DIY wrapping paper is a fun and easy way to get the kids involved this Father’s Day too. Just follow the steps below or watch the clip to see how it’s done!
What you need:

- Stanley knife
- A large sponge
- Plain wrapping paper (colour of your choice)
- Paint (colour of your choice)
- Marker
- Scrap paper/newspaper
- Buttons
- Twine or ribbon (optional)
What to do:
- With the marker, draw a t-shirt outline on the sponge.
- Using the Stanley knife, carefully cut the t-shirt outline on the sponge. Set aside.
- Squeeze out your paint on scrap paper or newspaper. Dab the sponge in the paint till the surface is completely covered.
- Roll out the plain wrapping paper and begin to stamp the sponge randomly, forming a pattern that fills the surface. Dab the sponge into the paint as needed. Set aside for half an hour or until completely dry.
- Once your wrapping paper is dry, wrap Dad’s present.
