What better way to get your home ready for the festive season than with cute, mischievous little Gonks?
Get ready for the festive season with a mischievous little gonk of your own! In this fun macramé workshop with Sólveig, you’ll learn how to make the hat, beard and nose to create your very own cheeky chap (or chapette).
