With step by step instructions in this article, wrapping Christmas gifts won’t be a problem for you henceforth. Knowing how to wrap a present comes in handy as so often we are invited to be a part of joys and celebrations of our friends and family.
Creative Ideas of Gift Wrapping: How to Wrap Gifts with StyleRemove the Price Tag: If it is a price sticker, then it can be peeled off. But the glue of price sticker may take off with it a part of the paper that the gift box is made of (in case the gift is encased in a gift box) with this method. Sometimes, some of the glue of the price sticker may also stay behind like an ugly, sticky stain on the gift. So in this case, you can hide the price on the sticker with a black marker.Get a Gift Box: If the gift does not come in a box, try to get one. But wrapping a gift that comes in a box is much easier than wrapping them directly as with a box, the folds of the wrapping material are neat. Sometimes, if you purchase the gifts in the internet, they generally will be wrapped well.Measurement of the Wrapping Material: Unfold the wrapping material and spread it on hard surface. Put the gift in the center of the wrapping paper. Leave enough paper on sides so that ends of the paper that fold over the horizontal surfaces overlap with each other. For the other two opposite sides that cover the vertical surfaces, make sure that the paper is just enough so that it just covers the side (the height) of the box.Cut the Wrapping Material: Mark straight lines using a ruler and a pen or pencil on the wrapping material leaving as much width along each side as you estimated in the previous step, and then cut wrapping material along the lines drawn.Covering the Horizontal Surfaces: Place the gift in the center with its straight side facing the wrapping material. Take the edge of the wrapping material on one of the horizontal sides of the gift. Put it neatly over the gift box. Secure the edge of the folded side to the gift box with a small piece of tape. Take the opposite side of the wrapping material and fold it over the gift box. For the wrapping to have a neat look, it is important that this flap of paper completely overlaps the other flap of wrapping paper that has already been folded over the horizontal surface of the gift in the previous step. Secure this end with a small piece of tape.Covering the Vertical Sides: Take the paper along one of the longer edges of this side and fold it inward so that there is a wing on each side. Each wing should start from the edge where you just folded the paper, and should end at the edge of the unfolded side of the paper. Now fold these two wings inwards so that a triangle is formed of the flap of paper left on the other end. You can now either fold the apex of the triangle shaped flap or just stick it as it is, over the side of the box. Now repeat the same step with the other end.Decorate the Present: Use a ribbon to make a sweet little bow on the wrapping and stick the card on the wrapped present. Moreover, you also can use paper snowflakes, small bells, candy canes or small Christmas ornaments for decorations.Hope these help you out!
