During this week’s attempt at wrapping gifts, I thought I was prepared! I had bought some new wrapping paper, some good tape, and some ribbons, but I was not prepared. I went into this week excited because well who can’t wrap a book right? RIGHT? I started off strong with everything laid out as so:
I started to follow the instructions on this video, it looked fairly simple.
Well, APPARENTLY, I should of looked at the dimensions of the wrapping paper I bought, because it did not want to work for her directions, that OR I just messed up. Oh hey, It’s me! I’m the problem it’s me!
At this point I was starting to get frustrated because the paper was obviously too small to wrap around nicely, as you can see in my face here.
First I started looking online to find other examples just like the video to wrap but I had a really hard time finding anything exactly the same. I decided it would be easier just to switch to something smaller. So out went the book and in came a PS4 game case.
This worked a lot better size wise for my size paper and I thought that I would have this wrapping style in the bag but, I was sorely mistaken. Who would of thunk that the paper had to be an exact square! Haha, apparently, I need a ruler or something to help me. I have zero patience for things that frustrate me, Hello ADHD, so it started to get a little ugly.
I took a breather and ended up chopping off the extra length and VOILA! I got it, sort of!?
This package is definitely business in the front, disaster in the back but whatever! I’ll try again next week, but with the correct size of paper! I honeslty was really frustrated this time and kind of regretted choosing wrapping gifts! Hopefully it will get easier!!! Wish me luck!
