Measure and cut the wrapping paper to size
Place the gift in the center of the wrapping paper and cut enough paper to completely cover the gift. Make sure to leave enough space on the sides to wrap and fold the paper around the gift. Use a ruler or fold the wrapping paper to measure if the paper overlaps enough on all sides to completely cover the gift. Then cut straight along the edges to get a neat and appropriate amount of wrapping paper.
Fold the wrapping paper
First, fold the long sides of the wrapping paper over the gift and tape it down. Then fold the ends like an envelope and tape it down firmly. Make sure that the folds are nice and tight, so that your gift is neatly wrapped. Use enough tape to keep everything in place.
Decorate the wrapped gift
Use a pretty ribbon to create a bow around the gift. Choose matching stickers with cheerful images or text to brighten up the wrapping paper. Consider other decorative elements such as mini baubles, small toy figures or dried flowers. Be creative and add personal touches that suit the recipient of the gift.
Check for any imperfections
Check the wrapped gift for loose ends, wrinkles or irregularities. Make any necessary adjustments for a perfect presentation. Make sure all folds are tight and neat and that the wrapping paper fits nicely without wrinkles. If you see any loose ends, smooth them out and tape them securely in place. This way, your gift will look perfect and the recipient will be extra happy with the care you took in presenting it.
Add a gift tag
- Write a personal message on the gift label.
- Example: “Happy birthday, dear friend!”
- Attach the gift tag securely to the gift.
- Example: Use ribbon or stick the label directly onto the wrapping paper.
