Ever wish you could wrap your gifts as pretty and fabulous as the departments stores do? Well you can! Wrapping gifts can be extremely easy if you simply have some steps to follow. Below I have shown you three ways to wrap gifts some common gifts. All three of these methods are very easy and should take no longer than a few minutes. So ditch the gift bags, grab some wrapping paper and scissors, and get to work!

Wine Bottle

1. Cut an 18 ½ by 18 ½ square of wrapping paper.
2. Fold your square in a diagonal half to form a triangle.
3. Now carefully wrap the wine bottle in the wrapping paper. Tape where necessary.
4. Finish off by taping the end corner of the wrapping paper with a small piece of tape.
5. To cover the top of the wine bottle stuff a few pieces of small tissue paper around the top.
6. Lastly tie a ribbon around the pieces of tissue paper you just inserted into the wrapping paper and your wine bottle is done!

Candle

1. Lay your candle down on a sheet of wrapping paper and cut it so that it can fully cover the candle.
2. Wrap the paper around the candle and tape.
3. Now you need to fold the paper underneath the bottom of the candle. You can follow the 2-step way shown in pictures or find a method that is easiest for you. It doesn’t really matter what it exactly looks like since the bottom of the candle will not be seen.
4. Stand the candle upright and stuff some small sheets of tissue paper around the lid to the candle.
5. Simply take a ribbon and tie it anywhere around the lid to give the gift some shape and your finished!

Simple box

1. Start off by securely taping the box shut. This will make it much easier to wrap.
2. Lay the box upside down on wrapping paper to determine how much paper is needed to wrap box. You should be able to fully cover the box!
3. Wrap the paper around the box. Use tape to secure.
4. Now it is time to wrap the sides of the box. Follow my 3-steps to complete the sides. Remember to make very sharp and tight creases!

• Fold the top down and tape in middle
• Press sharp crease into both sides and fold them flat. Press a crease then onto the bottom, tape where needed
• Fold the rough edge of the bottom triangle shape to give it a more finished look and fold up to cover the remainder of the side then tape

5.   You can either be finished after step four or as shown in picture I went on to add ribbon and bows for a more polished look. It is simple and easy to do. Just use a little creativity and always remember to tape the ribbon and bows in spots that will to be seen when present is upright!
