What you'll learn

See how every step looks — photo, checklist, and pro tips included.

Measure, wrap, hospital corners
01Measure, wrap, hospital corners

Roll gift for length/width with ~2 in overlap. Cut. Seam on bottom or back. Fold ends like hospital corners — crisp triangles tucked under.

Burnish creases with a card edge.

Ribbon and tag finish
02Ribbon and tag finish

Double-sided tape on seam so nothing shiny shows. Ribbon cross or single band. Real bow or neat knot. Tag with name only — short.

You pass when it looks store-counter from 1 meter away.

Pro tip. Less paper = sharper. Bulky wraps read as rushed.
