4 Simple Tips for Professional Gift Wrapping
Nicely wrapped gifts make a great impression and look beautiful when you give them, but getting them right can be difficult. This video offers some simple tips on how to master gift wrapping and present these perfect gifts in just a few minutes.
Gift wrapping is not easy in general, but it is not necessary to improve your packing skills. One Kings Lane talks about what to focus on, and in the video above, you can see a demonstration of each of these tips.
- Start with a piece of paper of the right size . It should rise just over half the sides and wrap around with an inch overlap.
- Use double sticky tape for a secure, straight edge . Don’t skip the tape, the longer pieces will help glue the paper together.
- Align the seams of the paper with the edges of the gift . Pleat the fillet seams to make it easier to fold.
- If your flap is too long on the side, mark where the corners of the paper meet so you know how far to fold the excess paper.
Practice on newspaper or used brown paper first to master the technique. Once you collect them, you can wrap real gifts like a pro.
