Lacy Gift Wrap

Why

Wrap your gifts in recycled paper decorated with a lacy look using Crayola® Gel Markers.


Steps

1. Cut a paper grocery sack along the seams with Crayola Scissors. Open the bag flat. You could also use dark construction paper for a dramatic look.

2. Use Crayola Gel Markers to make beautiful lacy designs. Why not make a matching gift tag, too? Air-dry your gift wrap.

3. Wrap your gift. It will say "open me first" at any party!
