Gift wrapping in style for clumsy wrappers
Here comes the festive Christmas Season and with it the job of buying gifts for everyone. And the worst is yet to come: wrapping them. The queen of wrapping -who else- is Martha Stewart. You try to imitate her but your gift ends up looking like the work of your 6 year old. Wrapping a gift is tricky, especially if the item is an irregular shape. To avoid the problem, the rule number one is to put every thing in a box. If there a box for it, buy it. Another rule? Do not listen to the ones who tell you to make your own wrapping paper with rubber stamps and other instruments. If you take into the account the materials and the time spent, it is not worth it. Buy wrapping paper in bulk or ready to make kits and enjoy the free time of the holidays relaxing if you have that luxury. Even the most modest gift looks expansive with a beautiful wrap but do not overheat about it. We must find the balance between presenting a well wrapped gift and the stress of wrapping like Martha Stewart. SEE ALSO: Rosario Dawsons Top Five Christmas traditions Costco has pretty and affordable kits that come with several rolls of coordinated gift paper wraps, bows and ribbons. Add that to the gift in a box and everybody will be happy ever after. If you do not have boxes for an irregular shaped present, be creative. For example, a small gift like a perfume bottle, can be wrapped in bubble wrap. For soft items like sweaters and scarves, place the item on top of a cardboard cut to size. Other trick is to put the gift in a bag, surrounded by colorful tissue paper. If you want to take it to the next level it is up to you. Going the extra mile in wrapping a gift for that someone special can make a difference. If you are not Martha Stewart, you still can do it using fancy cuts on the edge of the wrapping paper and using fabric ribbon, decorative tape or oversize bows that will conceal your lame wrapping skills.
