Step 5Wrap the gift, part 2: the ends

Remember, the more snug the fit, the neater the appearance.

  • Turn the box so that one end faces you. Remember the box is still upside down. Fold the length of paper on the face-up side down to the end, and crease it along the edge as you did before. Tape that end down.

  • Now fold one side in towards the middle and crease up the side. You will notice the crease creates an angle when you get to the bottom. This is good! Fold the paper into the bottom corner where the end of the box meets the paper. Crease the paper along that fold.

  • Carefully fold the other side in, crease that side and fit the paper into the bottom corner. One last fold for this end. You will find the extra paper folds over onto itself, and the folded edge will run back along itself. Now you can fold up the end piece and tape it to the box. The end piece should either be a trapezoid (a rectangle with two sides caved in) or a triangle.

If the end piece hangs up over the side, fold it back in on itself so that you have a trapezoid which fits along the end, and crease it. Tape the end piece. Turn the box around and do the same thing with the other end.
