Always wrap on a clean, hard surface, like a kitchen table. Should your table be full of holiday baking, eat those cookies. But men, please, no drinking directly from the milk carton. |
| 2. |
Consider wrapping gift in tissue paper first. This provides some cushioning and adds an element of surprise. |
| 3. |
Pick attractive gift wrap. If in doubt as to what constitutes
attractive gift wrap, consider a plaid (our personal favourite). |
| 4. |
Tape gift wrap onto box. Use Scotch® GiftWrap Tape, which disappears on most giftwrap papers.
OR
To really impress, and for a change of pace, try Scotch® Double Sided tape. Apply one side to box and apply gift wrap to adhesive strip for that professional “Martha Who?” look.
|
| 5. |
Invert gift and calculate where to trim gift wrap for full coverage. |
| 6. |
Trim gift wrap and tape over bottom edge already taped to box. Don’t skimp with the Scotch® tape-you-know-who will always try to peek. |
| 7. |
Rotate gift by 90°. Fold in horizontal edges of gift wrap to cover sides of gift. Tape into place. |
| 8. |
Make triangles from remaining gift wrap on top and bottom edges. Fold in and tape on both edges. |
| 9. |
Repeat above step for other side of gift. |
| 10. |
Write something thoughtful on the gift card and tape it to wrapped package. |
| 11. |
Last but not least, affix ribbons, bows or other adornments. |
