Castle Keeper Girls Make Their Own Gift Wrap

Most of the time I haven’t any problem thinking of new challenges for the Castle Keeper girls. It’s actually kind of fun looking for ideas for the girls. This past month they did gift wrapping and bow toppers.

They were to wrap a book or some other item (it did not have to be a real gift) and make their own wrapping paper as well as a bow topper.  The girls 13 and up had to do 4 different packages and 12 and under only had to do one.

Here’s a sampling of their work.

Audrey (age 9) took a potato and dipped it in red paint to make her watermelon print. It’s an idea she saw on Pinterest.

The use of a simple doily, a leaf printed onto paper. Such cute ideas.

Bow toppers from material and heavy brown paper. Packages with polka dots painted on and packages with fabric wrapped around it.

Packages wrapped with wrapping paper and packages stamped with a rubber stamp.

Serenity (age 17) really enjoyed this challenge. These are the ones she made

Old music sheets were used as wrapping paper.

Here she took a button, dipped in paint to stamp her paper.

And for this one, she found a branch from the outdoors to use as her topper and used the Silhouette Cameo to cut out the bird and birthday greeting.

This month’s challenge is painted rocks! I’m looking forward to seeing what the girls do with that.
