Instructions
1. Cut the wrapping paper as follows:
• Pattern 1 = 16cm x 16cm
• Pattern 2 = 14.5cm x 16cm
• Pattern 3 = 13cm x 16cm
• Pattern 4 = 11.5cm x 16cm
• Pattern 5 = 10cm x 16cm
• Pattern 6 = 8.5cm x 16cm
• Pattern 7 = 7cm x 16cm
• Pattern 8 = 5.5cm x 13cm
• Pattern 9 = 4cm x 13cm
2. Start by rolling each piece of paper around the marker, removing the marker as the shape starts to form. This ensures that each roll is the same thickness.
3. When you have rolled the length, secure with selloptape along that join.
4. Continue to do this until all nine pieces of wrapping paper are rolled.
5. Next take your piece of brown card shaped like a pot and, using glue dots, fix it to the bottom of the page.
6. Add your largest wrapping paper roll using glue dots to fix it to the card.
7. Continue adding the next size until you have reached the top.
8. Then glue on your star decoration using the glue gun.
9. If you wish to hang the decoration you can glue on some Christmas ribbon to the back of the mount board or card using the glue gun.
