For my EDTC Learning Assignment, I decided I should give wrapping presents a try. I hate wrapping presents, I mean HATE HATE HATE, Double Hate, LOAAATTTHEEEEEE ENTIRELY! Thats the type of hate I feel when it comes to wrapping presents. I would much rather use a gift bag, it is so much easier. I can kind of wrap presents, I mean I have the basics, but it is not pretty at all. Sometimes I get lucky and it looks great other times….. well lets just say my husband laughs at me hahaha.
So for my learning jounrey, I decided to first research how to wrap presents! I watched a ton of videos, some were very easy, and some were extreeeeemmmely hard. Like there is no way I would ever have the patience for that! So I’ve watched about thirty videos and I have narrowed it down to four types of wrapping that I would love to give a try! I think it will take me a bit to get each wrapping perfect like they have in the videos. I’ll post the wrapping paper styles that I’ll try further down.
So I think I need to get some better wrapping paper, some double sided tape, and some nice ribbon. I know I have some stuff around the house that I will have to hunt down, but I know my dollar store wrapping paper probably isn’t going to be thick enough to do some of these wrap jobs. I’ll have to go to Costco or maybe Micheals!
Anyway, I am going to try these wrap jobs, I’ll post them to what I think will be easiest to hardest. I’ll start with the “easiest” one and post my attempt next week!

Hi Kacey, I think this a really cool idea. I understand the struggles of wrapping gifts, as mine always look wonky. I wish you good luck and can’t wait to see you nail these cool designs, you’re sure to impress your gift receivers in the future.

Wow! By the end of this semester you should be an all star! Wrapping gifts is not something that I am good at or enjoy so you are a brave person. Have fun!
