How to wrap a gift

How you can wrap a gift using traditional paper as well as nontraditional.

The first step to wrapping your gift is to choose the materials you are going to wrap it with. Make sure it is appropriate; such as birthday paper, baby shower paper, etc. Also, choose a corresponding bow. Choose a box to put your gift in.

The next step would be to measure the amount of wrapping paper you need. To do this, place the gift in the middle of the wrapping paper. Fold the paper over until you have enough to cover the box. Unfold the paper then cut appropriately.

Turn the package over and place onto the wrapping paper. (Makes sure the print side can not be seen).

Fold the paper lengthwise. Then proceed to tape these edges together with scotch tape. Now focus your attention to the sides of your package. Push the paper in on the sides, this should make a triangle like shape on the top and bottom pieces of paper. Tape the sides to the box. Proceed to do this on the otherside.

Fold the edge of each flap. Tape the top edge over then proceed to tape it to the box the take the bottom edge over the to of the top edge. Then proceed to do this to the otherside.
