Gift-Wrapping with Ria »

When I was about to wrap a gift for my niece, Kuya Andrew had the brilliant idea of filming me and making me give some instructions ala Martha Stewart.
Here’s a video of me wrapping a book for my one-year old niece:
Some Gift-Wrapping Tips and Notes:
- Work on a clean, flat surface.
- Use sharp scissors
- Use magic tape (Scotch brand) because it looks cleaner.
- When wrapping a gift for kids, choose a wrapper with a character or design they would like and stick with their favorite colors.
- Don’t tape or stick the wrapper to the item itself. Either wrap the item in plastic first or wrap in such a way that would require you to tape the wrapper to the item.
- Note that I was wrapping a gift for a one-year-old, and her mother or father would be opening it for her. If I was wrapping a gift for an older kid, I’d make the wrapping less complicated, and with less tape so the kid would have an easy time opening it.
Have fun!
{Pardon the constipated, “I’m shy,” mood because it was in the middle of a cafe and… a cousin was there, and I really wasn’t in a camwhoring mood. :P}
