The easiest way to turn ordinary stationary and gift wrap into bright, cheery gifts. Just a few blots of yellow paint with a spouncer. Draw in the stems and done!

Instructions

  1. Small 102399 2f2014 06 21 172321 diy%2byellow%2bbilly%2bballs%2b4

    Decide if you'd like to create a cluster of flowers or flowers sprouting from the bottom of the card/bag. Use a small round foam brush or spouncer dipped in yellow paint to create flower dots. If you'd like more textured flowers, use two coats of paint.

  2. Small 102399 2f2014 06 21 172259 diy%2byellow%2bbilly%2bballs%2b3

    Use a paper towel to catch extra paint. This allows you to paint to the edge of the gift wrap to create more realistic flowers.

  3. Small 102399 2f2014 06 21 172224 diy%2byellow%2bbilly%2bballs%2b10

    Allow the paint to dry. Then draw in the stems with a fine tipped marker.

    If you're painting a burlap gift bag, put a piece of cardstock between the two sides so the paint won't bleed through to the other side.
