Well.. I did say we had hit Birthday Party season here at Red Ted HQ. And since our last Birthday Party (5 days ago). when I needed some emergency DIY Wrapping Paper, we still haven’t had the chance to get some more wrapping paper, and the next party is TOMORROW. Yikes. Our Car Print Potato was a bit shrivelled (I was hoping to reuse it, thrifty me), so I threw it away.. got the ink pad out and we did some simple printing – ink pad straight to paper.
Job done.
I could only find one ink stamp that work really nicely! The yellow one was a bit smudged, the silver one was only have covered in ink and the blue was finished… so purple it was. I like it in purple, but think lots of colours or two colours would look great too!
Easy DIY Wrapping Paper done!
Looks pretty!
Thanks Isil, I am going to try and “hunt down” more of my ink stamps and do it in different colours next time. We have many more birthdays coming, so will have lots of opportunity I think!
Nice work! I am seeing a green ink stamp forming a Christmas tree shape..thanks for the inspiration. Fast craft is so often the only type that kids *think* they want to do.
Would look lovely with a Christmas tree stamp! 🙂 or cut Christmas tree from a potato!
even I can do this! Yay!
What a special way to decorate a present!
Awe thanks 🙂
oooh lovely. I never have gift wrap when I need it. x
I really love the simplicity of this one!
Thanks for linking up to Britmums carnival. I love this idea, it’s something that bit different and a bit special too. I’m rubbish at crafts but I think I could manage this one!
Brilliant – simple and pretty, I like it!
Thank you 🙂
