WREATH MAKING WORKSHOP
with Hannah Welling of Mindful Folk Farm
6 Spots Available
Join us for the first of our Holiday Jubilee weekend events: a wrapping workshop!
Want your holiday packages to stand out and shine? Sometimes the answer is combining efforts and sharing resources. Bring wrapping paper, ribbons and decor to the shop and meet up with other crafters doing the same to create a buffet of wrapping options. Learn wrapping techniques for neater packages, new ways to tie ribbons, and creative ways to re-use and repurpose each year’s packages for more sustainability and less waste.
No time to wrap your own gifts this year? Drop them off and we’ll wrap them for you for a fee. Contact us at hello@craeftshop.com to schedule and discuss your needs.
Stay afterwards and come back on Sunday for even more Holiday Jubilee events.
