Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose: Come along and learn to make cute gift boxes from all sorts of paper through some simple folding techniques.
You’ll certainly have time to make a small collection during the class, using beautiful and nostalgic paper from Valerie’s own collection. Maybe you’re a bit similar and have collected old books of sheet music, band posters, maps, even pamphlets from a sentimental holiday! These could all be repurposed into useful gift boxes (or keepsake boxes).
Valerie is on a mission to reduce waste, and repurpose everyday materials around us. As such, she’s never having to buy wrapping paper or gift bags, but has a neat method for turning collected paper into cute gifts boxes of all sizes.
This is a lovely way to add a personal touch to your gift giving, or a fun way to organise your desk of all those odd bits a pieces!
A great variety of vintage paper and instruction provided, just come and have some fun! Do think about how to transfer your boxes home safely, and bring along a reusable shopping bag if needed.
What will we cover?
In this hands-on class you will learn how to fold gift boxes from everyday paper – a ratio that works across different sized gift boxes. See what papers and materials work best, and whip up a collection in class.
