Hello Reader,

A very warm welcome if you're new here. Every couple of weeks, I pop into your inbox with a little gift wrapping inspiration, ideas to try and, quite often, a peek at what I've been practising too.

​
​What did you find in your wrapping supplies? 🎁
​

In my last newsletter, I suggested having a little sort through of your gift wrapping supplies before the Christmas wrapping season gets into full swing.
​

So, did you manage it?
​

Perhaps you discovered a few forgotten rolls of paper, ribbons you didn't know you had, or a collection of leftover pieces of wrapping paper that seemed too good to throw away.
​

Well, don't get rid of those smaller pieces just yet!
​

This week's idea: Not Enough Paper!
​

We've all been there. You've got two pieces that aren't quite big enough to go around your gift...so before you reach for another sheet, there's a simple trick that might save the day.
​

I recorded this video for Advent of Wrapping to show you what you can do!
​

​
​It's a handy technique to have up your sleeve, especially if you're trying to make better use of your wrapping supplies and reduce waste.
​

And if you've discovered a few smaller pieces of paper during your clear-out, why not have a go?
​

Fancy learning a few more gift wrapping techniques? 🎀
​

I know from some of your lovely replies that travelling to Leyburn, North Yorkshire, for my November signature in-person gift wrapping class simply wasn't practical for everyone.
​

So I wanted to let you know that I have other gift wrapping classes and events coming up, and there might be something that's a little closer to home or works better with your plans.
​

You can explore what's coming up on my Gift Wrapping Workshops & Events Hub, where you'll find details of my upcoming classes and events.

And if you're joining me at Leyburn in November, I'm very much looking forward to seeing you!
​

Until next time...
​

Keep those leftover pieces of paper handy. You never know when they'll come in useful!

Happy wrapping! 🎁

​
Lou
