Cut the wrap
Learn how to wrap gifts in sustainable ways
In this course, you will learn about sustainable gift wrapping alternatives. Most wrapping paper is not recyclable because it contains plastic. It is fun to unwrap a gift. But it isn't fun to create a giant mountain of waste destined for landfill in the process. So learn beautiful ways to wrap gifts, without the rubbish at the end!
