Brown Paper Bag

For just pennies you can make your own wrapping paper! It is so cute that people will not want to tear it or throw it away!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Heat your iron. Cut down the seam of the bag on one side and cut out the bottom of the bag. Put the bottoms of the bag aside for later.
Step 2

Once you have your bags cut. Lay one of the bags flat on the ironing board and cover it with a bath towel. Steam the paper flat and leave it to dry for a few hours.
Step 3

Once you paper is dry and flat you are ready to decorate.
Step 4

Paint on a Plate

Get your sponges and paper plate and put the paint on the paper plate.
Step 5

Paint Sponges

Dab the sponge until well loaded and then take the remaining bag bottoms and stamp access paint. Stamp your now perfectly loaded sponge on your fresh paper. Repeat this until you have the desired coverage.
Allow the paint to fully dry. - Approx. 30 minutes.
Step 6

Glitter Pen and Feathers

Now that you have stamped the paper you can take your sharpie and embellish. Glitter pens are very cool as well to make the stamps pop. Glue on Buttons, Feathers whatever you like.
Step 7

Jump Rope

Now you are ready to use your paper to wrap. This is a very fun project that will save loads on gift wrap. I have used all kinds of things rather than ribbon to tie the gift with. Colored shoe laces, raffia, gimp, yarn, artificial flower, a jump rope. Anything that goes with your theme. Use your imagination and have fun!
