How to Make an Original Gift Package
Follow these simple steps to create your own unique gift package:
Step 1: Choose your wrapping paper
Start by selecting a wrapping paper that matches the occasion or the person you’re giving the gift to. Get creative and think outside the box – a map, newspaper, or even plain brown kraft paper can make interesting choices.
Step 2: Measure and cut the paper
Unroll your wrapping paper and place the gift box in the center. Measure enough paper to cover the package with a little extra for overlapping. Cut the paper to size.
Step 3: Fold and secure the edges
Starting with one side, fold the wrapping paper neatly over the gift box. Secure it in place by taping or gluing the edges. Repeat this process for the remaining sides, ensuring the paper is smooth and taut.
Step 4: Add decorative elements
Now comes the fun part – adding decorative elements to enhance the visual appeal of your gift package. Consider adding a ribbon or twine around the box and tying a bow. You can also attach stickers, dried flowers, or other ornaments that complement the theme of the gift.
Step 5: Personalize with a handwritten note
Take a moment to write a heartfelt note for the recipient. Place it inside the gift package, adding a personalized touch that will make the gift even more special.
