Discover how to make a Christmas wreath
Christmas traditions vary between families, but one of the most popular classics is the hanging of a Christmas wreath on the front door. But why buy a wreath when you could make one instead?
Christmas wreath making classes are the perfect seasonal activity. Gather your friends and family and create a truly unique piece that’ll be the envy of the whole neighbourhood. You’ll be taught by a local florist, who’ll provide a variety of festive flora, fauna and foliage. Go for a classic Christmas colour scheme like red, green and gold, or a contemporary minimalist look of true white and silver. Customise a Christmas wreath to be exactly what you want it to be and preserve it for use for years to come.

Learn to craft DIY Christmas decorations
Another timeless Christmas tradition is the decorating of the tree. Christmas trees stand as special reminders of the seasons spent with your loved ones, and each and every bauble holds a memory of the time you either bought or made it. Handmade Christmas baubles add that special touch, particularly when they’re made surrounded by friends or family.
If you’re looking for Christmas things to do in Sydney with kids, book onto a DIY Christmas baubles class and watch their eyes set alight with glee. Getting hands-on with arts and crafts will allow you to take a much-needed breather, but it’s also a soothing activity for children to take part in, requiring their focus and concentration.
