Regardless of the season, beautifully wrapped packages are always in style. Learn how to seamlessly wrap your gift in a few simple steps.

From Quick Guide: Gift Wrapping
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Place the box or package face down on a flat surface and carefully wrap paper around the surface, securing one end using double-sided tape.

  2. Step 2

    Fold the other end of the paper until it is even with the side of the box or package. Either mark the edge with a pencil or fold over to designate the proper length.

  3. Step 3

    Cut the wrapping paper approximately 2 inches beyond the mark or fold made in step 2.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the wrapping paper under to match the exact seam of the box, and secure with double-sided tape.

  5. Step 5

    Fold the paper on the remaining ends down to the bottom of the box or package. The paper may need to be cut to fit. Use double-sided tape to hold the paper in place.

  6. Step 6

    Take the remaining wrapping paper and fold toward the inside of the box, then fold the seam under and fasten with double-sided tape.

Tips & Warnings
  • Pull wrapping paper as tightly as possible to ensure smooth edges and seams.
  • Always fold paper under for a neat, seamless look.
