I love wrapping presents! Boxes are wrapped more often than any other shapes, so you may be wrapping like this for the rest of your life! – Abbie

Abbie is very serious when she says she loves wrapping… birthdays and Christmas have become much simpler for me. Now I just hand her the presents and some wrapping paper and away she goes! Today we are sharing the very basic steps for wrapping. We’ll have some fun and unusual ways to spruce up gifts coming in the future. – Mrs. Brown

Measuring

First set the box down in one corner of the wrapping paper, a little way from each side.

Roll the box to one side, flipping it three times.

Next roll the box in the other direction, flipping it three times.

Cut from the edge of the wrapping paper to outside of the final resting place of the box.

Wrapping

Center the box on your paper, wrong side up.

Pull the two long sides up around the box tightly, and tape them in place.

Make triangles on one side by pushing the top of the paper down smoothly against the box and creasing it along the edge of the box.

Next crease the sides.

Fold your right side-triangle into the box smoothly and crease the bottom against the table, repeat for left side-triangle.

You will now have a triangle lying on the table. Fold that up and tape it down.

Repeat for the other side of the box and you are finished!
