christmas wrapping! part 1

hi everyone,

so i know my last post was reallllyyyy long, but i thought you might like to know what i did for Christmas, because everybody's story is different and i love to know what people do for Christmas  or whatever religion you support around Christmas!

so anyway back to today's post, today is going to about present wrapping, ive talked to a few on twitter that have no idea how to wrap, so i thought it would be a fun idea to show you how i do it, obviously you dont have to do it this way :D

so first off you need wrapping paper, some celetope and some scissors. You also need a large space to work on, i recommend the floor, and if you get stressed easierly a good alcoholic drink!

 ok, so next choose your present you want to wrap, i started off with the easy, cube or square shaped one, its the easiest out of them all, and most presents come in boxes now (thankgod)

so if your roll is long, decided on how many presents you can fit on the roll, and chop it down the middle

leave enough room each side, we can chop it off later (this is the new kylie CD for my dad)

so you need to fold the paper over to cover the pressie and if its too long chop abit off it, the best tip i can give you is dont use to much paper, cut it down wherever you can, it'll be alot easier to work with.

 then we fold one side over the CD, the the other side we fold alittle rim, so that you have a straight line, sometimes you wont cut the paper straight, so this is a fail safe way that it'll be nice and straight.

the celetope the paper over the other section, and you have a nice neat line!

next, because the paper is way to long, you want to cut off most of this, you want it so that when you push it down over the side you can still see the present alittle.

then you fold down the top section, then the corners you want to bring inwards to the present, so it makes to triangle shapes, then the bottom piece you can lift up

and hopefully you will have a fold like this!

do that on both sides, and you should get a pressies that looks like this, then just add a tag and write who its too, don't leave it till you've wrapped all your pressies, you will forget who's is who's.

my mister bunnykins (harry) loves wrapping too, he threw the paper at one point, it was quite funny)

im gonna spilt this into 2 posts, because otherwise itll get too long, next one will be up abit later :D
