Christmas lyric video, made by hand

Workshop sets your song on a Christmas craft table, a bit like Santa's workshop. Every line is cut, stamped, foiled, stitched or knitted as it is sung, under a warm lamp and fairy lights.

Morrow Circuit · Light in the Wire · original instrumental, no vocal, words timed by hand · sound on play

Every word made by hand

Letters are cut from card, stamped onto a gift tag, pressed in shiny foil, stitched in an embroidery hoop or knitted a row at a time. The camera moves across the table between your lines, and the chorus comes back to the same craft each time so the hook feels familiar.

Cosy, then cold

The table takes its colours from your cover, with a Christmas red or green where it needs one. The bridge turns frosty, instrumental breaks are knitted, and paper snowflakes drift past. Pace keeps an upbeat song lively, so it never feels too sweet.

Ready for every screen

Workshop lays out its own 16:9 video and its own 9:16 clip, keeping the words clear of the edges. Preview it free with your own song, then download when it looks right.

Shuffle changes the table, the papers and prints, the camera, the handmade wobble, and the crafts and font when they’re on Our pick. Anything you’ve picked yourself stays.

These are the current editor choices. Some fonts depend on the letters in your song; the editor checks them before you choose.

A few things to know

Which crafts make the lyrics?

Cut paper, rubber stamps, a foil gift tag, embroidery and knitting. Most songs get four or five of them, or you can choose one for the whole song.

Does it only work for Christmas songs?

It is made for them, and a song that is clearly about Christmas gets it as its first pick. Any song can use it.

Can I change the Christmas colours?

The table takes its colours from your cover. Palette also offers Classic, in cranberry and pine, and Frost, in midnight blue and ice.
