A DIY Tutorial on Gift Wrapping 

Materials required:

• Present to be wrapped.
• Wrapping paper. Buying rolls of wrapping paper is better than buying individual sheets, since one can measure and cut the amount of paper required to wrap the box from the roll, and there is no possibility of the paper being too small for the gift.
• Tape to stick the paper to the gift.
• Ribbon or bow that can be pasted on top of the gift.

Method:

• First, the wrapping paper must be cut to size after measuring the gift. It is always good to cut a little more than the exact amount to leave the paper for folding and tucking around the gift.

• Placing the gift in the centre of the paper, one side should be folded over the other.
• The top and bottom edges should be taped to keep the whole thing firmly in place.
• Then, the remaining papers on the edges of the gift should be folded in. It should form two triangles- one at the top and one below.
• The triangle at the top should be folded downwards, while the triangle at the bottom should be folded upwards.
• The section in the middle, where the two triangles meet, should be secured with tape. Extra tape may be added to whichever section that one feels is not secure enough.
• The same process must be repeated on the other edge.
• In the end, the gift should be wrapped in a ribbon with a bow on top. Or, one can purchase readymade bows from gift shops and paste them on the front face of the gift to give it a neat, ornamental finish.
• Thus, the gift is wrapped and ready to be presented.
