December's project is bringing a touch of handmade festive magic to your home! This month, we're exploring the beautiful art of metal embossing, combining shimmering metallic foils, delicate details and natural materials to create something rather special for the festive season.

We're keeping the finished design under wraps for now, but we can tell you to expect beautiful copper and gold tones, decorative textures, delicate metallic details and a little bit of festive sparkle. Think warm, glowing colours, intricate patterns and a project that's all about adding those special handmade touches to your Christmas decorations.

There's something wonderfully satisfying about metal embossing. Using simple tools, you can press and shape designs into thin sheets of metal, creating raised patterns and beautiful textures that catch the light. It's a lovely way to experiment with a different material and discover just how much detail you can achieve with a little patience and creativity.

And with Christmas just around the corner, we've chosen a palette that feels particularly fitting for the season. Rich copper and shimmering gold bring warmth and elegance, while natural bamboo and soft white wooden beads add a lovely contrast. It's a combination that feels festive without being too traditional – perfect for adding a little handmade charm to your home.

A Little Festive Embossing

As the festive season approaches, there's something lovely about taking a little time to slow down and make something by hand. Whether it's adding a handmade decoration to your Christmas display or creating something to bring out year after year, those little personal touches can make this time of year feel even more special.

Our December project is all about discovering the possibilities of metal embossing. From experimenting with shapes and patterns to adding layers of texture and metallic detail, it's a chance to try something a little different and create something with plenty of character.

We particularly love how copper and gold work together at this time of year. Their warm, reflective finishes look beautiful alongside natural materials, catching the light and bringing a little extra sparkle to those cosy winter evenings.

So put the Christmas lights on, pop the kettle on and settle down for a little festive creativity. We can't wait to share the finished project with you! ✨

Orders are open now and will close at midnight on Monday 30th November.

The full reveal, along with photographs of the finished project, will be shared soon!
