Finally I found a good use for my rolling pin! This little DIY is so simple and makes a very good impression as gift wrap.
The tiny air pockets of the bubble wrap becomes polka dots and by combining two colors from our Annie Sloan palette it adds a fun element.
We have used Napoleonic Blue and Antibes Green. Shop your chalk paint online here!
This is a simple DIY that you can get the kids to help out with. It’s loads of fun!
You will need:
Rolling pin | Bubble wrap | Unprinted newspaper | Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Napoleonic Blue and Antibes Green
Step 1:
Wrap a strip of bubble wrap around your rolling pin and secure it with double sided tape.
Step 2:
Paint the bubble wrap (with the air pocket side up) in two color ways in bands all around.
Step 3:
Roll the rolling pin on your unprinted newspaper to form bands of dots.
Step 4:
I have used a paraffin lamp wick as a finishing touch in yellow. Simply dilute a bit of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in English Yellow with water. Submerge your ribbon and let it soak for a few minutes before hanging up to dry.
It’s as easy as that! Hope you have lots of fun with this one.
Happy styling,
