Maybe you always cut too much (or too little) wrapping paper and end up in a sticky tape mess? Perhaps you’ve already decided you want to join a class but know you’d struggle in a group and worry that you’d slow everyone down? Or it could be that the dates or venue for joining an in person class don’t work for you (or fit your busy schedule)? If any of these sound familiar, then you’ll love my 60 minute 1-2-1 virtual class. 60 Minute 1-2-1 Class No Replay £67 How to measure exactly how much gift wrapping paper you need so you always know how much to cut (and why it’s important Wrap a box (using the paper & only 3 pieces of tape Learn to tie 2 different styles of bow (and when to use each one) 60 Minute 1-2-1 Class Includes replay £87 How to measure exactly how much gift wrapping paper you need so you always know how much to cut (and why it’s importnat) Wrap a box (using the paper & 3 pieces of tape Learn how to tie 2 different styles of bow (and when to use each one) A replay of the class FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1.
