To learn the essentials of gift wrapping, check out the video below to learn how to wrap a box-shaped object such as a book or dvd.
If you have a look on YouTube you'll find lots of videos with lots of different variations on how to wrap a present. This one uses double sided tape which, if you have it, makes your present look clean-cut. If you don't have it then it's not a problem but try to place the tape you do have neatly.
If you want to add a bow then watch the video below for an idea on how to do it.
If you've got any awkwardly shaped presents then the best way to wrap them would be to put them into a box so that you've got a nice square shape to wrap (and it's adds to the surprise of what's inside!). Sometimes plain wrapping paper can look the best, teamed with a nice pretty ribbon or just a shop bought bow! One easy, plain wrapping paper that you can keep handy for all occasions is brown parcel paper which is strong and looks really neat. Not only that, you can also write on it and stick things to it really easy making it perfect for personalising! If you're looking for some creative paper ideas then you could use tissue paper, old maps, sheet music, magazines and newspaper.
If you're stuck for present ideas then why not put together a movie night kit or start her a collection? If you haven't already read last week's post about gift giving then it's a must! And if you haven't started buying presents yet, don't forget to take this handy list of her favourite things with you and go shopping - time's running out!
All that's left to say is happy wrapping! (I'm sorry the video's so terrible but hopefully it should get you into the Christmas spirit!)
