How to make your very own Christmas wrapping paper!
You can make Christmas wrapping paper out of found items. You can buy a roll of plain paper or you can use the back of a roll of wrapping paper you already have. To make the designs you can use any found items, for example a mug, a cookie-cutter, toys, a bottle top and even a potato! (check with your parent or guardian first).

1. Prepare your equipment. For example I have used three plates to mix colours, a paintbrush and a pair of scissors. I have found a gingerbread man cookie cutter a sponge a cup and a potato to print with. I also have some glitter glue some toys in the shapes of a star, circle and square and some pens to draw detail with. I have even found a spatula, the three holes can be used to add some detail to a Christmas bauble. to make a show out of a potato cut your potato in half then etch out the shape. You may need some help for this. I made a snowman and a bell.
2. Roll out your paper and mix your paints, you may need to water them down a little. For the stencils I have used the cup to make bubbles and a gingerbread man cookie-cutter. To make a shape out of a sponge you can draw the shape first then cut it out with scissors. I made a star and a Christmas tree. Even the bits left over it can be used to make pattern. You can also use cardboard.
3. Add your detail. I have used a Lego brick to make presents. You can add some details with felt tip pens,  glitter pens and even fingerprints. You can also experiment with different types of paper. Try to repeat the print to make a pattern. When your paper is dry, you are ready to wrap.

Candy Crane Wharf
by AWW UK

Our site is a dense residential building located on the ‘London Island’. We have digested inspiration from the city’s historic industrial wharf buildings situated along the waterfront. In order to sustainably meet London’s requirements to expand we’ve incorporated a modern roof extension to the converted existing building. 
We have looked to increase the number of ‘candy cranes’ along the residential waterfronts to aid in the accessibility of the Thames’ historic nautical infrastructure, specifically focusing on London’s network of existing waterways. This could increase the allowance for sugar trade following shortages due to excessive consumption from our gingerbread design team meetings.
