THERE was lots of fun and laughter to be had at Newton Abbot WI’s recent Christmas swag workshop.

The session was led by the group’s very own Sue Hodges, affectionately known as Miss November.

Sue gave a demonstration about how to make the popular front door decoration, before encouraging her fellow WI ladies to make their own.

‘Lots of fun and laughter was had in the making of the beautiful smelling swags’, says Karen Jenks, president of Newton Abbot WI.

‘As always, a huge thank you to Sue for another idea for a Christmas decoration’, Karen added.

A Christmas swag is an evergreen decoration made from fresh greenery such as holly, red berries, warm white clear lights, bristle, pinecones, and evergreens.

It is often decorated with ribbons, bows, and other festive elements.
