Growing up, gift-wrapping was a thing we did as an afterthought. Cellophane paper and a ten-second wrap by the shopkeeper - that was all the thought we put behind it. In the age of finding beautiful things on the Internet, we found a whole new world where gift wrapping is much more. We decided to share some of our favourite channels. Consider it our gift to you!
One our favourites is the tiny envelopes in which people often put âThank You' notes. They're a nice way to tell someone how much we appreciate all the love they have shown us. The channel @ISsaki shows you how to make these envelopes with pockets for sweets. Putting so much effort means more than the gift itself.
@qidaoyugift uses different textures of papers. The channel also has a tutorial named "Gift Wrapping Ideas | How to Wrap A Gift + Origami Rose Tutorial". The small flowers look intimidating at first, but give it a few tries and you will be a pro.
The channel @GiftWrappingLove tells you how to make pleats from paper and minimise the use of tape that often ruins the gift paper or makes it look like rushed job. One of their most famous videos titled "3 Ways to Wrap a Gift with Pleats" is our go-to when we want the wrapping to go beyond the usual. The simple trick is to add a ribbon around the box that can hold in dry leaves or other decoratives. You could even add something specific to the gift receiver, for example, a figurine of their favourite anime character.
Sometimes small gifts - like earrings and trinkets - do not have a box that they can be gifted in. Even if they do, we like to put our special touch on these gifts which is why we love the mini triangle box. You can check out what we mean on the YouTube channel @Eviella_creations, to get cute DIY boxes made out of wrapping paper.
This one's for when you run out of wrapping paper, as one often does. Instead of stressing, here's how you can make do with what you have. While they have a few videos on that, @areumdeuri has one video titled "What if the wrapping paper is small?" that we really love. A few designs tell you just what to do and how you need not panic.
