Over the last term our enterprise group planned to make and sell little trinkets and decorations.
We needle felted with Ann Marie Anderson, making lots of little trinkets, like gonks, Christmas tree ornaments. Most of us loved them so much we took them home. We also made decorations, like balls of wool with knitting needles which we sold at the Whalsay Wool Week “Makin and Yakin” for £3 each. We even got a commission for some more. We made £80 towards materials for further enterprise opportunities for next year. Some people made fairies with pipe cleaners and fabric; little hats with carboard tubes and wool and Christmas cards
Pupils enjoyed the needle felting, making and selling the yarn balls!
The needle felting was considered the best, enjoyed the most and pupils hoped to do it again!
