Ever find yourself with down time? The craft section is the place to be! It spans over a collection of marquees placed in a horseshoe formation near the clocktower. There are a total of thirty-three arts and crafts for you to choose from and there is something for everyone.
Wanting to make something lovely and easy? The foam flowers are pretty and simple to make. Lou, from Market Rasen Guides and Scouts, Wild West Fest, says “it is very popular for all age groups.” And if that doesn't prove how effortless it is to do, “even someone with a broken finger did it!” It should also be known that Leaders are welcome and can take inspiration back to their units. It is the place to be “if you want to chill and have some quiet for 10 minutes.”
Jenna from 15th Hillfoots Rangers, a 50/50 volunteer for the craft area, Wonder Fest, is very happy to be volunteering at the craft section. “It's more fun volunteering than I thought,” and is “great for people who don't want to do a big thing but want to do something.”
The beaded creature tent made a new friend on Sunday as a frog spent its whole day hopping about and keeping follow crafters company. To commemorate their new friendship the beaded creature on Monday was a frog. The type of beaded creature getting crafted changes each day- make sure not to miss your favourite animal!
Over at jewellery box decorating, Hannah and Isla from the St. Alban North division, Folk Fest, are enjoying their down time and taking it at their own pace.
There were one hundred and twenty tiles and eighty-three bags painted on Sunday. And of course it wouldn’t be a jamboree without friendship bracelets! Wax candle carving is a satisfying and enjoyable activity but make sure to wait until you get home to burn it! The bag making corner also has a wall of happiness - get brainstorming so you can add your positive message. Other crafts include; dream catcher making, cross-stitching, quilling, Hama beads, and much more! Get down there as soon as you have spare time.
