For my first virtual program for December, I filmed a "Make Your Own Wrapping Paper" program. It was for all ages and I showed three stamping techniques.
These techniques were relatively easy and I chose these to have a very easy design and two other somewhat harder designs. I actually had two more other designs to show, but I thought the video was going to be too long. I can always save those for next time.
I started with using plain, white wrapping paper or brown craft paper depending on what would make the colors pop on the paper.
For our first design, I showed how to make a string light design using red and green paint, a black marker, and finger prints or the cap of a glue stick to make the light bulbs. This is the most simple and still so very cute!
Our second design was making a gingerbread scene using cookie cutters, brown paint, and adding some holiday stamp designs to it. I also used some laser tape I found at the dollar store since it looks like ribbon, but is so easy to put on.
Our last design was a beautiful snowman design using the bottom of a glass or cup, white paint, and using markers to draw on our dried snowmen. I will say I liked this design the best because the circles turn out so clean and perfect and it's so adorable.
Using finger prints, glue caps, cookie cutters, pre-made stamps, and the bottom of cups are some ways to create designs for wrapping paper.
Of course there are a number of ways to add designs on your paper from making your own stampers out of potatoes or cardboard to just simply coloring on some blank wrapping paper.
There's also really simple kid-friendly ways like the ones mentioned above to very elaborate skilled ways.
