Hanukkah Gift-Wrap Paper
By Rose Klein
Your loved ones will like your gift even more when it's wrapped in gift-wrap you've made yourself.
What you need:
- newspaper
- jar lid
- scissors
- clean cellulose sponge
- glue
- poster paint
- bowl
- paper or grocery bag
How to make it:
- Cover the work surface with newspaper.
- Wash and dry a jar lid.
- Cut out a triangle shape from a clean cellulose sponge. Make the triangle smaller than the lid. Glue the triangle to the top of the lid. Let dry.
- Put a small amount of poster paint in a bowl. Dampen the sponge triangle with water, then dip it into the bowl and wipe off the excess paint on the side of the bowl. Stamp the triangle in different places on paper or on the unprinted side of an opened-out grocery bag. Let the paint dry.
- Dip the triangle in the same color paint or in a new color, and stamp an upside-down triangle over each of the others, making them into Stars of David.
- Let the paint dry. Then use the paper to wrap Hanukkah presents.
