Roberta here with a fantastic (and easy) craft – homemade wrapping paper, perfect for making a friend’s gift extra-special.
Here’s what you need:
Two large pieces of newsprint or white scrapbooking paper, acrylic paint in different colors, paintbrush, water (for rinsing the paintbrush)
What you do:
- Dab dots of paint all over the paper. Use lots of different colors!
- Press the second sheet of paper over top of the dots and smooth it down with your hands.
- Pull the pieces of paper apart –you’ll have splats of paint on both of them. Let the paint try.
- When the paint is dry, wrap the gift with the paper.
Seems like alot of wasted effort to me when you can just go to the store to get some wrapping paper when they won’t even know the difference!!!
This is so cool! The only problem is, it would take a really long time to cover the paper with polka dots of various sizes like those. All that work done just to have it ripped off a present. Other than that, it’s a good money (but maybe not time) saver! :)
Very cute! Who doesn’t love polka dots! :-) The only problem is there mot not be enough paper to wrap a larger gift, but this is perfect for little things!
I LOVE polka dots!!!!!
Nice. Nice. (nod, nod) But it’s way too colorful for me!

I like this! It’s cute! If it didn’t have Polka Dots, it wouldn’t look all that great, or cute. I’ve done something like this before when I was six or nine years old.
Yeah, I did the same when I was nine years old. I did pink and blue Ploka Dots on plain white paper and it looked so cool! My brother did a Polka Dot Project with thousands of different colors. It looked so much better than mine, because it was so colorful with other Polka Dots. -Alexandria

That sounds awesome! I did something like what you done. I used evry neon color you could think of, and I used them to make my Polka Dots on my black paper. I done it since I was 12. ~Chicago Made
