How to Wrap Awkwardly Shaped Gifts Like a Pro This Holiday Season
The holidays are a time of giving, but let’s be honest—wrapping oddly shaped gifts can feel like solving a puzzle! With Happy Wrap's premium sheet-based wrapping paper, you can turn even the trickiest gifts into beautifully wrapped treasures. In this blog, we’ll guide you through easy and creative ways to wrap those awkwardly shaped items so your gifts can shine under the Christmas tree.
1. The Cushion Wrap for Plush Toys
Plush toys are adorable but notoriously hard to wrap. Try this method:
- Lay your Happy Wrap paper flat, pattern side down.
- Place the toy in the center and gather the paper around it like a pouch.
- Secure the top with a festive ribbon or bow for a whimsical look.
2. Cylinder Gifts Made Simple
For cylindrical items like candles or jars:
- Roll the gift in your Happy Wrap paper and tape it securely.
- Twist the ends like a piece of candy and tie with ribbon to keep everything in place.
3. The Box Hack for Small or Fragile Items
For small or fragile items, consider repurposing a sturdy box you already have at home:
- Place the item inside the box and wrap it with Happy Wrap paper.
- Finish with a coordinating ribbon or tag to keep the focus on your festive wrapping paper.
4. Wrap It Like a Cracker
For long, thin items like scarves or rolled-up posters:
- Place the item in the center of your Happy Wrap sheet.
- Roll it up, securing the paper with tape.
- Twist both ends tightly and tie with a bow to create a cracker-inspired wrap.
5. Make Your Own Pouch
For irregularly shaped gifts like jewelry or loose items:
- Cut a large rectangle of Happy Wrap paper and fold it in half with the patterned sides facing out.
- Tape the two open sides to create a pouch, leaving the top open.
- Slide your gift inside and seal with a decorative sticker or ribbon.
6. Creative Layers for Added Elegance
Layering multiple sheets of Happy Wrap designs can elevate your awkwardly shaped gift presentation:
- Use a bold base design and layer a contrasting pattern as an accent band.
- Secure with double-sided tape for a clean finish.
