For personalis­ed gifts your loved ones will cherish, make your own stylish wrapping paper this festive season

-

Instructio­ns

1 Lay out your paper on a covered surface, in case the paint seeps through. If you’re using rolled paper, weigh down the corners to prevent curling. Use a clean palette to ensure the paint stays one colour.

2 Use the sponge roller to apply an even coat of paint to the base of your papier mâché box. Clean off any drips with a piece of rag or clean cloth.

3 Stamp onto your paper using a firm and steady hand, trying not to wiggle the box. You will need to re-apply paint between each stamp.

4 Once dry, wrap it! We also added a layer of sparkly tulle and fun metallic ribbon to our gift.
