Wrapping gifts, as anyone who has done so will tell you, is a talent.
And as talent goes, some of us have it and some don’t.
If you are gift-wrapping challenged, fear not, because anyone can make their gifts look great with a little help.
Below are a few videos that take you step-by-step through the wrapping process.
Before you begin, be sure to gather your supplies – wrapping paper, a box for the gift, tape (double-sided is good to have), scissors, ribbon and any extra box decoration you want to include.
Next, make sure you have a good, flat surface to work on.
Now you are ready to go for technique. The videos offer tips on regular box wrapping, wrapping items without a box, and tackling those odd-shaped gifts (think bicycle).
