Alright Martha Stewart lovers…here’s a great way to add a special something to your Christmas wrappings. I made this wrapping paper last year and it was an instant favorite.
Materials Needed:
-Martha Stewart wood grainer tool (available in the paint dept @ home depot)
-Latex house paint or tempera paint
-Large brush/water cup
(Optional: Martha Stewart glazes…)
Step One: Paint a large section with color. It can be a little watered down or a little thick and goopy.
Use wood grainer tool to drag through the paint, slightly rocking the tool as you pull downward.
Work quickly so the paint doesn’t dry, painting chunks at a time.
Repeat process until paper is filled. This year I experimented with some different colors in tempera and latex enamel paints.
The brown paper above to the right, is with the martha stewart glaze…vintage gold and it looks amazing and sparkly.
On this last example, I just squirted paint directly onto the paper, spread it out with the brush and then used the wood grainer.
