Tips for Gift Wrapping

These are the tips for wrapping a present perfectly.

  • Prepare and clean out your working space.
  • Use sharp scissors for cutting.
  • Secure fragile items in gift boxes.
  • Cut enough wrapping paper to cover the whole gift.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix up patterns.
  • Use tissue paper and if you’re feeling fancy, some fabric.
  • Remember: don’t wrap a gift in the same paper twice. If your gift is small, you can use tissue paper or tissue puff. If it’s bigger and/or heavier, try double-sided tape or twine.

Different Ways to Wrap a Present:

If you want to go all out with your presentation, there are several different ways to wrap a present:

  • With ribbon: Wrap the ribbon around the box or package and tie in a knot at the end. This can make your gift look like it’s wrapped up in something more expensive than it really is.
  • With twine: This is a common way people wrap gifts if they have time on their hands but don’t have time to tie a bow on their gift. Simply wrap one end around the box or package twice and pull tight so that it doesn’t unwrap itself (or use rubber bands). Then tie off with another piece of twine and make sure none of the ends are showing when it comes time to give it away!
  • With paper: When wrapping with paper instead of string or ribbon, simply fold each piece once then secure it with tape.

In my opinion, wrapping a gift is always better than just giving it to someone in the box. It shows the care and emotions you have put towards the purchase. Besides, the whole colorful process of gift wrapping makes it a fun activity instead of just bringing a box to your family or friends. Hope you learned how to wrap a gift.
