Instructions for Wrapping a Present

Tools:

• Gift

• Wrapping Paper

• Scissors

• Tape

• Name Tags

• Inc Pen

• Bows (optional)

• Box

• Box Insert Paper (optional)

Once you are certain that the paper is long and wide enough, cut the amount needed and place the gift box in the center, again making sure that you have enough to cover the entire box.

Next, you will wrap the box one side at a time. Pick up either side of your choice and place it over the full length and width of the box. Press firmly with one hand and tear off a piece of tape with the other. You may want to use your elbow for assistance if the tape is difficult to tear. Place the tape over the wrapping paper so that it touches the edge of the box. You will complete this process across all four sides of the box until it is fully covered.

If you want the wrapping to be exceptionally nice you may want to add a bow or two in the center, or on either corner of the box.

Please use the pen to clearly right out the name of the gift recipient and tape it to the box where it...
