Have you ever had to wrap a really big item that your paper doesn't fit? It's really easy to piece the paper together so no one will know! This will also work for smaller items if you accidentally cut your paper to small.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1
     

    Lay the two pieces of paper next to each other. If it is a very big item just clear your floor and roll out two lengths of full size paper.

  2. Step 2
     

    Tape the two edges together with DOUBLE sided tape. It is best if the paper is plain or has a simple design, you could loose your mind trying to match a picture!

  3. Step 3
     

    Place the gift on the paper so that the seam of the two papers is located where you will be placing the ribbon. Wrap the package as usual.

  4. Step 4
     

    This is how the seam will look before we hide it.

  5. Step 5
     

    Place the ribbon on the package so that it covers the seam. Secure with DOUBLE sided tape so the ribbon doesn't slip and give away your secret!

Tips & Warnings
  • Always use DOUBLE sided tape, you will not get the same look using regular tape.
  • Remember to place the seam where you plan to put the ribbon.
  • Secure the ribbon so it doesn't slip and give away the secret!
