How To Wrap A Box With Wrapping Paper | Step 1: Roll Out The Wrapping Paper | Awesome Gift Wrapping Ideas | Gift Wrapping Tutorials

First, open the roll of the wrapping paper on your flat working area. Make sure there is enough wrapping paper to cover the whole gift. Get the measurement if needed, leaving a few extra inches just to be on the safe side!

 

Step 2: Place Your Gift

How To Wrap A Box With Wrapping Paper | Step 2: Place Your Gift | Awesome Gift Wrapping Ideas | Gift Wrapping Tutorials

After your paper is cut to the exact size, place your gift facing down in the center of the paper. Bring your wrapping paper from the long side of the box, up to the center of your box. Gently pull the two sides so the paper embraces your package evenly, and close it with tape.

 

Step 3: Fold The Wrapping Paper

How To Wrap A Box With Wrapping Paper | Step 3: Fold The Wrapping Paper | Awesome Gift Wrapping Ideas | Gift Wrapping Tutorials

Next, face the open bottom towards you, then fold the right and left edges, pushing the sides in next to your box, to form flaps. Pull on all edges to make sure your folds are crisp, this is how you will achieve sharp packaging edges, think of it like folding origami.

 

Step 4: Fold In The Flaps

Next, fold in flaps inward towards the center. Again, making sure all folds are tight and crisp, taping down after every fold. When the flaps meet in the middle they should form a triangle. Fold triangle up towards the top of your box.

 

Step 5: Lay Triangle Flat And Fold

After creating your seam fold, lay triangle flat and fold the top of triangle inward to meet the base of your gift box, then tape closed. Repeat on both sides of your gift box.

 

Step 6: Add A Sheer Decorative Paper

Now you have a perfectly wrapped gift, let’s add some more details to make this gift box a work of art! Measure the length on your box and cut a strip of paper leaving a 1 and 1/2 border in your gift box. Tape down one side of your sheer decorative paper to the bottom of your gift box, facing the side with folded edges. Wrap paper around package tightly and tape off the end on the bottom of your gift package.

 

Step 7: Wrap The Box With A Ribbon

Next, flip box over so the top is facing you. Take a generous amount of ribbon and wrap over box over your sheer decorative paper. Tie a simple knot and don’t trim off extra ribbon just yet!

 

Step 8: Trim Glitter Leaves

Trim glitter leaves and arrange the leaves however you wish on top of the package. Once satisfied with the placement, weave the ribbon through the leaves to secure it in place.

 

Step 9: Add A Unique Mini Tag

How To Wrap A Box With Wrapping Paper | Step 9: Add A Unique Mini Tag | Awesome Gift Wrapping Ideas | Gift Wrapping Tutorials

To top off our beautiful box, let’s add a unique mini tag. I took an original illustration and cut it into a circle. Don’t draw? You can use any image from a magazine or print out your favorite photo of you and the gift receiver. Next, we lined the edge with glitter glue and dusted loose glitter over. Shake excess and poke a small hole near the top of the circle (we used a sewing needle) and thread card through glitter ribbon and finish off the look with a bow. Now you have a one of a kind present sure to be a showstopper!

Now it is time to get started! Grab your ruler and let’s figure out how big your bag is so we can cut our patterned paper to attach to it. My bag is 8.5 x 5.25. Measure your paper to be slightly smaller than your bag. I measured mine at 5 x 8. Once measured, cut to size.

 

Step 2: Attach A Pretty Pattern Paper

The 3-D Paper Present Bag | Step 2: Attach A Pretty Pattern Paper | Awesome Gift Wrapping Ideas | Gift Wrapping Tutorials

Time to attach a pretty pattern paper to our brown bag. Use double-sided tape on the back side of your paper, along with all sides. Then center your paper on the bag and press it down firmly.

 

Step 3: Create The 3-D Element

On my trip to the dollar store, I found drink decorations with 3-D paper elements. I want to use this 3-D paper as the centerpiece for our paper bag. Carefully remove the 3-D element from your cardboard decoration. Once removed, add double-sided tape to half of the back side of the element and attach to center of the pattern paper on your bag.

 

Step 4: Attach The 3-D Decor
