2023 Brightlingsea Christmas Tree Festival
The Brightlingsea Christmas Tree entry this year was titled “Putting a Lid on Christmas”.
Decorations were all made from lids. A wide variety of lids were used from tiny Tiptree jam lids to large sweet jar ones. A wide cross section of techniques were used from simple collages to intricate stumpwork.
We didn’t win but had a lot of fun making them. Watch out for next year’s entry!
