Inspiration struck at Lowes. You read correctly: Lowes. A few times a year, Lowes publishes a magazine of seasonal project ideas. This year, their holiday edition featured hand-painted wrapping paper that I fell in love with! Of course, they used materials from the store while I raided my local craft center – but the end result was the same.
For supplies, I used basic brown craft paper, acrylic paint (in red, green, white, and black), and sponge brushes. I used circular-shaped brushes for the smaller dots and hand-drew the circles using standard brushes for the larger dots. The free-handed circles aren’t perfect, nor are they all the same size – but I like the hand-made feel.
To keep the rustic-looking motif, I used regular twine in lieu of ribbon. I must admit, the really cleverly wrapped gifts in the photographs were the creations of my husband. The man is a gift-wrapping artist!
