It’s the most wonderful time to craft! December is our favorite month for making because we love to create handmade gifts and décor for the holiday season. This month’s Zoom classes will teach you how to use your Silhouette machine to create several fun, festive projects! Check out the classes we’re offering this month.
All Classes
- December 1: Why Silhouette?
- December 8: Paper House Holiday Snow Globe

December 1: Why Silhouette?

There’s always one question we get from makers new to our machines: why Silhouette? This class will teach you the Silhouette basics, from choosing your first machine to navigating Silhouette Studio® and creating your first project. This is a monthly class, so don’t worry if you miss November’s session—we’ll leave the video recording here, and we’ll be teaching this course again next month!

It’s a popular topic, so keep your eye out each month for our new Zoom class listings.
