You're Invited to Handmade Holiday- Dec 13th

By Crafting Community benefiting HOLA

November 20, 2014

 Crafting Community is treating Los Angeles to a holiday extravaganza of epic proportions - it’s Handmade Holiday!
Dec 13  10-4
at the Lombardi House 

This innovative event is designed to create a window in time that cultivates creativity and imagination. Take a day off from the crowds and join their expert crew of celebrated designers for a series of festive workshops that give you all the tools you need to make fabulous holiday gifts for your loved ones. The only thing better than giving a gift to someone you love, is giving a gift you have made with love. In the spirit of the season, a percentage of the event’s proceeds will benefit LA’s beloved community center, HOLA.

Handmade Holiday’s unique workshops will include: 


Ornament Bar: Put the trimmings on personalized globe ornaments with glitter, paint and tinsel to create special decorations for everyone on your list. Using Martha Stewart Crafts ® products, Crafting Community will put their spin on this festive holiday staple.

Customized Holiday Cards: Crafting Community is thrilled to partner with everyone’s favorite L.A.-based letterpress stationer, Sugar Paper, for an exciting workshop that will include a Smilebooth photo booth and customized letterpress cards with cheerful Sugar Paper liners.

Wrapping Station: Southern California-based Avery will present the ultimate wrapping station to put the finishing touches on the day’s creations, with custom labels for each family designed by Crafting Community.

God’s Eyes: A classic craft in a beautifully modern color palette - guests will have the opportunity to weave these magical objects traditionally created for celebration, gifting or to bless a home.

Succulent Gardens: These ornamental plants come alive when painted in an array of cool and unusual colors! Guests will also get to weave a beaded hanging to display them in style.

Leather: Guests will adorn adorable leather wrap bracelets and accessories with colorful, confetti studs.

Alongside these inspiring crafts, Crafting Community will be serving up a wealth of other holly jolly activities for the entire family:

Nail Art Bar: Those looking to be festive for the flurry of holiday parties, can stop by the beauty bungalow for Hint Water’s custom nail art bar with manicurist’s from Olive & June’s!

Pop Up Shop: If the urge to shop kicks in, there will be an on-site Crafting Community Pop Up curated by artist Karen Kimmel. Featuring the debut of Crafting Community’s product line, selected goodies from Karen Kimmel Studio and next-level versions of the on site workshop crafts produced by the Crafting Community team, it is unlikely anyone will go home empty handed!

Fashion Fun With Undefeated: For the clothing inclined, guests can decorate tee shirts from LA bastion of cool, Undefeated.

Yummy Things: If all of this holiday wonderfulness has left you famished, there will be no shortage of delicious treats: an incredible snack station from Whole Foods, Quin Candy’s hot chocolate, cookie decorating with Isabella’s Cookies and mini ice cream sandwiches from Coolhaus!

No detail has been forgotten, from stroller parking with Ergo Baby to custom Crafting Community wrapping paper from Spoonflower in the swoon worthy gift bags. 

This December, Handmade Holiday promises to be an unforgettable event filled with family fun, crafting, music, quality time, treats and inspiration beyond your wildest dreams!
