Crafty Wrapping Paper
















Having a son has made me realise that there isn't much out there for boys, unless you buy products that has the token Pokemon, Spiderman or Ben 10 symbol on it. So I decided to try out on designing a simple army design for wrapping paper.


I have incorporated my husbands CGI skills and placed one of his CG helicopter models into the pattern. Presto my first prototype wrapping paper was born.

That afternoon my son had a 9 year old birthday party to go to, so I thought we try it out. The mother of the birthday boy thought I had purchased the wrapping paper, so of course I was happy.

















Designing my first piece of wrapping paper has just opened up another area to express my crafty thoughts.

  2. I hadn't though of printing wrapping paper! What size is your printer?

  3. I love wrapping paper, so many great designs and images around.
    My printer only takes A4 paper. Thus the wrapping paper you see in the photo is 8 sheets of A4 stuck together.
