Mention the following as tips:
 Removal of price tags
 Placing items in a box to make the gift easier to wrap
 If your box comes apart easily (like a shirt‐box), be sure to use a little
bit of tape to keep it from opening during the wrapping process. Use
only as much as necessary to keep it from coming apart, not so much
that the person will need a machete to open it.
Advance the slide to Step 3.
Demonstrate how to measure the box
utilizing the box.
Advance the slide to Step 4.
Demonstrate how to fold the paper and use
it as a line to cut the paper.
Advance the slide to Step 5.
Point out the importance of positioning the
box in the middle of the paper.
Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 3
• Place the gift in the
center of the wrapping
paper
• Measure how much
paper is needed. Make
sure you have enough
paper to go around
the box once and the
width leaves extra on
each side so the
wrapping paper
overlaps.

Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 4
• Mark your cut lines. If
cutting in straight lines
is difficult for you, you
can fold a line in the
paper that you will use
to cut along, unfold,
and cut along the fold.
• Put the rest of the roll
aside.

Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 5
• Place the gift box
upside down in the
middle of your paper.
This will make sure
that the recipient of
the gift, when opening
it, will land on the top
of the box instead of
the bottom.

Advance the slide to Step 6.
Demonstrate pulling the long ends of the
paper together.
Fold the edge to make a crease
Affix the tape. If paper is slippery, suggest
affixing tape directly to the box as well as on
the paper.
Advance the slide to Step 7.
Demonstrate the folding of the ends in
toward the box and how creasing the paper
may help make a neater edge.
Repeat this process to the other end.
Advance the slide to Step 8.
Demonstrate how to put the ribbon on the
box.
Advance the slide to the next slide.
Roll the mouse on top of the slide’s title to play
an audio clip (people clapping).
Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 6
• Fold the paper around the
gift. On the horizontal side
of the paper, take one side
and fold it over to the
bottom of your gift. Then
take the other side, folding
it over, too.
• Take the longer side and
fold it under so that you
have a nice smooth crease
instead of jagged cutting.
• Put it on top of the other
end and pull it tight. Then
tape together.

Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 7
• Fold one side of the box at
a time.
• On one end of your
package, fold the corners
in so you have kind of like a
triangle.
• If you want to, add a crease
to the triangle flap by
folding the straight side
over on itself.
• Fold the straight end over,
then pull it to the top of
your package. Tape.
• Repeat on the other side.

Lesson 3: Steps
• Step 8
• Add ribbon. Make sure
your ribbon is long
enough and can go
around the gift in
whatever pattern you
decide.
• For the "classic" look of
a cross on top and
bottom, the amount of
ribbon you will need will
be twice the length, plus
twice the width, plus
twice the height, plus
enough to tie it and
make the bow.
