CANDLE

Materials:
Wrapping paper
Scissors
Tape

Steps:
1. Place the candle on its side and wrap the paper around it, with the design facing outside. Be sure there is an even amount of extra paper at the ends of the candle.
2. Add double-sided tape to connect the two edges of the paper around the candle.
3. Keeping the candle on its side, start fan-folding the bottom side of the candle.
4. Start by bending in one small triangle of a fold toward the center.
5. Add double-sided tape to make the initial fold stick.
6. Using your finger on one hand to hold the first fold flat and as a measuring guide, start folding down the next fan-fold evenly over the first.
7. Repeat the last step with each fold around the circle. Each fold should be the same size since your same finger will be the measuring guide.
8. When the bottom side is completely folded, stand the candle upright and repeat steps 4-7 on the other side.
9. Feel free to add an accent sticker to the middle of the folds in whatever design you prefer.

SPORTS BALLS

Materials:
Wrapping paper
Double-sided tape
Scissors

Steps:
1. Cut a square to the size of your gift.
2. Fold the right and left sides of the wrapping paper. Tape them together.
3. Fold the bottom part up.
4. Separate the two sides at the fold and flatten out the corners. This makes a diamond shape.
5. Fold the top and bottom corners inward to the middle of the diamond. Tape them together.
6. You’ve now created the bottom of the bag. Open it up, and place tissue paper and your item inside the bag.
7. Attach a gift tag and a cute way of closing the bag. We used giant colored fasteners from Michael’s.

BOTTLES

SOCKS

Materials:
Grocery bags

Twine
Gift tag

Steps:
1. Measure the height and width of the bundle of socks.
2. Cut the grocery bag paper 2.5 in longer than the socks dimensions on every side.
3. Wrap the socks with the grocery paper. It will have a sturdiness around the socks.
4. Cut the newspaper by one of its columns, and wrap it around the grocery bag like a ribbon.
5. Tape the newspaper cut-out together with double-sided tape, making sure not to see the tape.
6. Tie twine around the newspaper “ribbon” and your vintage gift tag, connecting the two pieces.
7. Using paper to recycle, you have designed your own vintage “delivery” look to your present!

Please put cats in all of your videos. I love wrapping tips, but the cat was the best part of this video.

You wanna know how to wrap oddly shaped gifts? This is how you wrap oddly shaped gifts...

Well, that really was a waste of time....as many of these videos are. I would have enjoyed this more, had they shown how to wrap the cat. I always have trouble wrapping cats.

Just go to the dollar store. They have bags from small to large. And throw some colorful tissue paper on top to make it look fancy. They even have bags specifically for bottles of wine. It's cheap and quick :p

What's wrong with Merry Christmas instead of happy holidays? Oh that's right we don't want to offend people from other countries!

I was expecting a more odd shaped gifts like a bike or anything extra large! these examples are not so odd at all & the way they wrap is so obvious , these are what most of us wrap these things already, you just added flare on it, come on, you can do better than that!!..The cat was cute though!

I'd be mad if I opened such an invitingly visual gift only to find socks. Just hand those to me on a Monday in a Walmart bag. Thanks 😉

"How to wrap gifts when you're NOT on a budget"... fabrics, fancy ribbons, garland, clips, mini chalkboard... really? Cute but I don't want to spend a small fortune on wrapping that will get tossed.
