Print Project

Step 1

Dry brush paint over the wrapping paper and let dry.
TIP: To do this unroll a large piece and tape the ends to a table so it won’t roll. Place some paint onto a paper plate (or palette paper) and use a dry chip brush to paint quick stripes across the paper both directions.

Step 2

Fill a box with paper shred and set a watercolor pad and watercolor markers on top. Cover the box.

Step 3

Wrap the box with the painted wrapping paper.

Step 4

Wrap yarn around the box multiple times, add a tag and tie a bow.

Step 5

Wrap yarn around a few loose markers to make a bundle. Tie the bundle to the top of the gift.

Step 6
Finish the gift by adding a mini tassel embellishment.
TIP: To make a tassel, wrap yarn around your hand 12 times. Slide it off your hand. Cut about 10" of yarn and slide it through the center of the loops; then tie a knot at the top. Wrap another piece of yarn around the outside of the loops, about ½" from the top knot. Tie the yarn in the back. Cut open the loops at the bottom to make the tassel. Trim the ends so they are even across the bottom of your tassel.
