Gift bag wrapping tips Keep these tips in mind to ensure that the gift bag you create holds up. • Medium-weight wrapping paper is ideal because it’s sturdy but not difficult to fold. • Your bag should be twice as tall as it is wide. • These gift bags are not recommended for extremely tall and/or heavy items. • You can always add a piece of cardboard to the bottom of the bag to make it sturdier. • If something feels flimsy, add more tape!
Pro tips when you’re wrapping lots of gifts • Tag your gifts! Before you dive into wrapping, write out all your gift tags and keep them with the matching presents. That way, you can keep track of which gift is which and who is getting what. • Plan your strategy. If you’re wrapping multiple presents at a time, group those together of similar sizes/shapes so you can efficiently and easily wrap them in one go. • Set up for success. Find your go-to wrapping spot and set it up with everything you need. Find a place for your Sellotape and scissors, your embellishments and adornments, and finally, your tags and final flourishes. • Get into the Christmas groove! Pop on your best-loved Christmas songs, dress in your cheesiest Christmas jumper and make gift wrapping one of your favourite festive rituals.
3. 1. Measure the width of your gift. Once you know how much paper you need, fold the wrapping paper in half. Seal with tape and fold the bottom end up.
2. Open the bottom end, so the inside of the paper is revealed. Fold the left and right edges in, then fold the top and bottom in as well. Use tape to seal all the folds.
