wrapping paper - family project
Here's the start—although I like it as is. I used a black marker and drew this on a large piece of butcher paper that has been around for a long time. I'm going to stretch it on the kitchen table and enjoy some coloring time with the kids. I want them to fill in some random leaves with a crayon. I hope I can convince them that there's no need to color every single leaf. Less is more.

ReplyDeleteGREAT idea — homemade wrapping paper from the heart. Looking forward to seeing what the kids add too :)
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeletehow fun! what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet encouraging note! It meant so much to me! I also LOVE this idea! I've been making my own wrapping paper since we got to Morocco because wrapping paper isn't available here, but I never thought to let my kids to it. Duh! LOL! They would love doing something like this... now if I could just learn how to draw like you... :-)
ReplyDeleteless is definitely more! love this.
ReplyDeleteI love this too as it is. Just a beautiful pattern. But I'd love to see what your kids do...I'd like to see them not make them all green!
ReplyDeleteOooh this is a great pattern. Are you going to post up the post-kids pattern?
ReplyDeleteI read the post without reading the headline, and thought you were making it into a tablecloth for your kitchen (because you stretched on the kitchen table). I think it could also be a beautiful tablecloth, but I don't know how you would could turn it into one. maybe print fabric, or cover in plastic or something. In any case, i love the pattern!
