Description
Did you know, most wrapping paper is completely unrecyclable? And yet making your own reusable, recyclable wrapping paper is super easy, and you get to decorate it yourself!
We will be running a fun, festive drop-in session where students will have the chance to decorate and take home their very own wrapping paper, using paint and potato stamps.
How to attend
No need to book. This will be a drop in session, so you can come by whenever you are free and stay as long as you want!
