I love making my own decorations at this time of year. There’s something so lovely about hanging up things you have made yourself. For a fun, festive craft activity, the Hobbycraft Christmas Elf Sewing Kit allows you to create your own decorations! This pack contains the essential bits and bobs (except for tacky glue and basic sewing needle) to make an adorable elf character for the Christmas season.
Simply follow the step by step instructions in the pack to create a very festive Santa’s little helper. Using the felt shapes provided, follow the instructions to sew, fill and glue your way to a decorative Christmas elf. Once complete, you will have your very own festive character to display for all to see!
The sewing kit includes: Thread, Stuffing, Pom Pom, 2 x Buttons, Instructions & Assorted Felt Shapes. Glue and a needle is not included so you will need tacky glue and a basic sewing kit.
