Santa was all a-glow at this year’s annual Spins & Needles Craft-mas installment in Ottawa two weeks ago…likely because he saw all the little elves cranking out some holiday goodness for all the good boys and girls on his list!
It was a crazy packed Friday party night, with people anxious to get their DIY holiday on, with wreaths, ornaments and finger puppets being furiously whipped up before the clock struck 12(30ish). The halls were definitely decked while DJs Jason Pelletier and Meterman spun some yuletide beats.
Special thanks to Vertigo Records for providing some sweet swag for our raffle, and Local Tourist Ottawa for the write-up on the event.
Here’s some highlights from the night, with the full Flickr set here. Instructions for the retro wreath can be found here, and there’ll be instructions for LED holiday ornaments and holiday finger puppets in the next couple of posts!

Retro-inspired holiday wreath instructions found here.

We’re not sure who the purple guy is, we think it’s a moustached elf…

These guys were getting ready to build a treehouse we think…

Lucky winner of the Vertigo hoodie – plus it was her birthday night out!
This is our last Spins & Needles party for the year, but not to fear, we’ll be back with some more awesome programming in the new year!
