Things You'll Need:
- Gift
- Gift card
- Wrapping paper
- Transparent tape
- Scissors
- Bow
- Ruler or tape measure
- Gift box (if your gift is awkwardly shaped)
-
Step 1
Choose a roll or package of wrapping paper. You can use a wedding print or a plain color. If you know the wedding colors, use those colors. After you have chosen the wrapping paper, pick out a bow that will coordinate with it.
-
Step 2
Unroll or unfold the wrapping paper. Unroll enough to cover the entire gift. Place your gift near the bottom right edge of the wrapping paper. If your gift is awkwardly shaped, consider placing it in a gift box.
-
Step 3
Flip your gift onto its left side. Flip it over to the left again, walking it across the wrapping paper to the left. Flip it over again to the left. At the left edge of the gift, cut straight up the wrapping paper.
-
Step 4
Place your gift in the center of the wrapping paper you just cut. Take the bottom edge of the wrapping paper and pull it up toward the gift until it touches. Move your gift down until the wrapping paper just covers the bottom of your gift. Let go of the wrapping paper.
-
Step 5
Measure the wrapping paper from the bottom of the gift to the edge of the paper. Measure from the top of the gift to that same measurement. Cut the paper above the gift at this measurement.
-
Step 6
Make sure your gift is centered on the wrapping paper. Pull the paper from the left and wrap it until it touches the back of your gift. Tear off a piece of tape and tape the wrapping paper to the gift.
-
Step 7
Pull the left side of the wrapping paper across the gift and secure it with tape as well.
-
Step 8
Look at the back of the gift. Take the paper at the bottom of the gift and pinch it from the left and right sides. This will give you a triangle at the front of the gift and a triangle at the back.
-
Step 9
Push the triangle at the back of the gift down and secure with tape. Push the other triangle down and secure with tape. Do the same to the top of the gift.
-
Step 10
Write a message on your gift card. Attach it to the front of the gift with tape.
-
Step 11
Peel off any adhesive backing on the bow. Place it either on top of the gift or on the left side of the front of the gift. Use tape if the bow does not have adhesive.
