Step-by-step

Step 1

Measure out your paper, making sure you leave an extra 5 cm along the top edge. Wrap the paper around your gift…

Step 2

… and seal up the paper at the bottom.

Step 3

Taking the open end of your gift, make vertical cuts in the paper (roughly 6-8 cuts) towards the top of your gift.

Step 4

Take a strip and bend one corner outwards.

Step 5

Repeat for all the strips.

Step 6

If you really want your gift to stand out, add a mini gift tag labelled using gloss paint markers in gold.

Step 7

Fold all the paper strips inwards to create a star shape. This will also completely cover the end of your gift. Add ribbon to your gift tag and attach it to your present.
