Wrap Gifts in Foil

Video Transcript

"OK, so we folded up our edges, so it's nice and neat, and now, I can see that my foil is still a little too big. I could cut this, but actually, having an extra layer, works to our advantage, with this technique. So, I'm just going to fold the whole thing in half, and yes, that's going to work just fine. Give it a nice crease. And then, I'm going to take my chopstick, and press this out, so that both halves are behaving as one. It's OK if you have some little lines there.

Now, we're leaving one side open. This is the side that's not folded. We're going to leave that open, and then we're going to fold in, the other side, just as if we're wrapping a gift with wrapping paper. Fold your sides in first. We're going to give that a crease, with our fingers. Another crease, don't just wad this stuff up now. I like to kind of pinch it, cause that doesn't make all those little meatloaf looking shapes. And we're going to pinch that. And, fold that up. See this little rough edge here? We're going to just fold that over. There we go. And, just a little bit of tape. Next, we're going to emboss this, and add some tissue and ribbon. "
