GOODY BAGS! COMPETITION TIME

GOODY BAGS! There will be a limited number of limited edition We Make Christmas Goody Bags available on the door for £3 each. These bags are reusable cotton Totes that you can carry round the fair and put all of your lovely purchases in.

They are filled with fabulous freebies supplied by the cream of the UK designer/ maker scene, many of whom are selling at We Make Christmas, and just as many who were not able to this time.

The bags themselves are screen printed on one side with the We Make Logo and the back has been designed and decorated by individual We Make sellers. There are almost as many designs available as there are bags so get there early if you spot one you want in order to avoid disapointment!

Our designers have really excelled themselves with these designs so as a thank you we are running a little competition. Here are the bags that each seller has submitted to the competition - the winner receives a free stall at the next We Make event. The winning design will become the special raffle prize bag, filled with an enormous amount of goodies!

Please leave a blog comment with the number of your favourite Tote. You have until December 5th to do so!

Designer Spotlight- Sisily Love

Adding A New Twist To Recycling

Ever wondered what to do with those old unusable vinyls? Keep finding bits of lego that the children are told old to play with. Then take a look at Sisily Love’s fantastic jewellery. Jo brings a whole new life to recycling. Her designs are so stunning that they leave you thinking, wow was that really a old record. Jo’s recreating start from an early age, she loved dressing up as all young girls do. However, Jo could never quite find the right dress or accessory, so she made what she wanted herself. Jo is now recreating her own unique jewellery. Combining techniques and materials that are beyond normal use.

‘I try to create things that have a decadent twist - a story or juxtaposition. I like to refashion things as you have never imagined, changing their significance or purpose - giving the material a greater value by recreating it with a twist of kitsch sparkle. I like my products to be punky and fresh.’

Waiting For We Make Christmas?

Jo is currectly working on some Christmas decorations with a twist. They will be made from vinyl. Silily Loves current vinyl ranges contain beautiful flower brooches and Wrist embellishments.

Jo's vinyl collection all come packaged in handmade boxes made from old vinyl sleeves.

Jo’s Lego range is a big hit, its unique twist design makes it a must have. People are fascinated with a recognisable object in a unrecognisable form. With heat manipulation Jo has turned a common play thing into a stunning design.

Can’t Wait For We Make Christmas?

Silily Love’s stunning creations are available through her Etsy store sisilylove.etsy.com and upcycleme.etsy.com

There will also be a sneak preview of the vinyl Christmas decorations.
