Homemade Gift Wrap

Creative artist and designer Ellen McHale shared some innovative gift wrap ideas using the Wagner Home Decor Sprayer. Armed with flat finish red parcel wrap, stencils and her sprayer loaded with paint she shows how easy it is to create personalized gift wrap that recipients will be reluctant to open. The design possibilities are endless!

Ellen suggests a day of making wrapping paper and inviting your friends to help. Experiment with colors and patterns and use designs to wrap gifts, make paper ornaments or wrap books and journals.

Work on a flat surface or make use of a wall. Hold stencils down with blue tape and move left to right spraying the paper with a low and slow technique. Let dry and remove stencil. Wrap and embellish with greens and twine.

Make your own patterns and mix and match holiday motifs.
