Lay out your wrapping paper on a flat surface. Unroll enough paper to accommodate the size of your gift, leaving an extra inch on each side to allow for folding and securing.


If your gift is irregular, center the widest or tallest part on the paper. If it is large, like a Christmas pencil sketch on canvas, you may need an extra sheet of paper to wrap the entire present. 


Pull one edge of the wrapping paper over the gift to cover the top. Gently pull the paper taut but not too tight. Ensure there's enough paper to cover the top and extend beyond the edges of the gift.


Wrapping the Gift

While holding the paper, use a piece of transparent tape to secure it to the gift. With the paper now anchored on one side, use scissors to cut the excess paper on the other side.

Fold the other side of the wrapping paper over the gift and tape it down. Align the wrapping paper's edge with the box's edge and secure it with a piece of tape. 


If the gift has any corners, tuck them in to create a neat finish. You can also use a ruler or credit card to crease the wrapping paper for a more professional look. Remember to do it on a flat surface to ensure neat edges.


Add a Finishing Touch

A classic finishing touch is to add a colorful ribbon or bow to the top of the gift. You can use a pre-made ribbon or create your own curling ribbon. Attach it to the wrapped gift with tape or tie it in a beautiful bow. Make sure to double-knot the ribbon so it will not loosen up when transporting them.


Personalize the Wrapped Present

Decorative stickers or labels can be a fun and unique way to add a finishing design to your beautiful gift. Look for stickers that match the occasion or the recipient's interests. Remember to add your gift tag and write a message for a personal touch.


Gift Wrapping Tips
