Polysilk

Polysilk

Many people do not know what polysilk is. However, everyone not only saw this paper, but even held it in their hands and touched it. However, if you ask someone what polysilk is, no one can give a clear answer.

Polysilk is more often used for packaging non-standard gifts that are problematic to pack in a box. The polylisk is intended to knit decorative knots. It looks like a wide film. It stretches a little. In addition to the fact that polysilk is used for knitting decorative knots on gift wrappings, it is often used by stylists and designers.

The main feature of polysilk is that you can wrap the largest gifts in it: refrigerators, televisions and even cars.

A gift package wrapped in corrugated gift paper. You can wrap anything in it: boxes, objects, even flowerpots. If, in addition, you tie a beautiful polysilic knot on the gift wrapping, it will turn out simply amazing.

Corrugated paper is plain and rough. Everyone knows this paper. Flower bouquets are often packed in it. In addition, gifts that have an elongated shape are packaged in it. For example, various bottles, oblong boxes and tubes.

Silence - these are paper ribbons, which are usually used as a filler rather than a wrapping material. However, such material also belongs to the gift category. It is very light, thin and airy. In silence you can wrap various objects of complex geometric shapes. At the same time, they become more voluminous. Gift packages that are wrapped in silence look very elegant and festive.

Craft

A wedding is perhaps the biggest holiday for every person participating in it. The most unusual and original gifts can be seen on such days.

And when such a great event takes place, the invited people inevitably face the question of what to give for the wedding, and most importantly, what to wrap the wedding gift in? This question has long had an answer - a wedding gift is wrapped in Kraft gift paper.

Kraft is a paper that has ribbed shape and cross embossing. It is sold in large rolls. In addition to wedding gifts, others are also wrapped in it. That is, it cannot be said that only wedding gifts are packaged in Kraft.

Sheet glossy paper is used exclusively for gift wrapping. In other words, it was invented specifically for wrapping gifts.

This paper comes in a variety of colors. Moreover, the colors can be either monochromatic or multi-colored. Various beautiful designs can be applied to it.

It should be noted that most often it is used for wrapping gifts. sheet glossy paper. It, like craft, was invented to wrap various gift items.

But it’s much more pleasant to arrange it yourself. After all, wrapping a gift with your own hands is a creative endeavor. Who among us hasn’t felt like a creator at least sometimes?

In conclusion, it must be said that it is more pleasant to give gifts wrapped in gift paper with your own hands. This way it will always turn out more beautiful than in a regular gift box. Gift boxes that you can buy in a store are given everywhere and by everyone, but sometimes you want to give something truly memorable and original.

I once had questions such as how to pack a box in gift paper, and the store helped me resolve this issue in a matter of minutes.

Now when I'm invited to a party, I don't bang my head against the wall, trying to come up with something original and exclusive. In my opinion, it’s better to go to the store. Everything there will be done in the best possible way.

Ivan Okhlobystin

Yes, you can wrap gift boxes in store. It turns out well. The saleswomen there also try to do everything so that the buyer likes it. But sometimes it’s more pleasant to do it yourself.

If you are looking for a container, for example, for a book, then yes, you can pack it in a banal store box. And if this is a design with a complex shape, then I would show my creativity and figure out how to make a beautiful package myself.

Julia Kraft

I don't agree with your point of view.

I once gave a book as a gift. I wanted to do everything and decorate it with my own hands. After all, this is not difficult to do. And I don't need any instructions for this. After all, this must be done from the heart, and not according to instructions.

A friend helped me make a beautiful package, then helped me paste it with decorative elements, so I then offered to give her this book together. But she refused. And rightly so, she was not invited to her birthday.

We give gifts to loved ones, friends, colleagues on birthdays, New Year, and other holidays. Those who believe that content is more important than form think that it is quite possible to do without a beautiful wrapper. Candy with or without a wrapper is equally delicious! However, even a very serious and respectable person will be sincerely delighted to receive an elegantly and inventively packaged gift.

The most popular “container” for it, like hundreds of years ago, remains paper. Let's see how to wrap a gift in paper.

Paper like the ancient Chinese never dreamed of

The choice of paper is enormous. Stores offer packaging paper that is thin and durable, glossy and matte, corrugated and embossed.

Sheet glossy paper

The most convenient for our purpose. Comes in a variety of colors and patterns.

Craft

Craft is intended specifically for gift wrapping. This type of paper is slightly ribbed to the touch, with transverse embossing. Produced in rolls of ten meters in length.

Silence

Quietly thin, light, airy. Therefore, it is also used as a filler. Objects of complex shapes are wrapped in silence, which this type of container fits elegantly and prominently.

Polysilk

Gifts of non-standard shapes are often packaged in polysilk. Large decorative bows are made from it. Resembles a thick film, stretches a little. For these not-quite-paper-like properties, polysilk is loved by designers and stylists.

Corrugated paper

Plain, rough corrugated paper is familiar to everyone as an element of packaging flower bouquets. It is often used to decorate souvenir bottles and other gifts of narrow elongated shape, packaged in boxes and tubes.

Mulberry

Mulberry is a type of handmade paper made in Thailand. The color range is extensive. It often has a pattern or ornament, sometimes with inserts of floral materials (dried flowers, fragments of stems, leaves).

These types of wrapping paper do not exhaust the entire selection. There is also mother-of-pearl, silk, crinkled, embossed, gel... The ancient Chinese inventors of paper never dreamed of this!

We pack a square or rectangular box

First, let's learn how to properly pack a gift with your own hands if it is in a square or rectangular box.

We will need:

  • packaging paper
  • ribbons, cords for decoration
  • tape measure or centimeter
  • scissors
  • tape (preferably double-sided - ordinary tape will be too noticeable, and it remains to be seen whether it will be possible to disguise it accurately enough).

We pack a round or oval box

Let's figure out how to pack a round gift. Hats, tea or coffee sets, sweets, cookies, and tea are sold in a round or oval box. Not every professional packer can handle a box of this shape, so again, practice on scrap paper first.

We measure the box in height. Cut a strip of gift paper 2–3 cm wider. We paste this strip around the box, not forgetting to tuck 1 cm under the bottom, 1-2 cm inside. Naturally, remove the lid. Cut out a circle or oval from wrapping paper slightly smaller than the bottom. Glue it to the bottom of the box so that the folded seam allowance is not visible.

With the lid it's the other way around. Cut out a slightly larger circle or oval, glue it and the seam allowance on the sides, making neat folds. We cut out a strip of paper 1 cm wider than the height of the lid. Glue it flush with the top of the lid, and fold the protruding seam allowance inward.

Here is another master class in pictures using corrugated paper

The final touch is the box design

We have figured out how to properly wrap a gift in paper. Now you need to decorate it in an original way. Let's look at a few ideas.

The box can be tied with a ribbon or ribbon. No, it's too banal. What if with several ribbons or ribbons of different colors and textures?

If you chose plain, unpatterned wrapping paper, tighten the box with thin thread or ribbon and attach a flower or bow on top. This bright accent will give plain paper a special charm.

For a man's gift, more discreet packaging is more suitable. You can tie tiny plastic Christmas tree balls to New Year's Eve; for a birthday party - small bows or other decorative decorations. Anyone can do this in an hour, it will look spectacular!

It is better to put a children's gift in a bright textile bag or arrange it in the form of a large candy. Kids love to discover all sorts of interesting surprises from packages.

Gift shops sell ready-made packaging boxes. If your gift is large, look there: maybe you can guess the size?

In general, it is useful to go shopping in search of fresh ideas on how to successfully complement gift wrapping. Among various cute little things you can sometimes find something that will be useful to you. Brightly colored natural bird feathers or miniature butterfly brooches, for example. Or you can rummage through your household supplies and find original ribbons, decorative laces, and miniature souvenirs that just need to be glued to a gift box. For those who know how to crochet, making a round flower is a matter of minutes, and glued together with ribbons to the package, it will look like a designer exclusive.

Use your imagination, and your efforts and experiments on how to wrap a gift will not be in vain, but will be appreciated.

Presenting a gift in an original and beautiful way is not as difficult as it often seems at first glance. It is quite possible to pack a gift in a box and gift paper with your own hands. Using step-by-step recommendations, accompanied by photos and videos, you can make a beautiful gift. Thanks to simple and visual tips, it will be easy to wrap both large and small gifts in special paper. Moreover, the form of the presentation is not important. Below are guidelines for wrapping rectangular and round gifts.

Step-by-step instructions for wrapping a gift in gift paper

Check out three detailed step-by-step instructions on how to properly and beautifully wrap a gift, and then you will definitely cope with this task!

Standard box packaging

Anyone can wrap a gift beautifully in gift paper if you use the suggested step-by-step instructions.

For packaging you need to prepare:

  • a beautiful ribbon;
  • wrapping paper;
  • scissors;
  • double sided tape.

If you are wrapping a gift for the first time, you should first practice on newspaper or unnecessary sheets. This will allow you to get used to the work and avoid mistakes when the gift itself is issued.

  1. Beautiful gift paper is used as a basis. You will need to cut off the required amount of material. Then place it wrong side up. There is a box with a gift on it. Its bottom should face up.
  2. Next, you need to wrap the box with the gift on the far side. To attach the gift paper, you need to cut a piece of double-sided tape. Then the material is thoroughly stretched over the gift so that there are no folds or “waves” left.
  3. Now you need to thoroughly close the seam so that the wrong side of the wrapping paper is not visible in the gap. To do this, the edge is bent. The width of the fold should vary from 0.5 to 1 cm. Then the material is well stretched and fixed with pieces of tape.
  4. Next, you need to mask the sides of the gift. It is most convenient to fold the wrapping paper along the top edge of the box. This is why it is recommended to start from the top. First of all, you will need to wrap the material to the height of the box. The gift paper is folded inward so that sharp corners of approximately 45 degrees are formed. The resulting strips must be glued to the body of the box. The same steps must be repeated on the opposite side.
  5. This creates the basis of the packaging.
  6. When packing a present in paper with your own hands, you can use a visual diagram. This step-by-step instruction will help those who decide to wrap a gift in paper for the first time.
  7. Now you need to decorate the packaging. To make everything beautiful, you need to take the ribbon as a basis. Its length should be approximately 5 times the longest side of the gift. Place the box upside down in the middle of the tape. The right end of the tape should be positioned above the left edge. The decor must be thoroughly tightened.
  8. Next, the box is turned over. Both edges of the tape need to be slipped under the strip, which is already well stretched.
  9. Then you need to tie a bow and straighten it carefully.
  10. Using scissors, you need to decorate the free sides of the ribbon.
  11. That's all! The gift, packed in bright and stylish gift paper, is ready!

Round box packaging

It is quite difficult to wrap round gifts beautifully and neatly. However, this problem can also be solved quickly and creatively. The attractiveness of the method proposed below lies in the fact that such decoration of a souvenir involves the use of a minimum amount of paper and an almost complete rejection of additional decor. This packaging option is self-sufficient in its simplicity and conciseness.

To decorate a round gift, you will need to prepare a glue gun, paper with a bright pattern, a cardboard circle, scissors, ribbon or twine, and a stapler.

  1. When getting started, you will first need to measure the diameter and height of the box. In accordance with the obtained dimensions, you need to cut out a rectangle from gift paper. The height of this part should be the figure obtained from the height of the box, which was multiplied by 1.5. The length of the figure is equal to the diameter of the souvenir. The resulting rectangle should be cut into strips. Their width should not exceed 3 cm.
  2. In all the resulting strips you need to make a small hole. This is done on the narrow side using a hole punch. The other edge is fixed to a cardboard circle so that all the cut-out blanks are used to form a voluminous fan. Then you need to wait a little for the glue to dry.
  3. Place the souvenir in the center of the resulting structure. Cut a ribbon or piece of twine. Thread the material through the holes on all the strips. To make it convenient, you should alternately wrap the workpieces towards the center of the circle. The twine (tape) must be tightened quite tightly.
  4. When all the strips are collected together, the ribbon (twine) needs to be tied in a knot. This will secure the structure and prevent it from “creeping”. The excess amount of material should be cut off, and the workpiece itself is fixed to a knot, which is best disguised with a bow. It can be formed from leftover tape.
  5. That's all! Round gift wrapping is ready.

Wrapping a large gift

If the gift is large enough and cumbersome, this is not at all a reason to give it in an unsightly manner. Such a present can also be stylishly and beautifully decorated using gift paper.

  1. Before packing the gift, you will need to measure the required amount of gift paper.
  2. The gift box is placed on the reverse side of the packaging material. A strip of double-sided tape should be placed on top of the box along its entire length, after which the protective film is removed from it.
  3. Now the short edge of the gift paper needs to be folded over the packaging. Where the tape is located, it should be smoothed, and the fold lines should be pressed with your hands.
  4. Next, the opposite edge of the paper is folded 2 cm and secured along the fold line with tape, from which the protective film is removed.
  5. The paper is stretched tightly around the souvenir, and its edges are folded over the lid of a large box and glued.
  6. It is necessary to close the sides of the gift. The material is first folded over the top, and the resulting curls are ironed by hand. The corners are fixed with tape or glue.
  7. The corners of the gift wrapping are secured one by one.
  8. The sides of the resulting triangle are decorated from the inside with double-sided tape.
  9. The resulting workpiece is pressed tightly against the base of the box, after which all these same actions are repeated on the opposite side.
  10. All that remains is to decorate the gift with a bow and special ribbons.

1. First you need to measure out the required amount of wrapping paper - just take the necessary measurements. It is worth noting that in this case, the width of the paper must be calculated so that the gap between A and B is about 1-1.5 cm, taking into account that edge A is bent by 0.5 cm.

2. Place a strip of tape on edge B of the wrapping paper. This should be done from the front side and at a distance of about 1-1.5 cm from the edge.

3. Prepare a lace ribbon - its length should be 2 times the length of the wrapping paper.

4. Remove the protective film from the double-sided tape and glue the lace to the paper.
