You can also make gift wrapping for round objects and cans yourself using the same method using crepe paper. It is easier to use than regular wrapping paper and looks just as good. However, crepe paper with a pattern is less common, so it is only suitable for gifts with simple packaging.
For beautiful gift packaging, you should coordinate the wrapping paper and decorations with the occasion in order to make a good impression. For example, for Christmas presents it is best to choose paper that has a corresponding pattern. For birthdays and personal occasions, the selection is larger and depends on the preferences of the person receiving the gift.
with fabric
If you want to quickly wrap round gifts without having to deal with wrapping paper, you can wrap the gift creatively with a beautiful cloth. A rectangular fabric that is opaque and has a beautiful pattern is best suited for this. Place the gift in the middle, tie two opposite corners and then repeat the same with the other two. Finally, tie the corners with a nice ribbon and the gift wrapping is ready. You can also use this method for gifts in unusual shapes.
You can give your gifts an individual touch with cloths made of cotton or silk in different colors. There are no limits to creativity and you can try out different color combinations and techniques. You can also save paper with fabric gift wrapping and the whole thing only takes a few minutes.
A nice idea is to use tulle. First, wrap the gift with a silk scarf or tissue paper and use the tulle as a second layer. Tie the remaining fabric with a satin ribbon to create an elegant gift wrap that is perfect for wedding, birthday or Mother's Day gifts.
Are you looking for a simple technique? Place the gift in the center of a full sheet of wrapping paper, pull up the corners of the paper and close them with a string or suitable ribbon. Tie a bow, decorate with a Christmas ball and you have the perfect packaging for a round Christmas present.
Some round gifts are oblong or come in an oblong tin, such as world maps. Instead of putting the tin in a gift bag that is too large, you can make a beautiful gift box yourself from elegant wrapping paper.
When wrapping things that are in a tin, you can use the same technique as for flatter gifts. If there is some wrapping paper left over when you fold the top, you can either cut it out or fold it again. If you don't want visible strips of tape on the packaging, you can use double-sided tape instead.
Here we show how you can use inexpensive materials to wrap round gifts and create a happy atmosphere at the celebration. First, cut out a matching piece of white wrapping paper and paint any pattern or motif on it. Then wrap the paper around the can and tape the outside edge with clear tape. Then gently pinch the empty corners together as shown in the picture and tie a knot in each with ribbon.
If you bought a round bottle or can as a gift and would like to wrap it beautifully, then we have a cute idea for you.
