Wrap Holiday Presents Faster and Easier with This Amazing Japanese Technique

December 19, 2015 By Vanessa Beaty 12 Comments

Wrap Holiday Presents Faster and Easier with This Amazing Japanese Technique...So, if you’ve ever wondered how the Japanese wrap gifts – think origami. This video shows the amazing way that someone can wrap a gift, and make it so perfect you would think it was professionally done. Everyone knows how to wrap a gift, but can you do it this perfectly?

Video Instructions:


Remember the festive string lights? Well, this idea is just as easy as those projects, and will save you so much time when you’re wrapping. The art of origami definitely plays a part here. I mean, the corners are so perfect. There’s no crinkling of the paper like when I wrap gifts, and the video makes it look so easy. Who would have thought that an ancient paper folding technique could make you the best gift wrapper? All you need is some great DIY Christmas gift tags and you’re all set.

Follow the video – it’s short and shows you precisely how to get these perfect corners every time you wrap a gift. This is a skill that you’ll use throughout the year, not just during, Christmas, but it is the perfect time to share it with you. It’s actually all about how you cut the paper. Instead of cutting in a square, he cuts it at an angle to create less waste and give those corners a tight edge. We’ve all been doing this wrong for years! I can’t wait to do this!

    I can wrap neatly and quick already and this weird thing took me 10 minutes and I still couldn’t get it right! When I finished it looked like a little kid wrapped it. I need to see this step by step with pictures

    Thank you. I saw a department store clerk wrap this way in Japan, and I did not analyze it. I dd notice it used less paper.
