Why do your gift wrapping skills leave you feeling frustrated to the point you’re ready to just shove every gift in a bag and pronounce it finished? There are easy ways to wrap the perfect Christmas present. It just takes patience and practice. Make wrapping Christmas presents fun, not just something that you have to do.
Gift Wrapping How To
The first step is to get everything you’ll need for wrapping together in one localized area. If you have a small card table, those are the perfect height to use when you’re wrapping. Never wrap a gift on your bed or on the sofa. Not only can you nick the bed linens or sofa with the scissors, but because of the give in the mattress or sofa cushion, you’ll end up with wrinkles or lumps in the wrapping paper.
Don’t assume that just because you have an oddly shaped gift that it can’t be wrapped well or that you won’t be able to find a Christmas gift box to put it in. Even if you’re baking homemade goodies to share, there are special boxes and tins just for putting food in.
Next, make sure you get boxes for the gifts that will fit inside boxes. Gift wrapping odd shapes can sometimes be a real pain. If you have an oddly shaped large gift, know that you can find oversized boxes at moving companies.
Boxes give you a flat, even surface to wrap. It also takes away the ‘feel it and guess what it is’ temptation for those who can’t wait for Christmas Day to find out what their gifts are.
Don’t play guessing games with how much Christmas wrapping paper you need for the gift. Measure the width and height of the gift with a ruler or measuring tape, then cut off that much wrapping paper leaving a little excess to make the corners nice and smooth.
Situate the gift in the center of the wrapping paper. Pull up one side of the paper and using a small piece of tape, secure it to the gift. Pull up the other side, fold over a quarter inch of the paper so that it tucks under and tape it to the first side. If you don’t like tape showing, you can use a heavy duty glue stick to secure the paper, just don’t get the glue on the gift itself.
To cover the line where you folded the paper, add a strip of Christmas ribbon or use fabric ribbon. You can make a bow with Christmas ribbon or just add a store bought bow.
Remember that practice makes perfect and soon you will know how to wrap the perfect present.
