Gift Wrapping Tips: Bubble Wrap

Video Transcript

"If you want a present to really pop, why not use bubble wrap? This is a great way to wrap up something fragile like a vase or some perfume or something. I'm going to wrap a t-shirt today. Careful it will roll away from you. All we're going to need is a little bit of ribbon, packing tape this one, regular scotch tape is not going to hold. We'll need a pair of scissors, and of course, some bubble wrap. I save it when I get shipments, because, it's just so fun to play with. First, we're going to take our t-shirt and roll it into this piece of tissue paper, just like you would roll a sleeping bag. We rolled our t-shirt up first, and then we're going to roll it into the tissue, centered. No need to tape it or anything. Now we're going to roll it in the bubble wrap. Fold it over, and then the packing tape. It's always tricky to find the end, isn't it? There we go. Tape that in place. We'll need two more little pieces. On the ends, as well. So one in the center. One in each end. We're almost done with this. Once we've got it centered, and our tissue is pretty much where we want it to be. Yeah, that's about center. We're going to take a piece of curling ribbon. And we're gathering up just...Now it's hard with the really big bubble wrap. It's easier with the little tiny bubbles, but you can still do it. Gather up a little bit of the bubble wrap and the tissue, in your piece of ribbon. And you can add as much curling ribbon as you can stand, to this. No such thing as too much curling ribbon. So cute. Oh, I love it. Just love it. Whoops! There we go. Then, I would just add a little bit more ribbon and curl it all up. And you find that you've got something just like this, ready to go to the birthday party."
