Need help wrapping your Christmas gifts? I will try to explain how to wrap gifts in this article

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Gift wrap
  • scotch tape
  • gift boxes
  • scissors
  1. Step 1

    First you will want to place your gift in a gift box, if it isn't already in one. Add some gift tissue in the box in a fashionable way. close the box and scoth tape the box closed with alittle tape on the edges.

  2. Step 2

    Now, unroll some gift wrap and place the box on the gift wrap make sure that you have enough gift wrap to go around the entire box before cutting the gift wrap. Place a piece of tape at the edge of the gift wrap and attach it to the box. Now wrap the box with the gift wrap leaving the sides open, and place another piece of tape on the gift wrap and seal it to the box so that the gift wrap covers the entire box.

  3. Step 3

    Now you will need to work on the sides of the box. Press two opposite sides of the gift wrap against one side of the box, and tape them down. Now you should have two triangular flaps of gift wrap. Push one of the traingles down and tape it to the box. Now, fold the tip of the other triangle in on itself to make a straight edge. Then fold the flap down and tape it. To finish you can wrap ribbon around the box and add a bow and a label.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do good work and don't get frustrated, with practice you will get better.
  • Don't cut the gift wrap off the roll until you have measured the right amount.
