To prepare a gift, we are rather scrupulous: we take into account the individual preferences and hobbies of the recipient. One of the important roles in this process is a holiday wrapper, giving a special charm and mystery to the gift. Did you know that it's very simple to pack a gift in a gift paper with your own hands? In this article, you will find step-by-step instructions on how you can beautifully, creatively and easily pack any items with your own hands.

Step-by-step instruction: how to beautifully pack a gift

Have you ever thought that only specially trained people can package gifts? A great misconception! Most importantly, all the tools for creating such a masterpiece are available to everyone. We will need:

So, proceed: 1 step : First you need to measure and cut out the necessary amount of gift paper for packing. Note that you need to measure the rectangle in such a way that on each side of the gift you have a margin of several centimeters to further uniformly bend the paper. For example, look at the margin with which the gift paper is cut off in the photo.
On a note! If you have never folded a gift paper before, you can practice, for example, on an unnecessary newspaper. By the ready "pattern" from the newspaper it will be possible to measure the necessary amount of gift paper.

Step 2: Bend the edge of one of the two vertical sides by 1 cm and glue the tape on it. Combine the vertical sides. Pull the gift paper so that it fits tight enough. If you follow all the rules, you can see that the seam is almost invisible.

Step 3: Now go to the sides. Gently bend the top of the gift paper, as shown in the photo.

Step 4 : Next, gently bend the side pieces.

Step 5: The case remains for the small. Apply a strip of double-sided adhesive tape to the top of the remaining piece of paper (the edge of the paper must also be bent). Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and fix the entire side part. Note that the lower part should end exactly in the middle, as shown in the photo.

Step 6: Repeat the whole procedure on the other side of the gift.

Step 7: Time to decorate. No gift can not do without a festive bow. We will also do it ourselves. To do this, you need to take three ribbons matching the gift paper shades. You should tie these tapes to each other, thereby creating the necessary volume.

Step 8: In addition to ribbons, you can decorate a gift with any decorative elements that you have in your everyday life. It turns out this is such a beauty!

How to pack a box in a gift paper

Tired of the monotony in gift wraps? Then you are at! Below is a step-by-step instruction on how you can pack the box with very original items. The unusual nature of this type of packaging lies in the fact that instead of a gift paper we will take an ordinary newspaper, and a woolen thread and buttons will replace the bow. Quite a beautiful and conceptual version! Step 1: Take the turn of any newspaper (preferably already lay some time on the shelf). Do not forget to pay attention to the information that is there. It may turn out to be an uncomfortable situation if the article proves to be unpleasant for the recipient of the gift. Approach this stage with no less creative. Bend the edge of the newspaper to one side of the box.

Step 2: Do the same work from the opposite side. Note that from this side the newspaper sheet should only reach the middle. Cut the unnecessary parts of our gift paper with scissors.
On a note! If possible, put the gift on the bottom and start packing. All seams will remain invisible.

Step 3: Now you need to go to the other sides of the package. Bend one side so that it ends in one place with the edge of the box.

Step 4: Bend the left side edge so that it can close the left side of the gift. Leave a small margin in a couple of centimeters. The rest can be cut with scissors.

Step 5: Just as in the first instruction, combine the left and right sides of the paper with a double-sided adhesive tape. The stock that we left should be bent and hidden inside.

Step 6: Go to the other sides of the box. Here, the technology is identical to the one described above. Using a few strips of adhesive tape, glue the upper part first.

Step 7: Next, glue the side pieces of paper and the bottom. Do not forget that it should only reach the middle of the edge of the box.

Step 8: As we have already said, the decorative elements in this case are quite original. Wrap the gift box with a thread.

Step 9: Decorate the resulting "bow" with buttons.

How to pack a round gift

With square and rectangular gifts, we sorted it out. Now on the turn of the package is a round gift. This method of gift packaging is also quite original. Instead of gift paper, we take a piece of dense fabric and arrange it all with a contrasting tape. Thus, we do not even need scotch or scissors (only if we cut the fabric). Step 1: Put a round gift on the middle of the fabric.

Step 2: Collect all the edges of the fabric together at the top of the gift.

Step 3: Secure the packaging with a satin ribbon. Tightly tie her collected ends and tie a bow.

Here is an unusual way of packing without gift paper. It looks very stylish and expensive.

How to pack a big gift in a gift paper

The technology of packaging a large gift in a gift paper is no different from the usual. Step 1: Put a gift (in this case a large box) on a cut piece of gift paper of the appropriate size. Bend all the edges of the gift exactly as it was done in the first version.

Step 2: Take the satin ribbon and tie it with a ready gift.

Step 3: You can tie an ordinary woolen thread around the top of the satin ribbon. This will give the package more charm and detail.

Step 4: Decorate the gift box with the available decorative elements. It turns out very nice!
