Year of the Tiger | #ShopFloorHeroes

As we move towards Chinese New Year on February 1st we have been seeing some grrrreat crafts from Hobbycraft colleagues celebrating the year of the tiger!

These tiger lanterns made by #amazingcolleague Heather from Carlisle are so creative! We love the variety of sizes and the skill that has gone in to making them. It is also great to see the store using local hashtags to garner engagement from crafters in the Carlisle area!

Elliot from Hobbycraft Aylesbury has produced this fantastic punch needle tiger using products that can be found in store. This shows the range of materials that can be used to create Chinese New Year crafts, as well as encouraging customers to come in store to get a look at it for themselves. By naming Elliot in the tweet, it makes it easy for shoppers to ask him questions and recreate it themselves! It’s also awesome to see them using the #makeitshareit Hobbycraft hashtags to reach fellow craft enthusiast.

We've absolutely loved seeing the amazing crafts Hobbycraft shop floor heroes have created in Celebration for Chinese New Year! Which project was your favourite?
