How to Wrap a Present

1. 1. Cut wrapping paper  so you have a 2-inch overhang. Make sure the paper covers both sides of the package’s height.
2. 2. Position the narrow side of your box diagonally across the paper you have previously cut.
3. 3. Grab edge of your paper and lift it to meet the upper corner of gift.
4. 4. You should have now created a triangle. Crease the section onto the gift and pull the corner upwards, in line with the box’s edge.
5. 5. A new edge should now be visible. Once again push paper onto gift and pull corner up once again.
6. 6. Flip the present over and tape edge.
7. 7. Two new edges have been created on the narrowest side of your box. Fold the triangle of paper down like the top of an envelope. Tape edge to secure.
