CRAFT sessions are to be held on the run up to Christmas to get everyone in the Yuletide mood.

Stockton Central Library is holding a series of free Twelve Days of Christmas events - with some great craft ideas.

Everyone is welcome to get along on Friday mornings from 10am to 11.30am, starting on October 3, running through to December, where, using some fantastic computer programmes, Christmas stationery can be created for a fraction of the cost.

For example, people can create their own personalised Christmas cards and envelopes and advent calendars.

And they can also learn to set up mailing lists and create labels, saving time rather than individually handwriting every single address on envelopes.

There will be twelve free drop-in sessions in total, with three separate themes all held in the Open Technology Centre, within Stockton Central Library.

You will also find out how to use the internet to discover different and special recipes to make your Christmas dinner go down a treat.
