Gift Wrapping Without Tape
Have you ever tried wrapping a gift without tape? TikTok user @MakeLifeSimpler_ shows that it’s possible with the right folding technique.
Running out of Wrapping Paper
When you’re short on wrapping paper or mistakenly cut the wrong length, there’s a simple workaround to it. Have you ever thought of turning the gift diagonal and bringing the four sides inwards?
Wrapping Multiple Gifts in One Package
The Folding Lady has been making rounds on TikTok since last year with their tried and tested methods. Try making gift bags with your wrapping paper to fit multiple gifts in one package instead of buying the generic ones from the store. This also works well for oddly shaped gifts like stuffed toys.
