Colourful giftwrap

I had the idea to make these colourful giftwraps a few years ago. Their structure makes it easier to wrap even unevenly shaped things, they are easy to make (also kinda relaxing:-) and look pretty pretty ;-)
The only disadvantage is that it takes a day for them to dry.

Step 1 Things you will need

- PAINT (it must be water-dilutable. I used small bottles of paint, used by painters to add a shade of colour to wall paint. I think any cheap water-dilutable paint will do well, even poster paint).

- POTATO STARCH (or corn starch or some powder found in the kitchen to make sauces thicker)

- PAPER (big sheets of plain wrapping paper. Fine, silky paper works well, but thicker paper also can be used)

- small pieces of cardboard, comb (not neccessary)

- small pots to put paints in (e.g. yoghurt pots)

- a big paintbrush

- newspaper to cover the floor
