    Yes. Decide the total items (e.g. 6 ornaments) you or your group want to make and chose that option on the booking page. It will show you where there is a spot for all back to back. We only need the information of the person booking the appointment, not for each person in the group. This saves you from having to check out several times and it keeps you all together making each item one at a time.
