Wrapping paper is typically designed for a single use and most types of wrapping papers contain gold and silver colouring, glitters and plastic tapes that are not recyclable. On average, It takes 6 mature trees to make a tonne of paper and billions of tonnes of wrapping paper is thrown away worldwide just after Christmas. 

Just in time for the holiday season and in collaboration with Ecoholic, this sustainable gift wrapping workshop will help you learn all about sustainable gift wrapping - upcycling your favourite fabric into lovely gift wraps, and even reusing the wraps as fashion statement accessories. You'll walk away learning 4 to 5 gift wrapping techniques known as Feroushiki, Bojagi with reusable fabric.
Price: AED40 per person. What's included: Learn 4 to 5 gift wrapping techniques and 3-4 other ways of reusing the gift wrap. 2 pieces of silk gift wrapping fabric and 1 silk scrunchie. Note: Kids above 5 years old can participate!
