How to Make It
Step 1:
Place cardboard oatmeal container on a sheet of wrapping paper. Measure and cut enough paper to completely wrap the oatmeal container. Set the measured and cut wrapping paper aside.
Step 2:
Your preschooler will love this step! Pour some white school glue onto the paper plate. Have your preschooler smear glue all over the palms of his/her hands and then spread the glue all over the outside of the oatmeal container.
Step 3:
After washing your preschooler's hands, place the wrapping paper around the oatmeal container. Allow to dry.
Step 4:
When the wrapped oatmeal container is completely dry, punch two holes across from each other on the top of the container. String the festive ribbon through the holes and tie, creating a fancy handle.
Step 5:
Place some of the tissue paper inside the Oatmeal Container Christmas Gift Box. After placing your handmade Christmas present inside, place more tissue paper on top of the present, creating a unique and creative Christmas gift any recipient is sure to love!
Additional Uses
Oatmeal containers can be wrapped with birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or a variety of other special holiday wrapping papers!
