Celebrate the holidays while adding a colorful chandelier of paper flowers, string, and other ephemera  to your home by making a traditional Polish Pajaki!

Pronounced Pah-yonk-ee, this traditional craft is created by the women of Poland at times of celebration - weddings, holidays, christenings, or springtime.

We’ll work with metal hoops, paper straws, twine, paper flowers, pom poms, hand marbled wooden beads, and much more to create a one-of-a-kind decorative ‘chandelier’ that roughly measures 12” round x 24” long. These are traditionally hung around holidays as a decoration for the home, but can also just be hung from the ceiling year around. 

Choose your colors and materials to make it your own!
