Get Creative


Let me introduce you to the ultra creative Rachel Smith, owner of the craft workshop company 'Craft Me Pretty'.

Rachel's workshop is Based in Grantham and she regularly runs weekend workshops in everything from creating wedding accessories to lamp making at lovely venues across the Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire area.



Rachel was approached by lots of 'hens' who wanted to do something a little different for their parties and so she started running jewellery making events where friends could have fun whilst learning something new.  Rachel's sister company 'The Handmade Hen' offers the very best in hen party activities using fabulous venues all across the UK.  Every bride to be is catered for as Rachel has created not just wedding jewellery and tiara making workshops, but has a whole array of fun and quirky hen crafting parties to choose from.



Hen Party Fun


 How about choosing a 'Cupcake Making Party' where you and your friends can make fabulous cupcake bouquets, each decorating 7 delicious cupcakes using butter icing, sprinkles, sparkles and hand made fondant shapes.  Cupcakes and sugar paper flowers are then formed into a bouquet shape, wrapped in cellophane, secured with lovely ribbons and kept pristine to show off to family and friends in personalized gift bags.




Or how about this for a really fun idea for a hen party, 'Knicker Decorating Party'. Decorate your party pants with a fabulous array of ribbons, lace, diamante, paints, buttons and more. Now that should be a very fun two hours!


Always on the look out for ways to bring the wonderful world of craft to her customers, Rachel has also created a range of lovely items for you to buy straight from her Craft Me Pretty website.  My favourite range is the vintage silver plated hand stamped cutlery.  What a lovely gift these reasonably priced items would make.  Rachel takes the time to make sure that they are extra special by wrapping the lovingly shined cutlery in ribbon and tissue paper and sent out in a brown paper parcel tied with string - how lovely to receive a parcel like that!




I will leave the last words from a very satisfied customer, but before I do, I will say that if ever you or a friend fancy trying your hand at some of the wonderful craft workshops from Craft me Pretty or The Handmade Hen, Rachel will always do her best to create an experience that you will love, where ever you live in the country.



"Fantastic! It is what is says, a course for beginners. Takes you through the basics to produce several items of jewelry, of which you get to take home. The tutor was very helpful and willingly went over anything that wasn't clear to the students. I look forward to her next course and will be booking that. Finally if you are just starting I would recommend this course.
