Highlights from our Christmas Carnival Craft Night

Mia & Momtaz from The Make Escape
Last week we got the sparkles out and invited you to join us for our Christmas Craft Night at Hackney Attic. We were so impressed by your creations and we hope everyone who came loves their handmade masterpieces. 
Here's our highlights from the night...

CHRISTMAS KNITTING

We were joined be Madelaine and Dee who inspired us with their woolly wonders and showed newbie and old knitters who needed refreshing, how to knit. 










BEADED CHRISTMAS WREATHS

Beading is a specialist skill and Jewellery Designer Louise Reed ran a fascinating session on how to make an intricate beaded decoration for your Christmas Tree. 






CHRISTMAS CARDS

We were so excited to be joined by the amazing MYO London a new creative craft workshop space near London Bridge. They came with so many ideas for how to make your own Christmas cards.






TREE DECORATIONS

Finally, we love our sewing bee sessions here at The Make Escape so we gathered our most sparkliest fabrics and sequins to show you how to make tree-rific felt decorations. 

To make our night complete we also had top seasonal tunage from our DJs The Spinning Yarns.





THANK YOU
to everyone who has come to our Craft Night this year. We are currently planning for 2018 dates and look forward to seeing you there.

Don't forget we also run private craft workshops and parties too so if you'd like us to organise an event for you get in touch.


Wishing you a Merry Christmas and very Happy Crafty New Year!
