Summer Fair and Fête season is upon us!
It’s the perfect excuse to bake and make for good causes!
Fêtes and fairs are a great way to get involved with your community, child’s school, or simply a chance to contribute to a fun event.
You can take along craft projects to a fête, to either decorate or sell.
A craft idea to inspire your fête creations…
Fabric bunting can be knocked up in no time with a pair of pinking shears, some pretty fabrics and speedy stitching! It’s a colourful way to decorate a stall, or a fun item to sell to raise money! To make your own beautiful bunting, check out this guide from Hobbycraft.
And, of course, we have some delicious suggestions of bakes for fêtes!
Cupcakes, traybakes and tasty cakes would all sell wonderfully at a fête, pleasing children and adults alike! Take a look at our Bakes for Fêtes recipe collection below to find some inspiration for your upcoming fêtes or fairs.
