I am a big fan of kraft paper, always have been.  I’m all for the simple kraft look with twine & paired with a little green.  But why not spruce up your paper with a hand painted design?  It doesn’t need to be perfect and you definitely don’t need to be an artist.  In fact, I kind of like the  inconsistency….it gives it more character ;)  I decided to mix it up this year with a few different designs.

All you need is the kraft paper, a fine brush (or whatever size you prefer for your design), black paint, and a little water for mixing.  This isn’t just reserved for the holidays….you could create any design to fit your occasion!  I am sure most of you are done with your wrapping….but if you’re not, don’t forget you can download my holiday tags here! xx
