Kit for 2026 Bedfordshire Baubles

This is the kit to accompany the 2026 Bedfordshire Baubles workshop.

Instructor: Louise West

Course Description: The annual Bedfordshire Baubles have arrived. Some years they're basic ornament shapes but this year they're all Christmas designs, including a gingerbread girl to match last year's gingerbread boy. (We'll offer the boy next summer for Christmas In July (or August) so they can be united.) We’ll start with a pair of bells. The gingerbread girl will be the second class, and a beautifully wrapped gift will take two weeks to do in the last classes.
