We had a few technical glitches yesterday: some of you might have received duplicate messages, while others didn’t get anything at all. All the upcoming materials, activities, and festive surprises will be published as planned in the bot: t.me/cupofeltmaterials_bot

I’m really sorry for the confusion and appreciate your patience as I work to resolve it.
📌 Day 2: Hand-made ornaments
🎄 Hi bestie! It's your elf Yuliya again! 🎅

I stumbled upon these adorable videos of people making hand-made ornaments. They’re oh-so-charming! 💚

Are you Team Crafty or Team Store-Bought?
🎄 Me, myself? I’m super excited to craft that cinnamon cookie branch - I even bought the cookie cutters, lol. So, I guess I’m a bit of both crafty and store-bought! 😄

If you’re feeling inspired, why not use these videos as a little warmer or lead-in to a discussion with your students?
✨ For lower levels: Ask them what they think about this trend and whether they’d like to create something of their own.
✨ For higher levels: This could spark a fascinating discussion about over-consumption vs. under-consumption—a core topic for thoughtful conversations.
