Explore the beauty of native flora as you create your own handmade Christmas decoration. Choose from a festive bauble, wreath, or star and let your creativity bloom as you craft something special for your home or a thoughtful handmade Christmas gift. Through creative floral play, you’ll experiment with natural materials and bring a touch of Country into your festive celebrations, creating a piece that celebrates the beauty and character of Australian botanicals.
