The Gift Wrap & Styling Workshop will teach you how to recycle and re-purpose all the ribbons and papers you have collected through out the year, including last Christmas!  Gabriela’s fun and practical workshop is designed for all of you who would love to give styled packages to your loved ones but with a “green” perspective.

We will start the workshop by having a closer look at the materials and tools students have brought and will discuss the best use of them.  The instructor will describe 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 you 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 December 5 workshop where you can win a copy of Gabriela’s new Gift Styling Book.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS LIST is listed below, you can ask at the CECC front desk or download from Gabriela’s website.
