Step-by-Step: Make Your Own Mushroom Wrapping Paper
Roll it Out 🎨
Find a flat, clean surface where you can roll out your brown craft paper. Make sure it’s somewhere it can sit and dry without being disturbed.
Start with the Mushroom Stems 🍄
Dip your thumb into the white paint and press it vertically onto the paper to form the mushroom stem. Continue stamping as much or as little as you want, spacing the stems to your liking.
Add the Mushroom Caps ❤️
Next, dip your thumb into the red paint and stamp horizontally just above each white stem so the prints touch. You’ll start to see those adorable mushrooms come to life!
Dot the Details 🖌️
Once the red caps have dried, grab a small paintbrush, dip the end into white paint, and carefully add dots to the mushroom caps. This little detail makes the design pop!
Let it Dry & Wrap Away 🎁
Allow your masterpiece to dry fully before wrapping your gifts. For an extra touch of charm, finish your presents with a ribbon or a bow.
