Handmade cards, gifts and ornaments can show how much you really care and this year when at a distance from loved ones, your thoughtful handiwork can make this holiday season a special one. To spark your creativity this season at Five Fields we have wonderful gift ideas to make and give or for the artist in your life interestin­g kits and gift boxes that will keep everyone busy all winter. This holiday season we welcome Wild Flower Studios from Texas, and their innovative lettering and calligraph­y kits. If you have a Sloan Ranger in your life we have Annie Sloan gift sets, plus her wonderful books and magazines.

Iron Orchid is new to us and we are addicted! Transfers, stamps, clays and acrylics, we haven’t even scratched the surface of all we can make with Iron Orchid. Our favourite combinatio­n is Annie Sloan paint and Iron Orchid stamps, they work together to stamp fabric for a holiday pillows or napkins, they can stamp cards & wrap for a personal touch to any gift, and don’t forget they can stamp wood for fun personaliz­ed signs. Our favourite stamp project is the personaliz­ed advent calendar, using the black paint, little muslin bags, and our number stamps these little bags are transforme­d into dated gift bags hung all over the tree and opened each day of advent. Another favourite project is using the IOD moulds they are beautifull­y detailed whether you use them for resin, sugar, chocolate or clay they make the most wonderful ornaments, jewellery and treats! Creating Christmas in your own way this year can fill this holiday season with joy and love.

Be Well, Be Merry from everyone at Five Fields!
