Gift Wrapping 101

{Tiffany Bow: Coming Wednesday}
Boxes are probably the easiest things to wrap, so if you’re giving an awkwardly shaped gift, putting it in a box first is the easiest solution. The hard edges allow you to create a tidy and professional-look.
Step 1: Place the box face down on the paper, and pull up the short side and secure it with a piece of tape.
 Step 2: Fold the other side in about an inch.
 Step 3: Secure the folded side to the paper that you already secured down.
Step 4: Turn the present right way up and fold down the overhanging paper against the side of the box that remains exposed.
Step 5: Press in two side folds, smoothing the edges to give a clean finish. Next fold the bottom flap up to cover all the edges creating an envelope effect.
 Step 6: Secure with tape. Turn over and repeat the process for the other side.

    I used to struggle with odd shaped gifts until I started to buy boxes - as you say a much neater look. I like your tartan gift wrap too.

    I'm one of those people that love gift wrapping. It's relaxing for me, I just sit there and wrap for hours, haha. :)

    I actually like wrapping presents better than sticking them in gift bags Picking out the wrappings are my favorite part!

    I'm awful at wrapping gifts. This is exactly how I wrap them but it never turns out as pretty.

    I love that you did this! So smart, because some people (definitely including myself) seriously struggle wrapping gifts! And how appropriate, right before the holidays! :)
