Make A Gift Bag Out Of Wrapping Paper
@lenniamc How to wrap an oddly shaped gift #wrappingpresents #giftwrapping #lifehackstiktok
There are tons of gifts that we just jam into boxes because we don't know how else to wrap them, but next time you're in that situation, consider making your own gift bag instead of trying to figure out how to wrap it.
Braid Your Paper
@casitaideas Day 1 🤩 #MacysGiftTok #giftwrapidea #holidayhome #christmashome #giftwrappinghack #wrappingpresents #wrappingpaper
You don't need any extra paper to create this look, all you have to do is fold the paper up the front instead of at the sides. Once you have the braided effect, just stick some festive trinkets into the folds for some extra gifts!
Seal And Stamp Your Gift
