DIY Wrapping Paper

When it comes to giving gifts to our family members I love it when we can add a personal touch. One day my husband came home with a roll of craft paper that his aunt was going to throw out.  I instantly knew that the paper had found a much better home than the dumpster (the package had not even been opened). I had originally planned on rolling the paper out on the driveway and letting the kids go at it with paint. But what do you do when it looks like this outside?

Paint inside of course!

We ended up rolling the paper out on the floor and squirting finger paints onto the paper. Alivia used paint brushes, sponges, fingers, and at times her feet to decorate.

This was actually easy to clean up as long as Alivia stayed on the paper and kitchen floor.

And once the paper had dried we had some very colorful wrapping paper.

Below is a snapshot of the label from the craft paper. As you can see we have a 50 sq ft roll so we have plenty of gift wrap opportunities ahead!
