DIY Holiday Wrapping Paper

 

Coloring and DIY gifting is in, why not make your own wrapping paper? 

Personalized touches are my favorite things about giving gifts, each year as I get older I try to make my gifting more unique. Creating your own wrapping paper is the perfect way to personalize someone’s present. I took the afternoon off and made my own gift wrap, although my figures and art skills are subpar, it was so relaxing!

First I headed on over to my favorite craft supply store, Michaels and picked up some “adult” markers. Prismacolor Premier Markers offer a sharp point for getting details done and come in a variety of colors. Make sure to check out Michaels coupons for additional savings, in newspapers and online!

I happened to have a roll of heavy paper at home so all I need additionally was tape and scissors to bring my doodling ideas to life. Adult coloring books are so popular right now and I can see why. Coloring allows you to turn those busy parts of your brain off and focus on creating.

I made candy cane horses, or red zebras, as my husband likes to call them. I also did cute cacti instead of Christmas trees. Coloring isn’t just for kids anymore! I also added a little ribbon, some ridding boots, and my own gift tags.

This DIY is so simple instructions aren’t really necessary, but here a a few simple tips:

Don’t be afraid to get creative and color outside the lines, your gift wrap doesn’t have to be perfect!

It’s okay to use a ruler or something to trace, I definitely did.

Draw your shapes and/or design on the rolled paper before wrapping the gift.

Have fun making your own holiday wrapping paper!
