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.
