Homemade Wrapping Paper

This craft is such an easy way to show some extra love this Christmas. My kids made this homemade wrapping paper to wrap their Grandma’s gifts with. I highly recommend trying this one out… Their Grandma thought it was so special and ended up saving it!

RANDOM FACT: Did you know American’s spend more than $3 billion dollars on gift wrap each year. About 4 million pounds of wrapping paper is thrown away each year because most of it can’t be recycled.

I like to share random facts with my kids while we are crafting & thought I would share with all of you as well!

Here is everything you’ll need:

1. Roll of brown or white craft paper
2. Washable paint
3. Paint brushes

Directions:

1. Roll out your craft paper on a table or the floor. You can tape down the edges if you have younger kids, this will keep it from slipping all over the place.
2. Give you kids paint & paint brushes and let them go to town!

3. Allow everything to dry.

4. Have fun wrapping up gifts with their special creation.
