INTRODUCTION TO GIFT WRAPPING
First Class:
During the first day of the course the focus will be on learning and understanding the materials we will use in the process. The instructor will give a brief lecture and a gift wrapping demonstration will follow. Students will learn about proportion, design, colour and wrapping styles. They will have an opportunity to discuss ways to fold and embellish their presents sharing what they’ve learned and how to use decorative materials.
Students will then learn how to gift wrap using a box or container included in the Gift Wrapping Workshop Kit. They will decorate it using embellishments such as: flowers, ribbons, stickers, tags, etc. The instructor will talk gift wrapping trends for the season, where to buy materials and provide students with an information sheet.

GIFT WRAPPING COMPETITION
Second Class:
Students will participate in a competition on how to decorate their presents using gift wrapping materials and embellishments included in their Gift Wrapping Workshop Kit. Students will then compare their entire gift wrapped presents.
They will then vote and decide who the winner is. The winner of the contest will receive free gift wrapping samples.
Who is the Gift Wrapping Workshop designed for?
The Gift Wrapping Workshop is designed for anyone who is interested in learning how to gift wrap beautiful gifts, to learn the techniques and about the materials available in the market.
The benefits of attending the workshop are:
Students will learn a great deal about the importance of gift wrapping as a presentation tool, as well as about design, colour and wrapping styles.
They will leave with their own beautifully gift wrapped present.
Will I need to return to collect work at a later date?
No, students will leave with their beautifully gift wrapped present on the last class. They will also receive informative handouts summarizing on what they learned during the workshop and where to buy materials.
