Step 1 of 19

Before cutting, role out paper and measure so paper covers 3/4 of the gift's top.

Step 2 of 19

Cut the paper in a straight line making sure the paper covers 3/4 of the gift top on the left and 1/2 on the right.

Step 3 of 19

Measure the sides with the 3/4 rule for the top and bottom

Step 4 of 19

Cut any excess

Step 5 of 19

Place the gift upside down on paper

Step 6 of 19

Start your wrapping! Bring the paper 3/4 of the way like we did when measuring. Pull the paper tight and lightly push the box against it

Step 7 of 19

Pinch the paper along the edge to make a sharp corner. Tape the paper to the gift in 2-3 places, depending on size.

Step 8 of 19

Fold the other side of the paper and press so you have a straight, sharp line. Paper should fold over about 3/4 of an inch... See a pattern ;)

Step 9 of 19

Repeat step six and seven

Step 10 of 19

Tape in 2-3 places

Step 11 of 19

Fold side down, pushing out any creases in the wrapping. Pinch the edge like before. Tape in 2-4 places, make sure that one piece of paper tapes over the seam

Step 12 of 19

Push the paper to the box from edge to edge. Keep the paper tight to the box and form a crease along the side.

Step 13 of 19

Pull the creased corner tight and tape so the tape connects the box and both corners of the wrapping. Complete on both sides.

Step 14 of 19

Hold paper tight and crease lower wrapping on each side.

Step 15 of 19

Fold and crease. Make sure not to get any ripples... Like what you see there. Once this is done, do not tape. Complete up to this step on the other end.

Step 16 of 19

Once each side has been folded and taped except for one the one flap, place gift vertically and pull the flap tight. Crease edge and tape at the center and each corner.
