How to wrap gifts

Are you the type who always gets your gift wrapped in the store? Or say "YES THANK YOU" if they ask if you want a gift bag?
Then you are not the only one. Quite a few people wrap presents with passion, and look despairingly at the paper and tape if the task ends up on their desk.
Fortunately, it is not as difficult as it looks when the knowledgeable clerks wrap gifts, and you can easily wrap your gifts beautifully yourself.

You will need this:
- Wrapping paper (or newsprint, fabric, EVERWRAP etc.)
- Tape
- Scissors
- Possibly ribbons and other decorations

How to do it:
1. Cut the wrapping paper.
2. Place the gift in the middle of the paper and fold the gift paper tightly around the gift with two ends. Fold if necessary. the one than, so it has a nice ending. Tape the paper together.
3. Fold the sides in at the end and close with tape. You now have a wrapped gift.
4. If you want to put gift ribbon on, you must now cut a suitable piece of gift ribbon.
5. Put the ribbon around the gift, turn the gift over, cross the ribbon on the back, turn the gift over again and tie a knot. Then tie a bow.
6. Decorate if necessary. the gift with dried flowers, paper clippings or something else nice.
