Why

Dress up an ordinary gift bag with air-brushed art made with your Crayola Color Wonder™ Sprayer. Your gift is in the bag!

Steps

  1. 1. A standard, handled 8 x 10 inch (20 x 25 cm) paper party bag fits Crayola Color Wonder™ paper. Use your Crayola Scissors to cut the paper to fit smaller bags. Add a decorative edge!
  2. 2. Follow the directions on the package to decorate Color Wonder paper with your Crayola Color Wonder Sprayer. Choose stencils, designs, and colors to fit the gift, occasion, and recipient.
  3. 3. Use Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints and Markers to enhance your sprayer art. Add details, the recipient’s name, words, and other embellishments.
  4. 4. Fold the paper in half. Cut a slit along the middle of the fold to fit over the gift bag handles (leave paper uncut at the ends) Put your gift in the bag. Place the topper over the bag handles. Add ribbon for a festive finishing touch.

Safety Guidelines

Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
