Master-class "Gift wrapping with herringbone from two sheets of paper"
⇒ Step 1 Basic tools and materials:
- two sheets of packing paper of different colors;
- scissors;
- glue or scotch tape (it is more convenient two-sided);
- beautiful packing tape;
- a toy or a Christmas composition for decor.
⇒ Step 2: Cut a rectangle out of one sheet of paper that will cover the top and two sides of the gift box. Attach the paper with small pieces of tape.
⇒ Step 3.Take a second sheet of wrapping paper, preferably a contrasting color. This sheet should now completely cover the entire box. Wrap the gift with paper so that the edges of the sheet are on top.
⇒ Step 4: Fold the edges diagonally to create a triangle-shaped opening.
⇒ Step 5. Wrap the gift box in paper. Secure the sides with tape. In this case, double-sided tape was used, which is very convenient. A triangular cutout remains at the top.
⇒ Step 6.Make neat small cuts with scissors on the two sides of the triangle. These will be the branches of the tree. The fluffiness and visual height of the tree depend on how deep the cuts are and what distance there is between them.
⇒ Step 7. Fold the slits up.
⇒ Step 8. Decorate the gift wrap with a beautiful ribbon and a Christmas tree decoration.
