How to Wrap a Gift: Gift Wrapping Tutorial
The first thing you'll need to do is gather your supplies. Here is what I used:
  • Wrapping Paper
  • Gift in a Box
  • Tape
  • Ribbon
  • Tag
  • (Also any embellishments you want to add!)
Gift Wrapping Supplies
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut your paper to size, making sure it will wrap completely around the gift, and will overlap just a little bit.  The sides of the paper should go at least halfway up the sides of the box. 
Gift Wrapping Tutorial
Fold the paper (lengthwise) completely around the gift, and secure with tape.
How to Wrap a Gift
Keep the taped side (seam) facing upward. Fold down the paper on the side of the gift, as shown below, creasing the sides of the paper downward. 
Gift Wrapping Instructions
Now fold each side of the paper inward, as shown below. The remaining flap of paper that is on your working surface should form a triangular point.
DIY Gift Wrapping
Fold the triangle upward and secure with tape.

Repeat on the other side, then turn the gift over so the taped seam is on the bottom.
Gift Wrapping Made Easy
Unroll some ribbon from a spool of ribbon, wrapping it around the present and leaving an extra length of ribbon for tying a bow later.  Hold the tail (loose end) of the ribbon and twist the other length of ribbon (attached to spool) to cross over at a 90 degree angle, as shown below.

Then bring the turned ribbon around the underside of the gift. (Gift is now turned in photo.)

The spool end of ribbon should now cross over the loose end on top of the gift.
How to make gifts look nice!
Circle the loose end of ribbon under the spool end which you just brought up from the underside. This just twists all sections of ribbon together where it meets in the middle on top of the gift.
