Homemade Christmas

Make Christmas Feel Like It Used To

Before plastic and packaging, Christmas was made by hand — and this class brings that back. You'll spend a cozy afternoon making three timeless holiday projects that look beautiful, smell incredible, and mean something. Whether you keep them or give them away, everything you make in this class tells a story.

What You'll Make

Dried Orange Garland

Thin-sliced, oven-dried oranges strung with cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, and twine — the kind of garland that makes your whole house smell like Christmas. We'll pre-dry the oranges so you can focus on the assembly and styling, and you'll go home with a finished strand ready to hang.

Old-Fashioned Christmas Ornaments

Simple, sentimental, and nothing like what you'd find at the store. You'll make a set of handcrafted ornaments using natural materials — think dried botanicals, spices, and linen ribbon — that can be packed away and brought out year after year.

 Christmas Simmer Pot Gifts

The most giftable thing in the room. You'll assemble beautiful jarred simmer pot blends — dried oranges, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and evergreen — layered to look as good as they smell. Each one comes with a handwritten tag and makes a perfect neighbor, teacher, or hostess gift.

Also Included

• All supplies and materials
• Coffee or hot cider
• A homemade treat to enjoy while you craft
• Packaging and tags for your simmer pot gifts

This class is designed to be approachable and genuinely fun — no experience needed, just a love of the season and a few slow hours to make something beautiful.
