wrapping part 2...

Printed home made wrapping is always fun to make. We have had lots of fun over the years doing potato printing with our kids and we have found this is a slightly less messy and more grown up version. We often use brown paper for wrapping as it always looks so stylish with just some grosgrain ribbon or some twine or string, but here we have dressed it up a bit using the rubber eraser on the end of a pencil and a white stamp pad  (white paint would do just as well).  

After some experimentation we discovered that the trick is to wrap your present first and then stamp the paper - it saves heaps of time and you are not printing bits of paper that you just end cutting off!

Simple spots with a matching tag...

Sometimes less is more...

It is also quite fun to create pictures and patterns. You are limited only by your imagination and, of course, the amount of time you want to spend.

This type of wrapping is absolutely addictive. We would love to try a large piece of spotty artwork one day.
