How to Wrap like a Pro

1. Place the gift facedown on top of the wrapping paper..  Don't cut the paper first.  You want to be able to measure it. Cut the paper on one of the sides and be sure there is enough to cover the gift. 

2. Stand on the side of the table that has the roll and pull it tight to cover the box.  Take a slice of tape and tape your edge to the box.

Join Ends

Step 3: Unroll the paper and bring the edge to the end you have just wrapped. Now Cut  the paper off from roll, leaving enough for an overage to fold over.  Tape that side up.

Step 4: 

Close up the side by pulling the top part down and make little triangles with each side and tape them. Pull the top side down and tape it up.

Step 5: Use a self adhesive bow on top to finish it off.
