There are different ways to wrap up a present properly; while some methods are a little bit difficult, others are very simple.

Here, you will need how to wrap up a present in simple steps.

1. Gather the various materials you will need. For this method, materials such as scissors, wrapping paper, tape are needed.

2. Start by determining the right size of the wrapping paper you will need. This can be done by placing the wrapping paper on a flat surface and roll the present over it to get the right size.

3. Fold the first side and apply tape to it, then fold the other side too.

4. Also, fold the remaining two ends i.e., the top and bottom of the present. Then secure both sides with tape.

5. Remember how you add a bow with your shoelace? You will need to do the same here.

Have you ever struggled to wrap up a present for someone and had disastrous results? Not everyone is gifted in the area of present wrapping (pardon the pun), but with these simple instructions, you will become acclimated to the process and hopefully understand how to do it for next time.

• Tape one edge of the gift-wrapping paper to the box.

• Once you cut the paper to the right size, you can let go of it.

• Fold over the free edge of the paper over the box, press it flat against the bottom of the box.

• Use scotch tape and place it near the middle of the box and secure the paper.

• Fold the additional side of the paper over the top of the box.

• Overlap this paper marginally with the paper at the bottom layer.

• Tuck in the wrapping paper on the corners.

• Two sides of the present will still have wrapping paper poking outside.

• Start on one side, and push both ends of the paper so that they envelop the corners of the box.

• Crease the triangle-shaped folds.

• The ends should hug the corners of the box.

• You will see four triangle shape folds on each of the corners.

• Make use of your fingers to crease each fold to secure it.

• Fold over the upper and lower flap.

• Now, there should be two trapezoid-shaped flaps on the top and bottom of the box.

• Fold the top flap down and crease the edge to secure it.

• Pull the bottom flap up so that it overlaps with the top flap.

• Crease the edge to secure the fold.

• Make sure the sides don’t pop up and put the tape on either side.

• Secure the upper flap to the lower flap, placing the tape in the middle of the box’s side.

• This side of the box should be fully covered by wrapping paper.

• Do the same to the other side.

• Press is wrapping at the box’s corners inward. Make sure the whole box is covered sufficiently with wrapping paper.

• Tape the folds down.

• Now, you can wrap like a pro!

You want to make sure that you will get the best Christmas gift for the people that you care for. The problem is that you may not have the ability to wrap it properly.

These are some tips that can help you wrap your gifts well:

• Make sure that you will start with a wrapper in the right size.

• It will always be easier to wrap gifts that are placed inboxes.

• You can match the seams of the paper with the different edges of the gift that you would choose.

• If in case the flap on the side of the gift is too long, you can cut it a bit so that you can fold it properly.

There are also some people who would like to use other wrappers that are different from wrapping paper. It will be up to you to decide which one will work best for you.

Wrapping gifts can be a bit tricky, especially if you do not know how to wrap the gift, you may end up showing something that is not good at all.

These are some of the things that you can do:

• Prepare all the things that you need.
• Remember that it is always easier to wrap something that is rectangular or square.
• Pack everything in a box.
• The thicker the wrapping paper, the easier it will be to wrap everything.
• Make sure that your scissors are thick, or you will have a hard time cutting everything that you need.

Wrapping gifts should not feel like a chore, so hopefully, all of these things will help you out.
