When I ran out of wrapping paper for my Grandad's present I thought I would use some old paper I had lying around...but then I wanted to jazz it up a little...the effect? Very pretty and 'expensive' looking wrapping paper!

Instructions

1. Take some left over coloured paper, I used some old craft paper but tissue paper or coloured card (as long as it's thin enough for wrapping paper). Using a sponge brush or any old sponge and your imagination create a pattern of your choice using the bleach (not too much). I actually didn't use a sponge I just carefully splashed it on.

2. Leave to dry...

3. 

   And that's it! Wrap your present! I cut out a little rectangle to make a tag. Just for effect I added some fancy ribbon, I then squeezed the tag under the ribbon...and that's it! Easy luxury home made wrapping paper!
