How to Perfectly Wrap a Present

Measure the Width of the Box

•  Place the wrapping paper face-down on the table and center your gift on it, bottom up.

•  Bring the paper around the sides of the box.

•  Mark the place where the paper overlaps itself by about an inch. Hold your finger on this spot or mark it with a pencil.

•  Slide the box over to the marked spot and use its edge as a guide to cut the paper in a straight line.
