I’ve been on a roll with ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape (no pun intended)!  Recently I shared my Stenciled Table Runner and an Aztec Stenciled Step Stool that was a perfect addition to my work room.  I’m super excited about todays project.  DIY Wrapping Paper.  I love kraft paper.  I think it’s just so incredibly versatile.  One Christmas I wrapped all my gifts in kraft paper, adding the pop of color with embellishments! You can see that here: get your {kraft} on.  How about customizing that kraft paper by stenciling it?  Yes, please!

Supplies:
Roll of Kraft Paper
Scissors
Acrylic Paint (colors of choice)
Cosmetic Sponges
ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape

Keep in mind that this is a project you can wing… DIY wrapping paper means just that.  So, have fun creating stripes, patterns, squares, letters or whatever your heart desires using the painter’s tape.  There may be some imperfections, but that’s a-okay!  Are you ready to get started?  Let’s do it!

Getting Started with ScotchBlue Painter's Tape projectAs you may or may not have already figured out — the secret weapon in our project is ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape.  So, once you have your piece of kraft paper cut (based on the size of your gift box), it’s time to do some creating!

DIY Wrapping Paper using ScotchBlue painters tape with livelaughrowe.com

Step One:  Design 

Decide on what design  — or you can simply wing it.  I’m a wing it kinda girl.  I rarely measure, but I think the imperfections give it a little extra homemade TLC.  I decided to keep this one rather simple with just a few stripes.

Step Two and Three:  Painting

Decide on your colors.  For this one, with Christmas just around the corner {shhh.  you didn’t hear that from me}, I thought I would go with some red and green.

Paint the entire design using the cosmetic sponges.  I attempted using a sponge brush, but it didn’t apply the paint as nicely as the cosmetic sponges did.

Step Four:  Tape Removal

Carefully remove the ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape.  I used a thinner kraft paper (purchased at the dollar store), so I had to slowly remove the tap to ensure it didn’t rip.  The paper got a little fuzzy, but it’s nothing noticeable — again, I think it added a little character.

You’re done!  Now to wrap the package.

ScotchBlue Painter's Tape Project.  DIY Wrapping Paper with livelaughrowe.comI love the natural, rustic feel that this paper has!  I finished it off with some twine and one of my printable Christmas gift tags.  Friends, I didn’t stop there… here’s couple more packages I whipped up.

Here I used my love for the tribal, aztec design and painted it right onto a kraft box I picked up at Micheal’s.

    This is a wonderful idea! Love unique wrapping ideas. I believe the presentation of the gift is just as important as taking the time to choose the right gift and a WOW presentation can make even an inexpensive gift seem FAB!

    I found out that my dollar store carries kraft paper… so, I may just forgo all other wrapping paper for a while. Kraft paper is my favorite anyway. I am thinking white paint, its my favorite combo with kraft paper.

    Wow, you got a lot of comments!!! All I’ll say is, I like the color palette you decided to use. The blue especially looks awesome on the brown. Also, that particular olivey shade of green with the bright red.

    Very current. 🙂
