...or, how to get round lack a wrapping paper for grandchildren's birthday presents in lockdown!
There was more than a sense of panic a couple of days ago when I realised that two important (5 and 10) birthdays were coming up and although I had bought the presents, I did not have enough of the right size or gender or age appropriate wrapping paper.
So I got creative, rootled about in an old box of stuff I don't really use anymore, found some bright paints (not hard for me) and commandeered the HUGE roll of brown parcel paper, left over from my days as gallery owner!
I unrolled the length I thought I would need and started to randomly stamp shapes down - some of which had come free with magazines, some I had cut or designed myself years ago! (Always knew they'd come in useful one day)!
Added in a couple of lengths of Baker's twine and garden string, a blob of sealing wax - and there you go! Totally recyclable, gender neutral, guilt free wrapping paper !
I'll take commissions if you're interested! Give me a call
