Creating the Paper
1. Unroll the Brown Paper
Measure out enough paper to wrap your gift, and roll it out on a flat surface.
2. Add Your Personal Touch with Stamps, Paint, and Markers
The possibilities are endless. Grab some festive rubber stamps and use ink pads to stamp designs onto the paper. Use the markers to label the gifts and write festive messages. Use watercolor paints or metallic markers can give your wrapping paper a beautiful, elegant look.
4. Optional Bonus: Add Texture and Dimension
For a simple look, leave the paper plain and tie a ribbon around the gift to add pops of color or texture. You could also attach small sprigs of dried greenery/flowers, like pine or holly to give it a rustic feel!
