fantastic- the volunteers did an amazing job, the place looked great and it was so busy. We even got a visit from Santa!

All in all a brilliant day- really hope we get asked back again next year.

Froebel star wreath

I posted about these folded paper stars last month – easy when you get used to them and fun to make! Not quite origami, these folded paper stars are made using four equal strips of paper.

Once I got into it I made loads, and have now turned them into pretty wreaths and hanging mobiles:
