hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today I'm gonna show you how to wrap a
very oddly shaped item I'm assuming that a lot of you are gonna get asked for
this for the holidays this year or for birthdays that's right the slime craze
still is here and it's not going anywhere and I know that this is going
to be a requested item on the shopping list this year so I'm going to teach you
how to wrap it in a nice pretty way so that it is presentable I'm going to show
you how to do it right now what you want to do is you want to make sure that the
paper that you have right you want to make sure that it is going to fit around
easily and you want to make sure that you have lots and lots of extra so that
you're not there we go so that you're not futzing you want to
make sure that you have enough to go at least to the center of the bottom so I'm
going to give myself a little bit of extra here and as you can see it wraps
around easily here now on top here we have way more than we need so we want to
add at least another four or five inches over top but we don't need all of this
if you have too much extra then they end up gets in your way so we'll just cut
that right there first thing you want to do place your glue and you want to get
your tape ready I'm a very big proponent of folding over the edge so you get a
nice clean seam fold one side up fold the other side up and over to meet it
and make sure it's nice and tight and try to make sure that these ends are as
even as possible one piece of tape for the bottom what you want to do is
take your hand push down from the top so that you end up with these triangular
shapes almost like kind of looks like the back end of a shovel see that so one
more time you got it here straight up push down with your hand to make those
nice triangular sides and just crease those with your hand then put your
finger right on the outside here and push in to make another edge see that
you're making like another triangular edge and you're gonna do that on the
other side again pushing in with your fingers now don't worry if you've got
that little overlap over there I'm gonna show you what to do with that in just a
second so now you've got the whole bottom covered use your hand and make
some creases here and pull that up now if that overlap bothers you just fold
this little bit back from the edge there take one piece of tape fold this up put
it right in the middle where all of those angles meet so now we have to do
the other side so same thing push it down
but you've got this weird thing here so don't get too tense about
pushing it down too far what you want to do is just push it down then you want to
slowly and gently fold these edges in just like you did on the bottom
and then take a piece of tape hold this down and keep it and there you have it
you have your glue or any other awkwardly shaped package all nicely
neatly wrapped up and if you put a bow right up on top that'll just seal the
