*Unroll some of your wrapping paper face-down on a flat surface.
*Place your gift on the wrapping paper so that you can curl the loose end of the paper over the top of the box, covering one half of the gift.
*Then bring the other wrapping paper end (still attached to the roll) up to meet the paper end that you already wrapped over the top. Cut the paper so the two sides overlap a little.
*To figure out the best width lay the paper flat and place the gift on top of it, the proper amount of excess width on either side of the gift should be a little more than half the height of the gift. That way you will fully cover the gift.
*Have your tape ready and within reach. Lay the wrapping paper face-down on a flat surface. Place the gift face-down on the paper, wrap the paper around the gift as before and tape the ends of the paper together in the center of the box. You now have two side faces of the gift that are “open”. Pick one of these exposed sides to wrap next.
*Fold the left and right side flaps of this paper (as opposed to the top and bottom flaps) tightly in toward the center of the face. Press and smooth the paper over those left and right edges of the gift where you folded the paper inward. Get those edges nice and sharp. Beware of your box sliding away from you within its paper. This will cause you to have too much paper on your current side and too little on the other side.
*Now close the top and bottom flaps by folding them (bottom flap underneath the top flap) toward the center of that face of the gift. Tape the top flap to the bottom flap.
*Do the same to the other side of the gift.
*Now add a bow or some ribbon and a gift tag.
*If you still find gift wrapping to be a pain, you can always buy a gift bag.
Happy Holidays!
