First you need to measure the height of the box, then cut off a large strip from the packaging material (it must be 3-4 cm higher than the box itself). Glue the container around with this strip. Then make a circle for the bottom (glue it so that it would completely hide the tucked allowance). Cut the lid a little larger than its actual size and glue it, with an allowance on the sides.

Step-by-step instructions for wrapping a gift in gift paper

Check out three detailed step-by-step instructions on how to properly and beautifully wrap a gift, and then you will definitely do it!

Standard box packaging

Everyone can beautifully pack a gift in gift paper if you use the proposed step-by-step instructions.

For packing you need to prepare:

• beautiful ribbon;
• wrapping paper;
• scissors;
• double sided tape.

If wrapping a presentation is done for the first time, you should first practice on a newspaper or unnecessary sheets. This will allow you to adapt to work and avoid mistakes when the gift itself is issued directly.

1. Beautiful gift paper is taken as the basis. You will need to cut the right amount of material. Then lay it upside down. It has a gift box on it. Its bottom should look up.
   
2. Next, you need to wrap the box with the gift from the far side. To attach gift paper, you need to cut off a piece of double-sided tape. Then, over the gift, the material is thoroughly stretched so that there are no folds and “waves”.
   
3. Now you need to thoroughly close the seam so that the wrong side of the wrapping paper is not visible in the gap. For this, the edge is bent. The width of the fold should vary from 0.5 to 1 cm. Then the material is well stretched and fixed with pieces of adhesive tape.
   
4. Next, you need to mask the sides of the gift. It is most convenient to fold the wrapping paper along the top edge of the box. That is why it is recommended to start from the top. First of all, you need to wrap the material along the height of the box. Gift paper is tucked inward so that sharp corners of about 45 degrees are formed. The resulting strips must be glued to the box body. The same steps must be repeated on the opposite side.
   
5. This is the basis of the packaging.
   
6. When packing a presentation in paper with your own hands, you can use a visual diagram. Such step-by-step instruction will help those who decide to pack a gift in paper for the first time.
   
7. Now you need to decorate the package. To make everything beautiful, you need to take the tape as a basis. Its length should be about 5 times the longest side of the gift. Lay the box upside down in the middle of the tape. The right end of the tape should be placed over the left edge. Decor needs to be tightened up.
   
8. The box is then turned over. Both edges of the tape must be slipped under the strip, which is already well stretched.
   
9. Then you need to tie a bow and gently straighten it.
   
10. With the help of scissors, you need to trim the free sides of the ribbon.
    
11. That's all! A gift wrapped in bright and stylish gift paper is ready!

Round box packing

It is quite difficult to wrap round-shaped gifts beautifully and neatly. However, this problem can be solved quickly and creatively. The attractiveness of the method proposed below lies in the fact that such decoration of a souvenir involves the use of a minimum amount of paper and the almost complete rejection of additional decor. This packaging option is self-sufficient in its simplicity and conciseness.

To design a round gift, you will need to prepare glue gun, paper with a bright pattern, a cardboard circle, scissors, ribbon or twine, a stapler.

1. Getting started, first you need to measure the diameter and height of the box. In accordance with the dimensions obtained, you need to cut a rectangle out of gift paper. The height of this part should be the figure obtained from the height of the box, which has been multiplied by 1.5. The length of the figure is equal to the diameter of the souvenir. The resulting rectangle should be cut into strips. Their width should not exceed 3 cm.
   
2. In all the resulting strips you need to make a small hole. It is performed on the narrow side with a hole punch. The other edge is fixed to the cardboard circle so that a voluminous fan is obtained from all the cut blanks. Then you need to wait a bit for the glue to dry.
   
3. Put a souvenir in the center of the resulting design. Cut out a ribbon or piece of twine. Pass the material through the holes on all strips. To make it convenient, you should alternately wrap the workpieces to the center of the circle. The twine (tape) must be tightened quite strongly.
   
4. When all the stripes are gathered together, the ribbon (twine) must be tied into a knot. This will fix the structure and prevent it from "spreading". The excess amount of material should be cut off, and the workpiece itself is fixed on a knot, which is best masked with a bow. It can be formed from the remnants of the tape.
   
5. That's all! Round gift wrapping is ready.

Big gift wrapping

If the gift is large enough and bulky, this is not at all a reason to give it in an unsightly way. Such a present can also be stylishly and beautifully decorated using gift paper.

1. Before you pack a present, you will need to measure the required amount of gift paper.
   
2. The gift box is placed on the reverse side of the packaging material. On top of the box, a strip of double-sided tape should be fixed along the entire length, after which the protective film is removed from it.
   
3. Now the short edge of the gift paper needs to be folded onto the package. At the location of the adhesive tape, it must be smoothed, and the fold lines should be pressed with your hands.
   
4. Next, the opposite edge of the paper is wrapped by 2 cm and fixed along the fold line with adhesive tape, from which the protective film is removed.
   
5. Paper is tightly stretched around the souvenir, and its edges are folded onto the lid of a large box and glued.
   
6. It is necessary to close the sides of the presentation. Previously, the material is bent from above, and the resulting inversions are ironed by hand. The corners are fixed with tape or glue.
   
7. The corners of the gift wrap are fixed alternately.
   
8. The sides of the resulting triangle are drawn from the inside with double-sided tape.
   
9. The resulting workpiece is pressed tightly against the base of the box, after which all the same actions are repeated from the opposite side.
   
10. It remains only to decorate the gift with a bow and special ribbons.
