Ready to add a handmade flourish to your gifting this year? Join us in this workshop as we make handmade greeting cards, wrapping paper and gift tags to really make the holidays special. With simple supplies, you can create bold, colorful and festive wrapping papers and tags to make all your gifts special this season. For those gifts that need to be sent in the mail, we’ll be creating our very own holiday cards and finishing them off with decorated envelopes. It will be a festive and fun workshop, just in time for all your wrapping and shopping procrastination.

Supplies You Will Need

Chelsea’s Amazon Workshop Supplies

• Watercolor paper, at least #120. Canson 8×10″ bound sketchbooks are great.
• Brushes, sizes 2-4
• Bakers twine or ribbon
