I've been reflecting on a gorgeous workshop earlier this month.
The atmosphere was relaxed and informal. I gave a demo showing how to wrap 4/5 different shapes and ways.
Then silence fell - everyone became totally emersed in their own worlds as they wrapped a gift for themselves or someone special.
This gift wrap was so much fun! I love taking paper not normally associated with gift wrapping and producing parcels like these.
It's also a great way of championing brands I love like the iconic Greggs bakers based where I live in North East England.
Perfect for a sausage roll fan's birthday!
Bottles can be a tricky thing to wrap. Here is a little showcase of four different ways I love wrap mine.
These methods can also be used for candles.
I also love this combination of pink and green - a favourite of mine.
I’ve been having some really interesting sustainablilty chats recently and showing teams my top tips for reusable gift wrapping.
Instead of buying new wrapping paper each time, why not use what you have? This means you can reduce waste, cost and personalise pressies.
They make great talking points, add nostalgia and are just fun.
When I took timeout from the 'work world', I did a LOT of thinking to help me decide what to do next.
I thought hard about what I really, really love doing and decided to follow my heart and do what I love.
So far working for myself been liberating, a little scary, exciting and very rewarding.
I've collaborated with amazing brands and been supported by inspiring entrepreneurs. So far, so good!
Working with this double-sided Jane Means paper is a joy.
This is a gift wrap for a private client.
I love how the mustard trellis print on the inside gives an extra wow when the gift is opened. And it’s perfect for pleating too.
The complimentary grey and cream striped grosgrain ribbon is a lovely finishing touch.
