Wrap paper over the box. Hold the edge of the paper wrapped around the gift box to cover half of the box.Then, rotate the roll of paper over the other side of the box. Now, the gift box is completely wrapped in wrapping paper.

Cut the paper so that the edges are overlapping. The two edges of the paper will overlap on the top of the box. Cut a line across the top paper layer so that it overlaps the lower layer by a few centimeters. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Box-shaped gift wrapping

1. 

   
   
   Stick one side of the wrapping paper into the box. After cutting enough piece of paper to wrap the gift, you can set the scroll aside and take a piece of tape. Place one edge of the paper on top of the box and press against the bottom of the box. Attach the tape to the center of the box to secure the paper.

2. 

   Fold the remaining paper over the box and apply the tape. Fold the other side of the covering over the box. Stack this layer of paper on top of the paper you just pasted in the box. Attach a piece of tape to the center of the box to fix the top layer of paper with the lower layer of paper.
   • This piece of paper will be exposed after the wrapping is completed. If you want a more straight edge, fold the edge of the paper inward before applying the tape.
   • If the gift is too big, you have to stick a lot of tape to keep everything in place.

3. 

   
   
   Toss the paper in the corners of the box inwards. The other two sides of the box still have paper not folded in. Working with each side, push both sides of the paper inward so that it fits into the corner of the box.

4. 

   Tighten the triangular folds. Once the sides of the paper are wrapped in the corner, you should see four triangular creases in each corner. Use your fingers to work through each fold to fix the triangle.

5. 

   Fold the two sheets of paper together. Up to this point, the top and bottom of the box have two trapezoidal paper flaps. Fold down the top paper flap and tighten the edge to hold it in place. Then, fold up the bottom flap so that it overlaps the other. You also squeeze the edge of the paper to hold it in place.

6. 

   
   
   Repeat for the other side. Turn the box around and wrap it in the same way for the other end. Fold the wrapping paper in the boxes. Make the folds of the four triangles. Fold the top panel down and fold the bottom panel up. Use tape to glue the two sides of paper. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Cylindrical gift wrapping

1. 

   Measure the size of the item to be wrapped. Measure the circumference of the object with a tape measure. Add 10 cm to your circumference. Then measure the length of the object and the diameter of the circle.
   • To measure the circumference, wrap the tape measure around the item to be wrapped.
   • To measure the diameter, measure from one end of the circle to the other.
   • If the object has two circles of different sizes, measure the one with the larger diameter.

2. 

   Cut tissue paper to make gift wrapping paper. Cylindrical objects should be wrapped with tissue paper instead of regular gift wrapping paper. Cut the tissue in a rectangle. The width of the rectangle is the circumference of the object plus 10 cm. The length of the rectangle is the diameter plus the object length.
   • For example, the circumference of the circle is 13 cm, the object length is 20 cm, and the diameter is 10 cm. The rectangle will measure 23 x 30 cm.

3. 

   Wrap the paper around the object. Wrap one side of the paper around the cylinder. One edge of the paper will overlap the other side a little. Paste the top layer of paper with the lower layer at the center point of the object.

4. 

   Twisted the ends to cover the cylinder. The paper on either end of the object is still protruding. Twist the protruding paper at one end of the object two to three times. Then, wrap the tape around the twist to hold it in place. Repeat for the other side.
   • Wrapping a cylinder is like wrapping a piece of candy, such as a Tootsie Roll.

Method 4 of 4: Decorating the gift wrapping

1. 

   Turn the box back over. Decoration item will be attached to the top of the gift box. Turn the box back over so the edges are not visible from above.

2. 

   Tie bow on gift. Use ribbons purchased from the department store or supermarket. Turn the gift box face down so that the edges of the previously glued paper are facing up. Stick one end of the ribbon to the center of the gift box. Wrap the circumference of the box around the short edge, then cut and glue this end of the string into the box.
   • If you want, you can wrap the bow 2 times. Repeat this process, but this time wrap the ribbon around the package along the long edge.

3. 

   Stick the bow on the gift box. To save time, you will buy ribbons with stickers in place of tying them. This type of bow is often sold in supermarkets. The bow has double-sided tape on the back, and you just need to attach it to the gift box.

4. 

   Use fake berries and leaves as decorations. You can buy fake berries and leaves at gift or craft stores. They will be decorative items that look fun. Additionally, red berries and leaves are traditional winter decorations.

5. 

   Attach the bell around the ribbon. If you're going to tie the ribbon, try adding a few bells. Thread a few bells onto the ribbon before wrapping it around the gift box to create a sparkle. This is a great holiday decoration. advertisement
