make textured paper using household items!
We recently ransacked mom’s storage supplies (she wasn’t too thrilled about this DIY initially), & found 4 household items, which can be used to make creative wrapping paper: bubble wrap, plastic sheets, aluminum foils & butter/tracing paper. Each when used, leaves a unique pattern on the wrapping sheet. Which in turn, leads to so many possibilities with colors, designs and gifting!
