Get a nice Christmas bag. They can have penguins, Snoopy (from peanuts), Santa, snowmen, etc.

Method 2 of 2:
Wrapped Method

1
Get the wrapping paper.
2
Put the gift in the middle evenly.

Measure twice to make sure you only have to cut once. Get out the estimated amount, wrap it but don't crease it, and then cut any excess!
4
Fold the long sides up and tape in the middle.
5
Crease the corners into the shape of the present.
6
Fold the remaining flaps over the creases you just made.
7
Tape again and you're done folding!
8
Cut a small rectangle and fold it in half and write the person its from (you) and the person it's going to. Add a bow and your done!

Do you know how to attach ribbon in a cross-shaped figure?

Community Answer

Take the ribbon across the package and underneath, turn it over and criss-cross the ribbon, bring it back to the top side of the box and tie it.
Question

What if the paper is too small?

Community Answer

If the paper is too small, you can either start over and use a bigger piece of paper, or you can use smaller pieces of paper to cover up the holes (although this won't look as neat).

Community Answer

I suggest putting the gift in a box, then wrapping it. If you don't have a box, ask your parent/guardian if you may go to the store and get a gift bag.

You could wrap the box from bottom to top and use a bow to hold it in place, or you could tie a bow around the box.

Always be careful when using sharp tools to cut the paper. Also keep in mind that paper can also cut you, so be careful and don't rush.
