Choose a wrapping paper appropriate towards the gift recipient. Is the gift for a child's birthday? Your grandmother's birthday? Does the recipient have a preferred color? There are wrapping papers available to suit any gift recipient.

Choose coordinating ribbon, and either acquire a premade bow or generate your personal. See "How to Tie a Decorative Bow" in Related eHows for instructions. If you determine to produce your personal bow, acquire additional ribbon.

Gather your materialstwo and lay them out on a flat function surface. A kitchen or dining room table works most desirable, but make sure not to scratch the table's surface as soon as cutting the wrapping paper.

Use a string or a tape measure to determine the dimensions of your gift box. For a rectangular box, measure around the box as if you were measuring a waist. Add two inches to this dimension, and jot down this number.

Measure the length of your gift box. Measure the height of the box, multiply that number by 2 and add the complete to the length measurement. Write this number down.

Position package, best down, onto paper so that it is easy to bring lengthwise edges of the wrapping paper towards the middle of the box. Center the gift box.

Bring one lengthwise edge of wrapping paper to the center of the box. Secure with tape. Turn the opposite edge of paper below roughly 1 inch and bring this to the center of the box at the same time. The turned-below edge should overlap the initial taped edge.

Position box so that one short end is facing you. Grasp left and correct edges of wrapping paper and push the sides in to ensure that most desirable and bottom flaps are formed. Make positive that the edges are pushed in as far as they are going to go without ripping the paper. Secure pushed-in edges to box with tape. personalized gifts for him for birthday
