I don’t know about you, but wrapping the Christmas presents is one of my favourite things to do. Today I have some gift wrapping tips from choosing the right paper to ideas on how to wrap your presents beautifully.
What You Will Need
- Double sided tape/Tape
- Sharp scissors
- Good quality paper
- Ribbons
- Embellishments for your gifts
- Space for gift wrapping
Plan your gift wrapping and make time and clear a space in your home to wrap your gifts, store your wrapping paper and accessories in a basket to keep it all together so you aren’t hunting around for the tape or some sharp scissors.
Paper
Choose a paper to match your Christmas theme, style and colours. When you start to wrap, roll out the paper and place your gift on the paper and measure out how much wrapping you will need. Cut the paper and secure it over the gift with tape.
For a neat finish on your wrapping use double sided tape, sticky dots is also a great alternative to tape. Press each fold sharply for a neat finish.
Hard To Wrap Gifts
Boxes are the perfect solution to wrap an odd shaped gift. Use a gift box to place the gift in and tie with a beautiful ribbon. They can look so pretty sitting under the Christmas tree.
