Christmas is just around the corner! Here are some recommended gift wrapping ideas.
Hello, I'm HushTug's guitarist.
It's finally just a little while until Christmas.
Have you decided on a gift for your loved one?
This time, we will introduce recommended wrapping methods for those who have decided to give a gift.
We will introduce wrapping paper and tips on how to wrap recommended for beginners, so if you're interested, please give it a try.
Kraft paper is recommended
If you are wrapping for the first time, it can be difficult to decide what wrapping paper and ribbon to choose.
For beginners, we recommend craft paper.
At first glance, kraft paper looks very plain, but even if it is slightly wrinkled or wrapped loosely, it does not look unnatural; rather, it brings out the natural feel of the kraft paper.
It is also recommended because it can be easily matched with ribbons of various colors such as brown, red, and black.
Using simple wrapping paper and adding some personality with a ribbon will make the gift look more stylish and beautiful, as if it had been wrapped in a store, so be sure to give it a try!
[If you keep these points in mind, you're good to go] Three key points for gift wrapping
The most important thing when wrapping a gift is that it looks nice .
As long as you know the key points, anyone can easily wrap gifts nicely, so be sure to pay attention to these points and make sure they look good!
Tip 1: Prepare wrapping paper that matches the size of the box
The size of the wrapping paper is the most important factor when making original wrapping.
We will introduce detailed wrapping methods later, but if you start wrapping without adjusting the size of the wrapping paper to fit the box, you will end up with not enough wrapping paper on one side of the box, or too much wrapping paper on the other side, and the wrapping will not come out neatly.
Before wrapping, be sure to check that the length is sufficient and then fold it.
Point 2: Secure the wrapping paper firmly so it doesn't slip.
Once you have confirmed the size of the wrapping paper, you can start wrapping.
It goes without saying that in order to wrap something nicely, if the wrapping paper is wrinkled or saggy, it will not look nice.
Once you have decided on the starting position, you can secure it with double-sided tape to prevent it from slipping, which is a recommended method for those who are not used to it.
Tip 3: Fold the parts where the cross section is visible 1cm inward
If you cut the wrapping paper to fit the size of the box, it may become fuzzy, depending on the wrapping paper used.
If the cut edge of the paper is frayed, the wrapping will not look nice, so fold it inward by about 1cm to hide the cut edge and make it look neat.
Therefore, when cutting the paper to fit the size, be sure to leave about 1cm of space!
Introducing 4 wrapping methods
Now that you know the key points for wrapping gifts nicely, let's move on to the specific wrapping methods.
Many people have made videos explaining easy-to-understand gift wrapping methods, so we've picked out some recommended methods that you can easily follow and hope you'll find them useful.

The recommended wrapping method for wrapping a square box is the square wrap.
This method of wrapping makes the gift look prettier since there is no overlapping wrapping paper on the sides.
Compared to the caramel wrap, there are many more folds and it is a little more complicated.

Diagonal wrapping is also known as rotation wrapping or department store wrapping, and is a wrapping method often used for wrapping formal gifts.
This wrapping method is for advanced users as it can be difficult to get the starting position right, and depends on the wrapping paper, but it is a way of wrapping that gives a luxurious feel.
This is recommended for those who want to create a luxurious look, so please give it a try!

This is a wrapping method used when wrapping cylindrical boxes.
Tying a ribbon on the top of the box will make it look more like a gift and make it look fancier.
Also, the wrapping method shown in the video involves tying the top with a ribbon, but you can also create a more sophisticated look by securing it with tape, just like the bottom.
Try adjusting the way you wrap it to suit the atmosphere in which you are giving it!
