The New Year and Christmas holidays are an excellent occasion not only to celebrate and spend these days with loved ones, but also to pamper them with cute gifts, carefully packaged in colorful wrapping paper.
But sometimes it happens that when we purchase small gifts for our loved ones, but filled with deep meaning, we doubt for a long time about the correct choice of holiday packaging, postponing the matter. But there are many pleasant, and most importantly, quick ways to decorate small gifts, and today’s article will tell you about some of them in more detail.
We present to your attention 5 interesting ways to wrap small gifts.
ADVICE: Before you begin the task, make sure you choose quality paper. So, in no case should it be wrinkled or worn, with a flashy, inappropriate design. It will be better and much more attractive if you choose plain paper of a bright color, golden or with a silver shimmer. Remember: if the gift chosen is small, there is no need to compensate for its size with a clumsy, awkward design.
Candy style
In general, a gift packaged in this way can be presented to both a child and an adult, if you choose a certain color and pattern of paper. In any case, your gift will evoke extremely positive emotions in the person who receives such “candy.”
So, if you still haven't decided how to pack a small box of eau de toilette, gourmet chocolate or jewelry, try this method.
You will need:
- Paper for packaging, measuring 30 x 30 cm or more (depending on the size of the gift);
- Directly the box with the gift;
- Scissors;
- Double-sided tape;
- Paper tapes
Step 1:
Place the box on the inside of the wrapping paper in the middle. There should be enough of it to freely wrap the gift and, at the same time, there should be a small margin on the sides.
Step 2:
Pull one side of the paper lightly as you lay it over the top of the box. Secure with tape.
Step 3:
Do the same with the other side of the paper, placing it on top of the first and securing the result with double-sided tape.
Step 4:
Carefully fold the folds of paper inward along the edges of the box (if you do this too quickly, the paper may tear).
Step 5:
Tie the resulting “tails” with ribbons at the very edge of the box. Form knots and then neat bows. Trim off any excess paper and tape.

The New Year should be celebrated with fresh ideas, so our articles will tell you about many of them. Let's be original together!
The easiest way to pack a gift is to wrap the finished box in wrapping paper. After all, very often the things we buy as gifts are already in a cardboard box. In this master class we will tell you how to pack a box in gift paper. In fact, there is nothing difficult about this, you just need to know how to correctly calculate the dimensions of the packaging paper and how to properly wrap the box in paper.
What will you need to pack the box?
- wrapping paper;
- decorative ribbons, cords;
- scissors;
- measuring tape;
- double-sided tape (try to buy double-sided tape, since pieces of ordinary tape are very noticeable and will need to be carefully masked).
How to determine the right amount of paper for packaging
In order to pack a rectangular or square box, we need to cut a rectangle out of wrapping paper, respectively. To determine the width of the rectangle, take a measuring tape and measure all four sides of the box around the perimeter (a full turn), and add 2-3 cm for the hem. And the length of the rectangle is one length of the box + two heights of the box.
A little advice
If you are packing for the first time, do it on regular newspaper first. See if you have determined the dimensions correctly, where the tape should be placed, how the folds look, etc.
How to pack a box. Basic steps.
Step one. Place the gift box in the center of the rectangle of paper. Bend the left or right vertical edge by 0.5-1 cm, glue a strip of double-sided tape to the fold.
Step two. Wrap the box tightly with paper as shown in the photo. Then remove the protective layer from the tape and glue the folded edge of the paper.
Step three. Check that the protruding edges of the paper at the ends of the box are the same. Then bend the top of the paper as shown in the photo and press it tightly against the end of the box.
Step four. Fold and press the sides of the paper tightly.
Step five. First bend the bottom part and press it tightly against the end of the box. Then bend it back and bend it approximately in the middle. Place a strip of tape on it and glue this part to the end. Do the same on the other side of the box.
How to decorate a box wrapped in paper
1st option. Cut a small strip of paper of a different color, wrap it around the box, and tape the ends together. Tie with decorative cord.
2nd option. If the wrapping paper is double-sided, then you can leave a larger allowance in width and use this for decoration.
3rd option. You can use several ribbons of different colors and textures.
Many people love to give and receive gifts. But it’s doubly nice when the gift is beautifully wrapped. You can make holiday packaging with your own hands, for example, you can take the idea from the master classes offered here with step-by-step photos, as well as videos from YouTube. Prepare gift paper, ribbon and follow the selected instructions on how to properly wrap a gift.
Classic packaging
In this way, you can wrap an ordinary box in beautiful paper, and then add an eye-catching decorative element from the same packaging material. Now we have a New Year's gift, so the design is appropriate, but this decor option is suitable for any holiday.
- wrapping paper;
- scissors;
- transparent tape;
- golden ribbon;
- glue.
This method is convenient for packing a gift that initially has a box with smooth edges. Therefore, at the first stage we pack as usual. To do this, cut off the required piece of wrapping paper.
We keep transparent tape on hand, we will need it at this stage. First, we wrap our gift on one side with wrapping paper and secure it in two places with transparent tape.
After this, we will close the end sides of our gift. To do this, first carefully bend one side down, following the contours of the box, as shown in the photo:
We form a triangle from the remaining part of the wrapping paper, folding the corners on the sides.
Now we bend the top of this triangle, after which we bend it to the end of the package. We take transparent tape and fix it well with it.
We repeat these steps from the other end of our box.
The decorative element of our packaging will be a fan made of the same paper. Therefore, we prepare a piece of wrapping paper to create it. It all depends on how we position this fan. We decided to position it along the width of the box. Therefore, we cut out the paper of the appropriate size.
Now we fold it like an accordion.
We bend this “accordion” in half.
We glue it in the middle, and make the edges of the resulting “accordion” semicircular using scissors. At the same time, we make sure that the overall size of the fan matches the width of our box.
The decorative element is ready, let's proceed to the final stage of packaging. Take a golden ribbon and tie it around the box.
We form a bow.
Now immediately behind the bow we fix the fan with glue.
Our gift wrapping is ready.

Packaging with folds
In this master class we will demonstrate one of the gift wrapping options. At first glance, it does not differ from the usual one, but at the same time it has one twist.
To create such packaging we prepared:
- wrapping paper;
- scissors;
- transparent tape;
- thin double-sided tape;
- golden ribbon.
First, prepare a sheet of paper of the required size. In this case, you should focus on regular packaging, but make an increase of approximately 50% in the direction in which the folds will form. We lay the sheet pattern down and make the first small fold.
Then we will make blanks for future folds. To do this, fold the paper 2.5 cm.
And we repeat this 4 more times. In total, in this case we will have blanks for five folds. If desired, they can be made larger or smaller. You can also vary the width of the folds.
Unfold the packing slip face up. We see 5 fold lines.
Focusing on them, we will form folds. Carefully grab the first fold at the edge and in its place form a shallow (about 1 cm) fold.
Now they need to be secured. To do this, turn the sheet over to the wrong side, where we secure the folds in several places with transparent tape.
Then we carefully begin to fold the end sides of the package.
Using transparent tape, secure one corner.
Then we bend the second corner with folds.
Using the same principle, we secure the other end of the package.
Now all that remains is to tie the gift with a ribbon.
We fasten it diagonally and tie the ends with a bow. Our gift is ready to be presented.
However, the paper for packaging can be the most ordinary, plain, but by wrapping your gift box in it, you can decorate it to your taste. See examples in this video on how to decorate a gift in style:

How to make a packaging bag out of paper
In this master class we will show a packaging option when the gift does not have a clear shape. For example, you need to pack something small beautifully, then check out this option for creating a bag using the origami technique.
To make such a packaging bag we took:
- square sheet of paper;
- scissors;
- hole punch;
- golden braid.
In our case, we use a small square of paper 21 x 21 cm, but such a bag can be made from wrapping paper of any size. First, fold the prepared square sheet in half.
Then you need to perform diagonal addition.
After this, fold the square along the other diagonal.
The resulting folds on our workpiece allow it to be folded in the form of a double triangle.
Now we will begin to form our packaging bag itself. To do this, place the triangle with the base up, take the right corner of the top layer and bend it to the left as follows.
Then we bend it back, aligning the right side.
We do the same with the left corner of the top layer; it needs to be bent to the right.
Then we bend it in the opposite direction, not forgetting to align the left edge.
We bend the upper corners inward.
We turn the packaging over and do the same with the right and left corners.
We tuck the upper protruding corners inward.
Now let's form the bottom of our packaging bag. To do this, bend the bottom corner up.
After this, carefully form the bottom, which should be square.
We should have such a blank for packaging.
We thread golden braid through these holes.
Don’t forget to remove the gift first and then tie the ribbon with a bow.
Our paper packaging bag is ready.
