I would put a ribbon on it too to give it a bit of color. I personally like to use gold and silver for Christmas- I know its not the norm but I like to be different:)
The first thing you’ll need is some black craft paper.
Available at Amazon
Pacon Kraft Paper (PAC67304)
| Price: | $32.88 & FREE Shipping Huge Roll |
Next you’ll need a white paint marker that will show up well on black paper.
1. tim holtz distress marker in ‘picket fence’. this one looks very ‘chalky’. it goes on clear, but quickly dries in white.
2. sakura pen-touch white. this is the one i used for almost all of the packages. it’s easy to work with and still hasn’t run dry, so one is probably plenty!
3. crayola white colored pencil. not the greatest option, but it does show up if it’s all you have.
4. painters opaque paint marker. this is another good option. the point is a bit finer than what i wanted, but would work great for detail work!
Available at Michael's Hobby Lobby, etc.
