AVA October Membership Gathering – “The Christmas Spider” Craft with Jeanne Dahlke

Join us for a cozy and creative evening at our upcoming AVA Membership Gathering, led by the talented Jeanne Dahlke! In the spirit of the season, Jeanne will guide us in creating a “Christmas Spider” ornament using beads and beautiful embellishments — a sparkling addition to your holiday décor with a heartwarming backstory.

She also shared with us the legend of the Christmas Spider — a magical tale from Germany that explains why we hang tinsel on our trees and why every Christmas tree should have a spider nestled in its branches. As the story goes, Santa himself turned dusty webs into shimmering silver and gold, leaving a tree more beautiful than ever.

Come for the story, stay for the crafting, and enjoy an evening of connection, creativity, and holiday magic with fellow AVA members. We’ll provide the supplies — just bring your festive spirit!
