A self-professed DIY expert has shared how a sponge, some paint and an $8 roll of “kids drawing paper” from Ikea makes for some stylish wrapping paper!
Geneva Vanderzeil (from TikTok) cuts the sponge and then uses it to stamp kids drawing paper.

Geneva draws a grid on a yellow sponge before slicing along the lines and removing every second square, to make a chess-board pattern.
She then chooses her paint and soaks the yellow side of the dish sponge before spreading out her plain piece of paper.

Once the whole piece is stamped she leaves it to dry, not worried about imperfections or patchy paint.
How cool is this? Would you use this hack?
