Make your own hand-painted gift wrap

You will need

Instructions

Step 1 Step 1
Use a paintbrush to paint Resene White on to a willing hand and make handprints on to a sheet of brown wrapping paper.


Step 2 Step 2
Flip the paper around so that the hand prints are facing down. Once the paint has dried, use a small paintbrush to paint on a hat shape on top of each hand print with Resene Poppy. Add a ‘pompom’ on the end of the hat with more Resene White.


Step 3 Step 3
Use a very thin paintbrush and some Resene Black to add on a fluffy trim to the hat, eyes, glasses and a mouth.


Step 4 Step 4
Finish by adding on a rosy nose with Resene Drop Dead Gorgeous and use your index finger to smudge on some cheeks with Resene Awaken.


Step 5 Step 5
Cut if needed and wrap your gifts ready to put under the tree or hand over on Christmas Day. Wall painted in Resene Dark Knight.

Top tip:  Experiment with thumb print designs and Christmas inspired shapes. You can paint these in traditional colours with Resene testpots or combine the gift recipients favourite colours.
