Paint the Gift Wrap

Apply soft blended strokes of Fevicryl Pastel Colours on white chart papers to create three different pastel backgrounds. Allow the painted sheets to dry completely.

Add Decorative Patterns

Create abstract animal-inspired patterns using white and light blue paint over the dried backgrounds. Leave the painted papers aside until fully dry.

Wrap the Boxes

Cover the cardboard boxes neatly with the painted papers and secure all folds using Fevistik Power for a smooth gift wrap finish.

Shape the Animal Forms

Fold the top flaps of the wrapped boxes to create pointed ears where needed. Wrap each box neatly so the folds remain clean and well aligned.

Paint the Details

Use Fevicryl Pastel Colours to paint the eyes, whiskers, nose and mouth on each animal.
