 This isn't just another craft class. 

Merry Makers is an entire day to create, laugh, eat, relax and soak up all the Christmas fun!

Leave the holiday to-do list at home and spend the day at The Painted Butterfly creating beautiful Christmas projects, enjoying good food and spending time with other women who love getting creative.

And the best part?

We do all the planning. You just show up ready to have fun.

 YOUR MERRY MAKERS DAY INCLUDES 

  •  🎨 5+ Christmas Projects 


    You'll create a variety of Christmas projects throughout the day. We've planned a fun mix of projects, techniques and materials so you're not spending eight hours making the same type of craft.

  •  🍴 Food & Treats 


    We're keeping our Merry Makers fueled! Food and treats are included throughout the day.

  • 🎉 Games, Giveaways & Surprises 


    It wouldn't be a Painted Butterfly retreat without a little extra fun. Expect games, giveaways and a few surprises along the way.

 This Is Your Christmas Craft Day 

❤️ 8 HOURS OF CREATIVE TIME No rushing through a project and heading home. You get an entire day to create, visit, laugh and enjoy yourself. Come with friends or come by yourself.

You don't need to be "crafty." You don't need to know anyone. And you don't need to bring a carload of supplies.

We'll take care of the details.

You'll leave with Christmas projects you've made yourself, new ideas, great memories and hopefully a little more holiday spirit than you came in with.

 🎄 WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT 

Merry Makers isn't a regular weekly workshop.

It's a special once-a-year event with limited seating.

Once the seats are filled, they're filled.

If you've been waiting for an excuse to grab your friends and spend an entire day crafting together...

THIS IS IT.
