Step-by-step

Step 1

Measure out your gift wrap. The size of your wrapping paper should be roughly twice the width of your gift. Fold the shorter edges of your paper over towards the middle of your present. You don’t have to cover your present completely. Fold each outer corner of the longer edges of the paper into the middle, as shown in the photo.

Step 2

You have now formed a triangle. Fold this over your present and tape it down. Repeat for all four corners.

Step 3

You’ll now be left with triangles, two on the left and two on the right. Fold these into the middle and secure them. Your gift wrap will now consist of several paper layers.

Step 4

Decorate the sheet of card using a gloss paint marker and slide it into the space under the fastened triangles. To round things off, add a shiny heart in radiant gold in the centre of your wrapping paper.
