every year at christmas or for birthdays i try to make my own wrapping paper. it's pretty easy with some plain white or brown bag wrapping paper and markers. my favorite markers being crayola bolds. it's fast and easy and i usually just use the same designs from the year before... although one year when i was studying for an actuarial test i used all the formulas i memorized to design wrapping paper. turns out those formulas are more useful as wrapping paper designs than in real life! maybe i need to bring them back.
anyhoo... this year i couldn't find my markers. and since it'd been a year since i took a painting course and thus had painted, i thought i could pull off an easy hand-painted wrapping paper job this year. here are the results for some birthday and christmas wrapping paper. the painting course i took was on color theory, so i learned how to make pretty much any color only using red, blue, yellow, and white paints. mixing is really the best part and i had a lot of fun with this project.
