The Merry-ful Christmas Album Craft Class (1 Day)

The Merry-ful Christmas Album Class (1 Day to Complete)

We will teach you how to make an 8 1/4" square archival quality album in one lesson. Helping you to turn memories and ideas into perfect keepsakes and gifts.

It's a great class for beginners and those with album making experience. 

Your premium archival quality album making supplies are provided, including: 

• Coordinated Graphic 45 Merry-ful Christmas papers and ephemera
• Construction board
• Black card
• Plus any embellishments 

You will have a workspace and cutting mat provided, some hand tools and materials including consumables at your disposal, but feel free to bring any of your favourite tools.

Your class tutor will be Debbie Wyatt our creative director, and you will be supported from our staff. You can pick up new knowledge, skills, ideas, tips and techniques during this class.

You get to take away the detailed step-by step instructions and dimensions, access to a YouTube video so you can do it all again, your finished album, any unused materials given in the kit, and of course meeting new craft community friends.
