Course overview

Join like-minded crafters and our enthusiastic tutor and create a range of beautiful gift bags and boxes, along with gorgeous personalised tags and decorative bows. This course is all about the gift wrapping and we will be making lovely gift boxes in a range of sizes – and with the formula I will share with you you can make them any size you wish! We will also be making gift bags in a variety of sizes all with matching gift tags and finished off with a handmade bow. Utilising the skills you already have and hopefully adding some new ones we will make our own festive wrapping, all matching and looking fabulous under the tree. Crafting is a fun and rewarding way to enhance your mental well-being, helping to manage the stress we often feel at this time of year. Come and join our friendly fun group and get crafting! This course is for beginners to paper-crafting and for those who are creating gift bags and boxes for the first time. More experienced crafters are of course welcome too.

Course description

Discover the wonderful world of crafts with this creative course. Whether you're a long-time craft lover who

wants a new skill or simply looking to dip your toe into a new hobby, you'll love this craft course. Your tutor will

guide you through the process of creating your bags and boxes step by step, and there will be ample

opportunity to ask questions, and to share your thoughts, ideas and inspiration with the rest of the group.

We will be using our digital platform ‘Canvas’ to set clear objectives and upload our completed projects to a

weekly discussion to share our feedback across the group.

During this course we will discover: · why it is so important to be accurate when measuring and cutting our card and papers? · Is it essential to score your card-stock and what happens if you don’t? · New craft skills to create your own bags and boxes from scratch · Create a personalised set of gift-wrap for someone special · Apply new skills and approaches to other craft designs and future projects. You do not need any special tools to attend this course, however a score board would be incredibly useful, especially for bigger boxes and bags. Large patterned paper pads 12” x 12”, some glue and double sided tape, pencil, ruler eraser. By the end of this creative course, you'll be hooked on crafting and you may want to consider further crafting and papercraft courses such as ‘Christmas in September- getting a head start on handmade Christmas cards. Or maybe Festive Fun Makes or Delve into Decoupage are more your thing – whichever you decide to do just bring yourself and some enthusiasm.
