Homemade Mother's Day Gifts: Make Your Own Mother's Day Wrapping Paper

I love making my own Mother's Day wrapping paper. It is a fun and simple project that can really finish a homemade Mother's Day gift perfectly.

While this Mother's Day wrapping paper may not cost any less than the store bought version, it will look like a million bucks!

Now, when making your Mother's Day wrapping paper you have a couple choices you can make. You can go ahead and roll out the paper on a work surface and decorate it before you even wrap your Mother's Day gifts.

You could also decorate the Mother's Day wrapping paper after your Mother's Day gift has been wrapped. I sort of like this method because when you have folds on the sides of the gift you can really disguise them by stamping or stenciling directly on them. Your mother will be amazed and wonder how you wrapped their gift and made all the details on the Mother's Day wrapping paper match!

So, I cannot not tell you what to draw, paint, or stencil your own wrapping paper for Mother's Day, but what I can do is give you a few ideas that are great starting points.

Try stenciling your wrapping paper with all of the words that mean Mother to you. For example:

Love, Warmth, Sharing, Mom, Mama, Mother, Eternal, Gracious, Sweet, Kind, Giving, and well, any words that are your mother! She will love this.

Try using some of those great letter stencils. I love calligraphy letter looking letters. The letters are distinctive and so fun. You can make your own letter stencils with a sheet of acetate. If you have a computer print o some different fonts and try tracing the font letters onto your acetate. Cut them out with an exacto knife and you have an awesome vintage stencil for your Mother's Day wrapping paper!

So, cut out your letters and tape them to your paper with painter's tape.

Tip: Buy the low adhesive painter's tape.
