Method 1: How to Wrap Clothes for Christmas Without a Box
Follow these steps to wrap clothes for Christmas without a box;
1. Gather Your Materials
The materials you will need to wrap a cloth for Christmas without a box include wrapping paper, a small wrap cutter, and tape.
2. Carefully Fold the Cloth
Carefully fold the cloth and ensure this is done neatly. Also, eliminate any creases as this will enable the cloth to be wrapped easily.
3. Take Measurements of the Wrap Paper
Unroll the wrap and position the cloth on it, ensuring there is sufficient paper to wrap over the cloth and completely envelop it.
Ensure there is additional paper at both the bottom and top sides of the cloth.
4. Trim the Paper
Once sufficient paper has been measured, proceed to trim the paper.
Utilize the cutter to achieve a precise cut at your specified measurement and push it upward for a simple, straight, and flawless cut.
5. Fold the Paper Over the Cloth's Top
Start by positioning the cloth in the middle of the wrapping paper. Raise the paper's right side and bend it over the stacked cloth.
Then, utilize tape to attach the wrap to the upper part of the clothing.
Apply the exact technique to the other side, by folding the wrapping paper over the clothing and fastening it with lots of tape.
Make use of several tape pieces to ensure the wrapping paper remains tight and secured to the cloth.
This will guarantee that it stays wrapped and nobody gets a glimpse before Christmas.
6. Fold the Paper Edges
It's now time to fold the paper edges. Select one side of the paper to begin the process.
Starting at the end of the cloth, create a fold along the edges of the wrap.
This will simplify the subsequent step even further.
7. Tuck the End to Form a Triangle
Bend the paper corners inward towards the middle of each side. Do this on each side to create a triangular shape.
It will resemble the method of constructing paper airplanes.
Bend the triangle across the surface of the cloth. Apply pressure on the paper's top to help it remain positioned.
8. Tape It
Utilize a tape to fasten the triangle to the cloth's top. Then follow the exact procedure on the opposite side.
This method is useful whenever you intend to wrap a cloth for Christmas but can't find the appropriate box size because you won't need to stress about finding a box.
Method 2: How to Wrap Clothes for Christmas With a Box
Follow these steps to wrap clothes for Christmas with a box;
1. Fold the Cloth and Put It Inside a Box
Using a garment box is a simple method of wrapping a cloth for Christmas.
Place two tissue paper sheets at the box's bottom, then carefully fold the cloth and position it at the top of these sheets of tissue paper.
If you wish, you may put an additional tissue paper on top of the cloth, then cover the box with its lid and secure it using tape.
This tape will assist in preventing the garment box from opening while you are wrapping it.
2. Place the Box Upside Down on Your Gift Wrap
Position the box downwards on the unprinted side of a roll of wrapping paper, ensuring the box's widest sides are directed towards you.
Next, use scissors to snip the right amount of wrap. Keep in mind that it's always preferable to trim the wrap larger than necessary.
You can remove any extra later, but if you make it very short, you can't add more back.
3. Start Wrapping the Box
Lift the far edge of the wrapping paper and drape it over the garment box, then secure it with tape.
Extend your arm over the garment box and take hold of the paper edge that is farthest from you.
Stretch the paper edge completely over the upper part of the gift garment box, leaving a 2.5 cm paper flap hanging over the edge that is nearest to you.
Securely tape the flap down, ideally using double tape.
To achieve tidy, crisp edges, remember to press the flap against the edge of the box with your thumb and index finger prior to applying the tape.
Lift the paper's front to that edge that you just secured with tape
Next, lift the front section of the wrap, or the side nearest to you, to conceal the box's front face.
Bend the paper at the points where it overlaps the sides of the garment box.
Avoid applying too much pressure, as you don't want the garment box to break through the wrapping paper.
Then, utilize scissors to cut any additional paper, but ensure to leave approximately 1 cm of extra paper to fully cover the box edges.
You won’t notice this additional paper once you’re done, so don’t be concerned if the cut isn’t entirely straight.
4. Fold the Additional Wrap and Secure It With Tape
With the box's edge as a reference, fold the surplus wrap in half horizontally, then press your finger to create a crease along the entire fold.
Drag the paper tight against the garment box, then apply tape on the fold's edge to secure the paper.
Folding the wrapping paper produces a clean edge that appears more attractive than merely cutting it down to size.
5. Do the Same on the Opposite Side
Rotate the box so its opposite side is towards you, then go through the steps above again.
That's all, your Christmas gift cloth is packaged. Now, you can include bows, ribbons, or other embellishments that you desire.
