I love, love, LOVE!! this idea.
i’m a pastry student in the middle of my advanced cake lab and we need to make what is called a “wrapped present cake” (meaning a cake that looks like a wrapped present). and i have been wracking my head trying to think of how to color my fondant (i am not the best painter or sketch artist so that is always a bit of a challenge for me), however thanks to you i have found my answer! this is such an easy task to do. i will probably change to bands with some other shape. but this is such a great idea.
Thank you so much!!

Ha! So cool how you will use the technique. I’d love to hear how it goes!

Sweet idea! Now I wish I hadn’t thrown out my sons old toothbrush the other day! He is probably too young to comprehend this idea anyway and would probably just try and brush his teeth with a paint filled brush… But still, the idea to make your own paper will make any gift just that much more personal. Thanks for sharing!

Ha – my littlest would definitely have a mouth full of paint, too!

I’ve never seen the comb technique before. With 5 kids, I’ve got a few extra old toothbrushes available for craft projects.
I’d love for you to share your craft project with my readers at Fabulously Frugal Thursday. Have a great week!
