Zero Waste Gift Wrapping Workshop

Join us for a zero waste gift wrapping workshop, led by Ariana Storniolo, where you'll learn how to decorate and secure gifts, minus the waste. It's estimated ~4.6 million lbs. of wrapping paper is produced in the U.S. each year, and about 2.3 million pounds ends up in landfills. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to secure gifts by reusing what we have, featuring salvaged packaging paper, twine, and more. We will provide limted materials, but encourange participants to bring your own supplies and gifts to wrap!

There is a suggested donation of 20$ per participant.

Acceptable materials includes:

- Salvaged packaging paper

- Upcycled tissue paper

- Newspaper

- Scarves, sheets, blankets or scrap fabric

- Twine, string or ribbons from last year
