Boxes are probably the easiest things to wrap, so if you’re giving an awkwardly shaped gift, putting it in a box first is the easiest solution. The hard edges allow you to create a tidy and professional-look.
Step 1: Place the box face down on the paper, and pull up the short side and secure it with a piece of tape.
Step 2: Fold the other side in about an inch.
Step 3: Secure the folded side to the paper that you already secured down.
Step 4: Turn the present right way up and fold down the overhanging paper against the side of the box that remains exposed.
Step 5: Press in two side folds, smoothing the edges to give a clean finish. Next fold the bottom flap up to cover all the edges creating an envelope effect.
Step 6: Secure with tape. Turn over and repeat the process for the other side.
I used to struggle with odd shaped gifts until I started to buy boxes – as you say a much neater look. I like your tartan gift wrap too.http://missbbobochic.blogspot.co.uk/
