'Twinkly sky paper'

Ok, I realise that this is a rather daft thing to be thinking about with most of my Christmas shopping still to do and FOUR (count em!) costumes to cobble together for various things at school next week, but my DC are Charlie and Lola obsessed and there is a Christmas episode where the elves run out of wrapping paper and Charlie and Lola help them to wrap all the presents in the twinkly sky (haven't explained that very well). I suddenly thought how lovely it would be if the DC's stocking presents could be wrapped in twinkly sky paper too - SO has anyone seen any wrapping paper (or tissue paper) that fits that description?! I'm imagining it being a deep dark blue with sparkly stars or glitter on it. It would need to be on the high street somewhere - we have most shops here.

Thank you in advance for indulging a rather daft (and procrastinating!) whimsy!

would be very easy to make, get some black/navy blue sugar paper and a tub of white paint, flick and e voila starry paper!

This is the only blue paper with stars on it that I've seen this year, and it ain't cheap (though you do get 20 sheets).

nice though

Think Marks might have had something like what you're after.

Ohh that's lovely Slimcognito - just the thing but I wish it wasn't so expensive! I don't think I can justify that really - it would double the cost of their stockings!

I don't think I'm desperate enough to resort to making it myself - though maybe I could get the kids to do it without realising what they are creating - I'm sure they'd love the paint flicking! Think I'm just going to have a quick trawl around town this week - will definitely try Marks, thanks BexieID.

Thanks everyone!
