How to Use Children’s Paintings?

“I bought 3 rolls of brown paper from RIOT the other day. They were on sale: $1.99 for 5 metres roll. What a great bargain! I have been planning on doing this project for sometimes now but I never had the chance to do it.

Stella loves painting; we have a huge pile of her painting. So the idea is, for her to paint her heart content on the brown paper roll and I will use the painted roll for wrapping paper.

It was so much fun. We used different technique. We started with sponging, then stencling, then free painting. She spent 2 hours and used half of the 5 metre roll. I love it, Stella got to paint and I got a one of a kind wrapping paper.

And the best thing about this is, if you really like the painting you can just cut the paper and keep the painting. If not, they still make great wrapping paper. What do you think? I think they look really cool.

What you need:

• Brown paper roll
• Paints
• Stencil
• Sponge
• Paint brushes

If you don’t have any stecil or sponge you can try the following:

• Finger painting
• Hand and foot print
• Leaf print
• Fruit print

and I will definitely get some glitter paint next time, I think it will be fabulous!”
