How to Wrap a Beautiful Gift

 

1. Easy Paper Bag Style

Wrapping gifts with paper bags is probably the easiest and most uncomplicated method. This shape is quite versatile for wrapping various types of gifts, even without a box. You can use this technique for gifts ranging in size from small to large.

Typically, gift shops offer beautifully designed paper bags in various patterns. You can purchase them in retail or wholesale quantities and use them right away. Just place the gift in the paper bag, tape the top, and you're good to go.

Alternatively, you can use regular wrapping paper and shape it into a paper bag style. Place your gift on the wrapping paper, measure, cut off the excess, fold the bottom like wrapping a gift box, shape the top into an envelope, and secure it all with a ribbon. Voila!

 

2. Sweet Candy Twist

Another uncomplicated way to wrap a gift is to give it a candy shape. The form is distinct, yet wrapping a gift in this style is a breeze with just a few steps. Ensure that the gift you're wrapping is rollable or tube-shaped for this wrapping technique to work.

Take a shirt, for instance; roll it up first and position the gift in the paper's center. Then, use tape or double-sided tape to secure the wrapping paper's boundaries, leaving the right and left ends exposed. For the remaining end of the wrapping paper, twist it until it resembles a candy shape. Tie it with a ribbon to enhance the candy shape.

 

3. Chic Envelope Design

When it comes to gifting money, vouchers, or small accessories, this wrapping technique is a simple and stylish choice. Shape the gift into an envelope to give it a unique appearance. Start with a square piece of wrapping paper.

Twist the paper into a rhombus shape and position the voucher crosswise. Fold the right and left sides, as well as the top and bottom, based on the size. Adjust the wrapper if it seems too large for the gift. Fold and use glue to seal it like an envelope. Easy, right?

If the wrapping paper is plain and feels a bit dull, spice it up with a ribbon. Simply tie the ribbon vertically and horizontally around the gift. Besides ribbons, you can also use jute rope as an alternative, especially for envelope-shaped gifts wrapped in brown paper.

 

4. Canvas Pouch

Who says gift-wrapping is exclusive to wrapping paper? You can easily use alternative materials like canvas bags. Conveniently available at various stores in different sizes and budget-friendly, this straightforward gift-wrapping method just needs to be sized up to your gift.

Keep the canvas bag simple or add a personal touch with a hand-painted design for that extra personalized feel. If you're looking for a more practical option, many canvas bags in the market come with pre-decorated pictures. Simply pop the gift into the pouch and secure the top with a ribbon. Easy peasy!

 

5. Fabric Scarf

If you want to be anti-mainstream, try wrapping your gift with a fabric scarf. It's not only a standout choice but also environmentally friendly, as the wrapping fabric can be reused by the recipient. So both the gift and its wrapping are equally beneficial for the recipient.

To wrap, lay the fabric in a rhombus shape and place the gift on it, preferably with a box or tube shape. Fold the fabric at the top and bottom, leaving the ends hanging. Then, fold the right and left sides and secure it with a stylish knot tie. For an extra special touch, opt for a scarf with a pattern.

Continuing with fabric options, satin fabric is a great choice alongside scarf fabric. The glossy finish of satin adds a touch of luxury to your gift presentation, making it quite noteworthy. The wrapping process is quite similar to using a scarf.

Lay the fabric flat, forming a square shape. Place the gift in the center, cross the two ends, and tie them. To avoid a bulky appearance, hide the unfolded excess fabric. Finally, enhance the look by adding dried flowers between the folds of the fabric.

 

7. Enhance with Jute Rope Ribbon
