Little Handprints(Ages 3-8)
There’s nothing cuter than little hands and feet! And my kids love to make handprints. Just brush on washable paint with a foam brush and help your child press their hand on the paper. We’ll be using this personalized gift wrap for all the gifts to the grandparents.
This wrapping paper is easy and – most importantly – good for the planet. Just take vintage paper and layer on glitter and ribbons. Clockwise from top left they used: Vintage wallpaper; Chinese newspaper topped with colored paper; a recycled map (these are extra unique!); grocery bag with Japanese beads.

Below, I put together a list of 5 awesome DIY wrapping paper ideas, many from the KiwiCo community. Enjoy!
