How to Wrap Christmas Gifts

Hello! I am Marie. Christmas is approaching and so I am going to show you how to make your gift that are actually a bit more special and look fantastic underneath the tree. To wrap your gift, you'll need two rolls of wrapping paper, one plain one flattened, a sellotape, pencil, craft knife, pair of scissors and festive shape template.

Start by cutting two sheets of your wrapping paper to the same size. Then take your flattened wrapping paper and wrap your gift. Place your gift centrally on the plain sheet paper. Once you got to this positioning, take a pencil, just mark all the way around the other sides, once you done that, remove your gift and place it to the side.

Now take this template, we have got our lucky festive Christmas tree here. Place it centrally between the line that you've just drawn. Take pencil, draw around just one half of the template, now it's important that you need one half that would come out, the inside shape. That helps you let you fold your template in half. Remove your template, then folding that we just draw, we have just been cutting it out using the craft knife. The template I am using here is today was downloaded from the website. Once you done that we are ready to wrap our present.

So taking the gift, wrapped earlier, we want it again to be placed centrally on the plain sheet paper, and then using the guidelines that we drew before. We are now ready to wrap the present. Now for the purposes of this demonstration just to save time, here's the one wrapped earlier.

Now what we need to do is just scroll the knife so the other side gets folded. What you do is take you craft knife, just slightly scroll up, like so. Then just wrap through our Christmas tree message on. We fold it up and there you have a very stylishly wrapped pattern ready to go underneath you Christmas tree.
