DIY Christmas paper

Christmas is around the corner and most of us are wrapping or going to be wrapping prezzies soon. Buying and storing tons of wrapping paper every year can be a hassle and costly expense. Plus, once all your gifts are ready to give, they all look exactly the same when your wrapping paper is cut from the same tube.

So why not create your own DIY wrapping paper! Not only can you keep the kids busy for a while , you'll cut costs and you'll personalize your gift.

So here's how to do it :

You'll needed:

         * A1 paper white or colour
         * potato's
         * Christmas cookie cutters
         * Different colour paints

As I have a toddler I made edible paint (click here for recipe).
                               
                                                     To make the potato stamps

1.    Cut potato in half
2.    Take the half of potato , push the cookie cutter into the potato

3.    Take a knife and cut around the cutter and pull the boarder around the cutter away







HOW TO MAKE WRAPPING PAPER

* Layout the A1 paper , paint in bowls and your potato stamps
* Dip your stamp into the paint and onto the paper
* Let the kids go wild

Then all you'll need is to allow it to dry and then wrap what you want.





  Happy wrapping !!
