Instructions

    • 1

      Leave an oversized present in its brown shipping box and decorate the box with acrylic paint, decorative stamps or stencils, and some holiday plaid ribbon. Make a large bow to go on top. This works best if the box has no writing on it.

    • 2

      Ask for an oversized refrigerator, oven or dishwasher box at an appliance store. These boxes are perfect for gifts like bicycles and other large toys.

    • 3

      Find a box that will fit over a large appliance. Ask the retailer for the original box or one of a similar size. Cut out one end of the box with a box cutter and gift-wrap the intact portions of the box. Position your gift in the desired spot and cover it with the wrapped box. Add ribbon and a large bow. The gift recipient will only have to lift the box in order to unwrap the gift.

    • 4

      Use a large fabric Santa bag made especially for oversized gifts. Place the object in the bag and secure the top with the provided drawstring or other closure device. A length of cording with attached tassels works well.

    • 5

      Embellish the gift instead of trying to conceal it. Decorate the gift with holiday ribbons and bows as its only wrappings.

    • 6

      Wrap the gift in clear, tinted cellophane. Tie it at the top with ribbon and a bow.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use a craft knife to remove any shipping labels from a box before you decorate it.

  • Make sure that a bicycle or toy is supported in the box and will not move around.

  • Make your own fabric bag from print or solid holiday fabric.
