Day 1: DIY Chalkboard Art Paper

Our Day 1 idea is inspired by our elementary school days of blackboards and colored chalks.  This incredibly simple gift decorating idea takes just three steps, meaning basically anyone can master it. First, gather your gift wrapping essentials.

Supply List:

1. Scissors
2. Scotch tape
3. Black craft paper
4. Colored chalk

 

When you have all you need, wrap your present in the black craft paper. Next, channel your inner child and decorate the gift however you would like with the chalks. And that’s it!  Decorate in festive bows, snowflakes, or go for something more neutral like stripes or pretty graphic shapes. You can use several colors or classic white—the only limit is your imagination.

 

To make sure the chalk doesn’t rub off, spray the gift with hairspray to seal it in.  Not a fan of getting your fingers dirty? Use a chalk marker, that is just as fun but leaves zero mess!
