This week I decided to try and wrap a present the way I normally do, because the present I had to wrap was waaaaay too big for the fancy ways I wanted to wrap, plus the front side is open because it’s a toy. Anyway, here are some pictures of how that turned out. 
I couldn’t wrap it the fancy way I wanted so I decided that MAYBE just MAYBE I could accomplish a bow. I decided to watch this video, and attempt the first bow.

I watched this video a couple of times, and I could not follow along with her speed, so I slowed the video down, probably too slow as it was kind of comical, but I was kind of successful?
Who am I kidding, it was horendus. The kid getting this present probably won’t care about the bow at all but atleast it is the first step for me in trying to make prettier presents.
I am sure somewhere in my brain there is a memory of learning how to wrap ribbons, and I think with a smaller, less long rectangle box I might of been slightly more successful. Who knows maybe after this I will become a gift wrapping, bow tying master. I still need to get myself some more wrapping paper, and some double-sided tape. Using scotch tape is fine, but I always, ALWAYS run out of tape and end up using packing tape or duct tape!

Hi Kacey! Gift wrapping is such a fun project to learn. Whenever I wrap gifts, they either look wonderful, or they end up looking horrendous. I find the hardest part is figuring out how much wrapping paper I need to use for the gift I am trying to wrap. Typically, I always mess that part up, lol.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress!

Hi Kacey! I am also sooo bad at wrapping gifts, every time I have to around Christmas time everyone knows immediately that I wrapped it because it looks hideous lol. Anyways don’t give up its definitely a process, best of luck in the next couple weeks!

Hi, Kracy, I am very bad at gift rapping usually my children help me with that. For this class we are spending time to learn something or become better at somethings. Yes differently gift wrapping is not easy. Patience and perfection is the skill to learn. keep trying good luck.
