Gift Wrapping, w. Amanda White

There are very few arts that just about everyone has a go at; but there's a definite art to wrapping presents, if you think about it. Many people, disappointed by their efforts, get discouraged and then decide they don't like doing it. What a shame, to get the dreads every upcoming birthday or gift-giving festival.
Professional gift wrapper Amanda White is all about helping people to enjoy doing that simple but lovely thing of wrapping presents to be proud to hand over; gifts that look smart, chic, fun or all three, and of course these days using eco-friendly materials too.
Amanda talks to Frances about doing the work she loves, and ahead of some of her seasonal workshops, kindly offers a few invaluable tips.
