Give a plain sheet a deliberate design by repeating one small drawing with consistent spacing across the surface. Gather plain reusable paper, a pencil, a felt-tip pen, and a scrap sheet.
Set it up
Test the pen on the scrap sheet and choose a simple symbol such as a leaf outline, a star, or a little house.
Put the idea to work
Mark faint guide rows and repeat the symbol while alternating its direction, leaving generous space between neighboring marks.
Finish and keep it useful
Allow the ink to dry fully, erase visible guide marks, and fold the paper neatly around the gift. Do not assume a marker is dry before testing whether it transfers onto the present or your hands.
Which small drawing would you repeat across a sheet of wrapping paper?
