Pick Your Christmas Scene
Wrapping Christmas presents can be fun, especially when you’re helping Santa out! Make sure your set up is comfortable, preferably on a flat surface with enough space around you. Get plenty of wrapping paper, and consider boxes for odd-shaped gifts!
All Wrapped: The Ultimate Guide
Step One
Choose your location first. Whether it’s the bedroom floor or kitchen table, make sure your space is flat with plenty of room around you.
Step Two
Measure your paper to the correct size and cut using scissors. Top Tip: Ensure your paper will meet in the middle when folded, and has enough room at the sides.
Step Three
Place your gift in the middle of the paper and fold the two outsides together, so they overlap on top of the gift. Secure it with sellotape.
Step Four
At the bottom of the gift and with the Remaining paper, fold the top layer down to create creases on the two sides. Creases make it easier to fold.
Step Five
Fold the bottom left corner inwards, towards the right inner corner so it’s parallel to the bottom of the gift. Repeat on the other side in the opposite direction.
Step Six
You should now have a triangle! Fold it up and towards the top of the gift, sealing the bottom and then securing with sellotape.
Step Seven
Repeat the above steps on the other side of the gift. The more you crease your paper before folding, the smoother the edges will appear.
Step Eight
Add your finishing touches! Christmas-wrapped gifts already look great with festive paper, but there’s tons more you can add too like ribbons, tags and bows.
