TIPS FOR HANDLING PAPERS
With Christmas just around the corner, this is definitely the season for an immersive show! (Or for some, a wrap marathon).
We thought we'd share some tips and tricks to help make the process as smooth as possible and hopefully have fun with it!
Space, you will need it
We always like to stand, and mainly work from a large enough table. Keep the area clear and only have the necessary gift wrapping items on the surface.
Get your wrapping paper, duct tape, tape, and scissors assembled
The fun part of gift wrapping is choosing your paper and how it matches your accessories (ribbon, tag, card). You can do your best and have a gorgeous theme planned. We are a bit biased as we like to choose from our own selection of wrapping paper and accessories! Keep a sharp pair of scissors handy (sometimes we use two types of scissors as the tape can be more difficult to cut), double-sided or regular tape, and our beautiful tape (a pleasure to tie!).
Measure, cut, fold and tie
We like to measure how much paper is needed so we don't waste it. Using a piece of string or a tailor's tape measure, and adding about 10 cm on each side, cut the paper. We fold an end section so that it is perfectly tidy. Tape down (either double sided tape or invisible tape). Fold in the sides and then tie it with a ribbon (just like you would your shoelaces).
Recycle, recycle
All our wrapping papers can be recycled by using them again (if they are still in very good condition) or by recycling them. The same goes for the tape, if it is material, it is worth saving and using it again!
Some other quick tricks to mention
When do you have an awkward shape to wrap? Put the item in a box and wrap it. Work done!
A respectful tip for the planet of yesteryear, for when you run out of gift tags. Cut out the front design of an old Christmas card, poke a hole, and thread the tape.
For that added bonus, create a gift topper with cutout paper snowflakes.
