Wrapping Up The Season!!!
One of the best parts about the holiday season are the gifts. Everybody loves
receiving gifts, but nobody ever thinks about the wrapping part of the
equation. Most people dread gift wrapping because they find it too tedious and
dull. Besides, why spend so much time on something when in the end it is just
going to be shred to pieces? Well, no matter what the size of the gift,
wrapping a present does not have to be boring or drawn on as one might think it
does. The following shows a few examples of how to wrap common holiday
presents. A neatly wrapped package can make a great holiday gift extra special.
Feel free to apply the basic wrapping principals on any present you have to
give; you'll be glad you did.
First, start out by rolling out a nice square of paper for the classic square
box. Make sure that the pattern desired on the outside of the package remains
face down. This technique may be used for any rectangular package, too. After
having sufficient paper spread out, place the box on it face down. Then,
carefully center it to assure that the paper fits the whole box. Next, fold the
long sides over the box, and tape them down. Then, crisply fold together the
ends of the package. Now, seal the ends shut with a sufficient amount of
adhesive tape to keep them closed and resistant to tampering. One may chose the
time saving, attractive, pre-made, stick-on, satin bows to compliment the
wrapping.
The next gift wrap offers a little more challenge than a standard square box.
This method may be used to wrap circular objects. Begin by stretching out a
square sheet of wrapping paper but this time start with the package...
