How to Wrap a Gift
Most people love receiving gifts, but wrapping them can be daunting, especially if you’re unfamiliar need to become more essential. Here are some tips on how to wrap a gift so that it looks professional and presentable:
1. Choose the right paper.
Wrapping paper comes in many different colours, patterns, and textures. Consider what would look best with the Gift itself and the occasion it is being given. If unsure, plain white or brown kraft paper is always a safe bet.
2. Cut the paper to size. Make sure you have enough paper to cover the entire Gift, plus a little extra for overlapping at the seams. It’s better to err on the side of too much rather than too little.

How Do You Wrap a Simple Gift?

First, you’ll need some wrapping paper. Choose a design or colour that will complement the Gift itself. Once you have your wrapping paper, cut it to size so that it will be large enough to cover the entire Gift. Next, take the piece of tape and attach one end of it to the top edge of the wrapping paper. Then begin wrapping the paper around the Gift, making sure to smooth out any wrinkles as you go. When you reach the end of the wrapping paper, use a piece of tape to secure it in place. Now all that’s left to do is add a bow or other decoration, and your simple wrapped Gift is complete!
How Do You Wrap a Soft Cylinder Gift?
When wrapping a soft, cylindrical gift, you will want to start by measuring the height and circumference of the item. Next, cut a piece of wrapping paper that is twice the height of the item and long enough to wrap around it completely.
Fold the paper in half lengthwise and then in half again to resemble a long, thin rectangle. Place the Gift horizontally on top of the paper so that one end touches each folded edge. Start at one end and begin rolling the Gift until it is completely wrapped. Once finished, use tape to secure the seam where the two edges of the paper meet. You can also decorate the ends of your wrapped Gift by tying ribbons or bows around them.
In Summary
If you want your Gift to look extra special, take the time to wrap it in a soft material. You can use fabric, felt, or even an old T-shirt. Make sure whatever you use is clean and has no holes.
To start, cut a piece of fabric that’s large enough to wrap around your Gift with a few inches to spare. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, then place your Gift in the middle. Fold the top and bottom edges of the fabric over the Gift, so they meet in the middle, then tie them together with a string or ribbon. For a more polished look, you can sew the edges of the fabric together instead of tying them. If you’re using felt or another thin material, you may need to put something inside it to give it some structure before wrapping your Gift. Once you’ve wrapped your Gift, add a tag with the recipient’s name and a special message.
