Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Buy a large, solid-colored roll of Christmas wrapping paper and a roll of thick, contrasting ribbon. Make sure the roll of wrapping paper is wider than your front door.
-
Step 2
Tape the paper to the top and then roll it down, securing the sides with tape as you go. Neither the tape nor the edges of the paper should be visible from the front.
-
Step 3
Cut the paper at the bottom, leaving enough room to tape the edge of the paper under the door.
-
Step 4
Attach ribbon to the door in a + shape so it looks like the top of a present.
-
Step 5
Tie a large bow and tape it to the center.
-
Step 6
Cut a small hole around the peephole with an X-Acto knife and remove the circle of paper.
-
Step 7
Cut a 4-by-8-inch rectangle out of a piece of poster board and turn it into a gift tag by writing, "Merry Christmas from the [family name]" on it with a thick red or green marker. Attach it with the corner taped under the bow.

on 11/22/2005 If the door is used often, the paper will pull away from the staples and scotch tape pretty quickly. The best tape to use it is clear package tape. It's wide enough to hold the paper to the door securely and stands up to repeated use of the door.
