{create} rainbow gift wrap

 tutorial and photography by Helen Louise Wilkinson | Blossom & Cat 

you will need...

+ butchers paper
+ sponge brushes
+ watercolour paint

+ water

 

 

 

 

 

1. Lay out a sheet of butchers paper on a clean flat surface. Using a wide sponge brush gently wet the paper with clean water. The paper should be wet but not saturated. The wetter the paper the more your colours will run into each other.

2. Use a narrow sponge or large soft paint brush to paint stripes or patterns onto the paper. The colours are so lovely as they blend into each other.

3. Allow to dry.

Use the handmade Rainbow Paper to wrap up your gift, finish with some coloured raffia and fancy tape.

 

Tadaa!
