I have been creating costumes and props for the last 15 years for school theatre productions with a wonderful team of volunteers. As part of this, I ran a craft group to create the many props, costumes and craft pieces. I've now started my own business - Imagine by Samantha.

After the 2020 Covid interrupted year, I really wanted to bring back that feeling of getting together in a craft workshop and enjoy some face to face contact. My first Class Bento workshops last year were designed to create some festive cheer, so I set about designing some easy beginner Christmas gnome sets to make in a workshop and take them home for decorating your home or giving them as a beautiful handmade gift.

One of my other favourite activities over the years has been creating handmade fabric and cardboard flowers which I used in embellishments in various costumes and props. With Mother's Day coming up, I have created some beautiful Mother's Day gifts with an array of 3 dimensional fabric flowers presented in a shadow box to show that special appreciation for your Mum with the option of including a photo or Mother's Day wishes.

I love creating using recycled items and up-cycling items where possible. For the Festive gnomes I approached a local company to obtain 100% recycled plastic pellets from their manufacturing process and have used some vintage jumpers to make some of the hats too.
