jb5679 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Erm, best way is to look it up online and they'd give you pictures. Short manner of it is to place it in a box and use enough wrapping paper to cover the box and then some, cover the wider side of the box with the paper allowing for the right and left side of the papr still overlaying the box. Tape the center of the box down and then work onto the sides where its sticking out. Fold over two sides of the end and then form the other two sides into akind of triangle via folding. this will allow two triangular flaps to kind of fold onto themselves (not touching but kind of make an hourglass figure). That should be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Forsaken Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hah! Men don't wrap presents! We cut off a big square and cram it around the gift with lots of tape. That or we get it wrapped at the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorCleric Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Get one of those gift boxes or gift bags from a store like the Hallmark Store. Typically myself, I'm a wrap it in white tissue paper kinda guy myself. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 God damn, you people are pathetic. The easiest way to wrap a present, if it is not already rectangular in shape, is to find a box that it will fit in. Rectangles/squares are much easier to wrap than oddly shaped objects. Step 1: To follow these directions, set your package down on its bottom, in front of you. Step 2: Unroll a sufficient amount of wrapping paper to cover the bottom of the package, leaving a margin of about half the package's height on the left side. Step 3: Bring the roll of wrapping paper around the present, over the top, and cut off the paper at about half the package's height (so it touches the margin you left). Step 4: Tape the two ends of the wrapping paper together. Step 5: Turn the present on its right side, so that the seam of the wrapping paper is on top. Step 6: Press the left and ride sides of the excess wrapping paper inward, leaving you with two triangular flaps on the top and bottom of the present. Step 7: Press the top flap (with the seam on it) down first, taping it to the side of the gift. Then press the bottom flap down and tape it to the top flap. Step 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other side. Step 9 (Optional): Place ribbons and/or bows on the top (seamless) side of the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtsoShex Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Or, find a decorative bag of proper dimensions, stuff object in bag, and fill remainder of bag with tissue paper. Lazy way, but cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iyorvin Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 1. Have to be prepared, get out the duct tape and old newspapers. 2. Make sure you stretched your fingers, have to be ready for this. 3. Now you want to lay out the newspaper like it you were reading it, and then pull the paper over and around the gift. Make sure every piece of the gift is covered, but don't worry, the next step will take care of any place you may have missed. 4. Now take some duct tape and make sure it's wrapped around every inch. (afterall you don't want them to be able to guess). That's all there is to it. It also works great as entertainment, most of these birthday parties get boring anyway, and chances are you're hanging around with a bunch of people you don't want to, and nothing breaks the ice like laughter. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
