Hand Printed Gift Wrap

Top Tip

For successful printing, keep your workspace organised with a large table, accessible colours and rollers, drying space for paper, and wipes for spills, while remembering your design will print in reverse and to mix enough ink for consistent colour.

How to Make

  1. Set up your work station with all of your inks, paper and stamps to hand. Have a place ready to hang or place wet printed paper.
  2. Gently masking tape your paper to print down onto the table to avoid slipping while printing.
  3. Masking tape a sheet of plastic film to the table to mix and roll your inks on. Roll the colour backwards and forwards until the colour is mixed thoroughly.
  4. Press your stamp down firmly in place. Roll over the top with a dry roller. Remove carefully, re-ink and repeat in your desired pattern / print.
  5. Gently wipe the stamps over with a wet wipe if you can see a build up of colour, if your print becomes less crisp, or if you'd like to change colours.
  6. Allow to dry thoroughly between colours if you are layering designs up and once your sheets are complete.
  7. Wrap up gifts in your beautiful printed paper, finishing with natural twine bows.
