Sustainable Gift Wrapping
Collect, craft and create beautiful gift-wrap from scratch
The course
This workshop aims to challenge us all to think differently about gift wrapping, with inspiring tips and industrious ideas to create original, sustainable and beautiful parcels for your loved ones. You’ll learn some simple techniques – from printing with everyday objects, to crafting paper flowers – and have the chance to explore your creativity.
Sustainable Gift Wrapping
Sustainable gift wrapping doesn’t just save money and the environment, it shows your loved ones you’ve taken the time to make a gift extra special. Getting creative with your parcels can super therapeutic too! Its great fun to see what you can make with what you’ve got lying around the house, rather than rushing to the shops for something shiny and new. Eco gift wrapping is all about giving you some ‘me time’ to experiment and create something beautiful for others
