How To Make DIY Wrapping Paper

Are you tired of the same old gift-wrapping routine? This year, add a personal and creative touch to your gifts with this super simple DIY project. With only a few supplies and an easy process, this project is fun for the whole family. Get ready to impress your loved ones with beautifully wrapped presents that are as delightful on the outside as they are on the inside! Here’s how you can create your own wrapping paper:

What you need:

• Paper (we used white craft paper)
• Brushes (we used lining fitches for our precise and detailed patterns)
• Sample pots in your chosen colours

How you do it:

Step 1: Choose Your Pattern

First things first, decide on the pattern (or in our case, patterns) you want to create for your wrapping paper. Our theme was colourful. We played around with simple stripes, chequered patterns, polka dots and more. Remember, the possibilities are endless, so the only limit is your imagination.

Step 2: Paint Your Pattern

Now, it's time to bring your design to life! Apply the paint to your paper, following your chosen pattern. Enjoy the process and don’t get too caught up in making it perfect. This project is as much about the finished product as it is about the process. We want the personal touch to shine through. Allow the paint to dry fully before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Wrap with Style

Once your DIY wrapping paper is dry, it's time to wrap your presents. Cut the paper to the appropriate size, ensuring you have enough to cover the gift completely. With the painted side facing out, carefully wrap the present, securing it with tape or ribbon as desired.

This simple DIY project is the perfect way to add some much-needed joy to your gift-wrapping routine. Let your imagination soar and create personalised patterns that enhance the gift giving experience for all involved. Head to your local Inspirations Paint store for all the painting supplies you need.
