Decorative Wrapping Paper

I hope you're doing this along with us!  We're having a great time with our crafts.  There are so many different crafts out there, makes it difficult to choose each day.

Today we got out our Christmas stampers and decided to decorate some plain white tissue paper.  Who wants to see plain, white, boring tissue paper on their gifts?  With a little ink, we can make the gift look fancy!

What do you need?  White tissue paper, Christmas stamps, ink pad (red, green, silver, gold)

Let's get started!  Choose your stamp and ink color, and....stamp away!  We had quite a few to choose from, so we took our time and used every single stamp!  A little side note:  If you keep a wet paper towl near you, you can quickly clean off the stamper by stamping it onto the cloth, this way you can use the stamper in another ink color.  Makes the stamping process alot easier and doesn't mess up your inkpads.

decisions, decisions
Another suggestion, put down two pieces of tissue paper.  Otherwise, if you stamp too hard, it will go right through, onto your work table (we found that out the hard way)
Looks so much better!  See what a little creativity with stamps can do?

I think Bella enjoyed this one.  I think she was worn out trying to figure out which stamp to use next and which ink color would look good.   I'll have to get her to make more so I can wrap some gifts!

*this wrapping paper can be made for any occaision
