Make your Christmas wrapping paper

You will need

  • Plain wrapping paper
  • Red and green paint
  • Cover

Create your wrapping paper guide

Step One

Spread out the wrapping paper. Depending on the thickness of the paper you may need to put a cover underneath so the paint doesn’t bleed through.

Step Two

Prepare the green and red paint on a disposable tray. Draw in a tree in the shape of a green triangle using your finger. Put your finger in the green paint then paint dab four fingerprints in one row, then three in the second row, the two in the third row and one in the last and final row. 

Step Three

Place your thumb in the red paint, then make a single print below the tree to make the base. And just like that, you have a mini Christmas tree. 

Step four

Repeat the process to fill in paper with more trees. Make sure the paint is dry before wrapping your presents.
