You Will Need (6 things)

  • Yellow Acrylic Paint
  • Circular Foam Brush
  • Fine Point Marker
  • Plain Gift Wrap (cards, kraft paper, gift tags, gift bags)
  • Paper Towel
  • Burlap Gift Bag (optional)

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Decide if you'd like to create a cluster of flowers or flowers sprouting from the bottom of the card/bag. Use a small round foam brush or spouncer dipped in yellow paint to create flower dots. If you'd like more textured flowers, use two coats of paint.

  2. 2

    Use a paper towel to catch extra paint. This allows you to paint to the edge of the gift wrap to create more realistic flowers.

  3. 3

    Allow the paint to dry. Then draw in the stems with a fine tipped marker.

  4. 4

    If you're painting a burlap gift bag, put a piece of cardstock between the two sides so the paint won't bleed through to the other side.
