How to Make Decorative Paper

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Janet Casto, your Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up, and if you're like me, sometimes you're in a rush to wrap a present and you don't have any decorative paper. Well, I'm going to show you a quick and easy way to make some. I have here some scrap white paper, and I'm going to use my wheel, and the color I'm using today is this old olive. And I'm just going to snap this in my handle, snap my wheel in, and I'm just going to prime it a little bit; there we go, and then all I'm going to do is wheel from one end to the other on this paper, this beautiful white paper, and I am going to have decorative paper that is going to match the card, of course, that I'm making, and I'll be able to wrap this present and save some time. So once you've wheeled all of your paper, and you really don't need to use a ruler or anything; you can just eyeball it. And there you have some beautiful decorative paper. You could also use this paper in card making, or your scrapbook pages, but I'm going to use it to wrap a present. And of course, what am I going to give for a present? I have stamp set to give someone, so I'm going to wrap up my paper. Just give that a little fold, and then what I would do is just tie it with a matching ribbon, and I would have a beautiful gift to give someone with my handmade decorative wrapping paper. Janet Casto, with Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up. I hope you'll give this thing a try. It will really save you time and money, and you'll have beautifully wrapped presents."
