Wrap the Box

Place the present back on the wrapping paper.

Ensure you orient the present so that it is centered on the wrapping paper. The folded edge from Step 5 should be to the right of the box.

Bring the wrapping paper across the right side of the present until it meets the center of the box.

Use a single piece of tape to secure the wrapping paper.

Similar to Step 5, polish the left edge of the wrapping paper.

Fold over the edge of the left side of the paper about half an inch. Smooth down the fold with your fingers.

Take the just folded edge and fold it over the left side of the present.

Pull the paper tight so the present is snug.

Don't pull too hard or the paper may rip!

Use a single piece of tape to secure the wrapping paper.

On the bottom and top of present—where the box is still exposed—you'll make several folds.

In the first photo, we completed the left side, but allowed the right side to remain unfolded for your comparison.

Use two fingers to push in the u-shaped edge of the wrapping paper.

Once the paper touches the box, fold down both the bottom and top of the wrapping paper. They should look like triangular wings.

All corners of the bottom section of the wrapping paper should be creased.

Fold down the top flap of the wrapping paper and make a crease.

Take the bottom flap and make a small fold, about a quarter of an inch.

While holding the top fold down, bring the bottom fold up.

Use a single piece of tape to secure this two-sided fold.

Repeat Steps 12-14 for the other exposed side of the present.

The last photo in this step shows the wrapped present facing upward.
