A ONE DAY ONLY WORKSHOP TO LEARN AND SHARE

*Attendees are requested to bring all materials and tools to be used at the class. They will get together, share and swap them with others if desired. Sometimes we have too much of the same. They will use and transform them into beautiful creations.

GIFT WRAP STYLING WORKSHOP

Saturdays - November 28 & December 5 – From 1:45pm to 3:45pm

We will start the workshop having a closer look at the materials and tools students brought and will discuss the best use of them. The instructor will talk about Gift Styling and Gift Wrapping Trends. This is a great opportunity to express yourself and also show how much the recipient means to you. You will experience layering papers to add special details to your packages. You will also be mixing and matching patterns, as well as colors, and textures. And also will learn how to turn your left over plastic bows into flowers! Discover the beauty of paper all over again! Learn how to create beautiful pleated paper gift toppers. We will have a draw at the end of the class where you can win a copy of Gabriela’s new Gift Styling Book.
