Spend the morning getting creative and festive with the family.

Join as at The Bunkhouse to weave a family willow wreath and decorate it with natural materials and ribbons. Then each saw a disc slice, decorate it and hang on your wreath.

You can then get creative with log slices and sticks to create ornamental reindeers or elves for your table/tree.
