Christmas

Tis’ the season to get crafty with our Christmas craft ideas. We will get you in the Christmas spirit with hundreds of activities to choose from.

Printed Christmas Paper

Give your gift giving a personal touch this year with your very own hand printed wrapping paper!
  • Step 1Start by sketching some Christmas related designs onto a piece of newsprint. We have decided to print baubles!
  • Step 2Once you are happy with your design, transfer them onto a soft printing sheet. Lightly draw the design on first and then press into the sheet to make a nice clean indent.
  • Step 3Carefully cut out your printing shapes. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 4Use a foam roller to cover one side of your printing shape in paint, making sure it’s not too thick. You don’t want it to fill the indents but rather sit on top of the design. Press the side with paint firmly onto a clean sheet of newsprint and then lift to reveal your design. Continue printing until your newsprint is covered. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Once your printed sheet is dry, use a permanent pen to add detail to your design! We have even added a pattern in the background. Continue adding details to the paper until you are happy with your design. Your paper is now ready to wrap a gift for someone special!
