Instructions

Step 1:  Roll out your brown paper on a table or flat surface and stamp out some round dots using your round sponge brush. We used Resene Milk Chocolate, Resene Half Canterbury Clay, and Resene Double Spanish White.

Step 2:  Once the dots are dry use a fine paint brush paint to do the eyes, nose and hair. Be as creative as you want with this!

Step 3:  Use the paper to wrap presents or use as a table runner. You can even make some greeting cards and present tags. Happy holidays!

Face napkins

Personalise plain white napkins by using the same painting process as above, to match the table runner.

Greeting cards and gift tags

To go with the wrapping paper you can make your own gift tags and cards using white cardboard. We used the round sponge brush and drew a face on them and wrote a personalised message.
