Painting wrapping paper

[tyler's mum]

I have a roll of brown butcher's paper. Tyler uses to paint and draw on. My mum come up with a good idea. She said i should start getting tyler. To paint bigger bits to use as wrapping paper.

Today we spend a hour and half painting. We done a lot of different size's. We ended up with about 9 sheets.

So not only is tyler having fun painting. I will save on wrapping paper. Also when its some ones b'day or xmas (not tyler's ones)The gift will be extra special. Cause tyler painted the paper

that is a great idea, i used to do that when i was young, it does make the present extra special.

Awesome idea Tam and makes the present so much more personalised!

I'll add that if you find the paint rubs off on things, an over-wrapping of uncoloured cellophane looks great over the top, and takes the sticky tape better, too.

Sometimes the paint can tend to lift off with the sticky tape.

Great idea! maybe i need to do this with the mountain of butchers paper that i have!!
