Front row, left to right :
GIFT WRAP GROOMING. Package beauty begins when “Scotch” Cellophane Tape holds paper securely in place.
STAY-PRETTY WRAP. It still looks pretty when box is opened. Just cover lid and base separately. Cut paper to cover lid, plus 1 inch extra on each side. Fold edges inside lid and fasten with tape (a). Cover base same as lid. Idea shown: Arrange thin paper strips in “x’s” on table. Press lengths of tape over “x’s” to pick them up and tape to box.
PICTURAMA. Child’s play. Use magazine scenes for gift paper. For larger boxes, tape two or more pictures together.
SPARKLING SYMMETRY. Lovely! Wrap 3 loops of tape, sticky side out, around a length of cardboard; space evenly (b). Place on box and press down loops; slip out cardboard (c). Repeat, alternating direction of loops on package. Sprinkle with glitter for the finishing touch.
Back row, left to right :
CHECKERBOARD. Imaginative! Tape down equal-sized squares of construction paper to gift wrap. Make small loops of tape, sticky side out (d) and place on box. Press wrapped Christmas candies to tape loops.
