It occurred to me that not everyone needs a Valentine idea for this year, and just so you know I’m thinking of you, I have come up with three solutions: 1) boys, who needs them? 2) you can use this wrapping paper tutorial for revenge mail if needed, just leave out the o’s, use some black paint, and don’t be so careful with the x’s. 3) win a giant gift basket from DecoArt.
Materials:
- DecoArt paints
- brushes
- white card stock/computer paper
This might be the simplest wrapping paper you’ll ever make: All you have to do is paint x’s and o’s all over the computer paper! Once it’s dry, wrap your box like usual and tie it with twine. If you need to wrap something a bit bigger, you can buy sheets of drawing paper at the craft store to use.
To win the DecoArt giveaway, just leave a comment below! If you’d like additional entries, “Like” DecoArt and Sugar & Cloth on Facebook and leave separate comments telling me you did so. The giveaway ends February 13th, and a winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day. Open to U.S readers only.
great DIY!
Well, the last thing I need is MORE craft supplies, but I’d love to win this basket anyway!!

Brilliant!
This is great! I don’t know why I always forget to make my own wrapping paper like this, but whenever I come across the idea, I think it’s great, and instantly kick myself for not remembering to utilize it!
Oops, I typed my website in wrong. Silly me.

This is the cuttest idea! It is so simple that it doesn’t take away from the gift inside!
Nothing better than pink and red goodies!

Your wrapping paper is adorable! You could also use the idea for journaling pages or for cute greeting cards.
This is a great DIY to make a gift more reflective of you, as well as an amazing way to turn plain white paper into something amazing!
