On Saturday, we held a DIY Christmas
gifts workshop in our Eco-Library. We made boxes, notebooks and
luminaries; Staff had fun preparing lots of examples made out of
reused postcards and different papers so that everybody could choose
the perfect presents to make for their families and friends.
Thanks to Adam from Alfalfa House, who
was the co-organiser of the event, we had one and a half page of
advertisement in the Inner West Courier which was amazing, thank you
a lot to our friends at Alfalfa House.
The workshop was supposed to last for
two hours, but everybody had so much fun that we stayed for over an
hour more, until the store closed and The Bower staff sadly had to go
home, including Thuy, who gets special thanks for helping out and
lending her binding machine.
It was great to see the participants
being so creative: I explained the basics of every project at the
beginning of the workshop, and everybody modified and improved them
with their ideas.
A big thank you to all the
participants! We had lots of fun here, and we hope your families and
friends will enjoy their handmade presents!

Looks like fun! Handmade presents are the most special. I hardly buy anyone anything these days!
