If you get paint on the carboard you can always wipe it off with some tissue to make your print neater.
How to Make
- To start, print and cut around the templates. Stick the templates onto cardboard.
- Cover the cardboard with super tacky glue.
- Make sure the glue isn’t too thick as you won’t be able to see your design underneath.
- Follow the lines of your drawing with the cotton string. Allow the glue to dry and then cut around the string design.
- Squirt a blob of paint into a tray.
- Roll one of your rollers into the paint, until the roller is covered in the paint.
- Roll the paint onto the string design until it is completely covered.
- Place your string design face down on the newsprint.
- Use a clean roller to roll onto the back or press down with your hand – this applies pressure to create the print.
- Peel the string design off the card and leave the print to dry.
- Repeat for each design. When the prints are dry, wrap your presents in your cute Christmas wrapping paper.
