How to wrap a gift with wrapping paper. Original DIY gift wrapping

You will need

  • - wrapping paper;
  • - decorative ribbons;
  • - scissors;
  • - tape measure;
  • - double sided tape.

Instruction

First determine the amount of paper you will need to wrap your gift. Lay the prepared box face down on the paper. Use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of the box across. Add another 2-3 cm to the hem. This is the length of wrapping paper rectangle you will need to cover all sides of the box. Determine how much paper is needed to cover its sides. Measure the height of the sides and divide the resulting value by two. Therefore, the width of a rectangular sheet of wrapping paper is equal to the sum of the length of the box and its height.

Lay the cut out rectangle of wrapping paper face down. Place the gift box in the center. Wrap first the left and then the right edges of the paper sheet tightly around the box and secure with tape. Try to place the seam of the packing list on the edge of the box on the bottom side.

Adjust the box so that the edges of the paper that protrude from the sides are the same. Stick strips of double-sided tape on the sides of the box and press the sides of the paper firmly, sticking them. Gently fold the top and then the bottom edges of the wrapping paper, pressing them against the end of the box. Repeat all the steps for the second side.

Decorate the wrapped box with decorative ribbon in a matching color. To do this, glue a piece of double-sided tape in the centers of all sides of the box. Pass the tape vertically under the box, and cross in the center of the front side, making sure that it sticks to the tape. Wrap the box with tape across the width, also sticking to the pieces of tape. Tie the ends of the ribbon in the center of the wrapped box.

Attach a nice wrapping bow if desired.

Try to decorate the box not with a ribbon, but in another original way. To do this, cut a strip 3-5 cm wide from another paper that matches the color of the main package. Wrap the box around its entire length with it and carefully connect the ends with tape. Then decorate the strip with contrasting thin ribbons or cords.

And you can not be limited to only a ribbon of one color, the more there are, the better.

Packing the box in double-sided gift paper

Moreover, for a greater effect, you can leave a small allowance in width (the brightest part of the paper is best suited for this), bend it along the line and smooth it.

After that, wrap the box in the above way. However, unlike the previous option, you will no longer need to cut out an additional strip to create a special contrast in the center of the gift. Here's how to wrap a box beautifully using holiday decor and double-sided paper.

After that, turn the container on its side and wrap it with paper around the entire perimeter. However, do not forget to leave an allowance of 1 cm for the bottom and 1-2 cm for the top. In this case, it is necessary to first remove the cover of the box.

Next, take the lid and cut out a circle slightly larger than its size. And then glue this circle on top, creating spectacular decorative folds on the sides. After that, cut a small strip of paper that will exceed the height of the lid by about 1 cm.

Glue it flush with the top of your lid, and the resulting allowance should be tucked inward. The top of the packed round or oval box can be decorated with ribbons and other decor. By the way, it is much more convenient to wrap such gifts in corrugated paper. And knowing how to pack a gift box in corrugated paper, you can easily wrap a round or oval container.

Original gift-chocolate box. This is a box the size of a chocolate bar, where a sweet present and a warm sincere wish are placed. It is possible to put a cash gift - right under the bookmark with a wish.

The chocolate bar can be decorated with any symbol of the New Year. For example, wrapping a chocolate bar in white paper, draw a figure of a snowman, put on a small hat. Original and tasteful. Thus, you can decorate any non-voluminous gift.
