How to Make Christmas Wrapping Paper

Instructions

  Lay out paper
  
  The first thing that you will want to do is lay out the sheets of paper on a large flat surface like the dining table or the kitchen floor. You can also roll out large sections of butcher paper roll for each of your kids to work with. Use the scissors to measure out large pieces of paper. Keep in mind the various sizes of your gifts that need to be wrapped and try to make your Christmas wrapping paper accordingly.

  Make designs
  
  Using the stickers and markers you can easily make various designs and patterns on the paper. Allow your kids to make whatever they want. You can also attach different pieces of coloured construction paper using glitter glue for a nice Christmas feel. It is a good idea that you show your kids how to write different Christmas messages like “Merry Christmas” or “Seasons Greetings” on the wrapping paper. These phrases can be done using the crayons as well.
