You are correct @fervent66, But the person receiving the gift has no doubt that the giver went out of the way to do something nice for them. Isn't that what giving gifts at Christmas is all about? In our home, we do rip the paper off but thats part of the fun.
It's not for everyone... but it does work for some.. my family included. I would like to challenge you to try it and see if it doesn't make a difference in both your attitude as you give your gifts, and in the people receiving them ;-) RR

fingerpressing........... we call that " creasing " in origami. I've always been really good at supreme gift wrapping ( even w/o tape ) ~ but I really have enjoyed your other video ( on bow making ) because the ribbon/bow part just GETS me every single time!

It also helps if you use nice, thick paper

Love it! I'm gonna try this out tomorrow - and I'll be using double tape - it's probably gonna look a lot better! Merry Christmas from Germany ♥

Rebecca: I LOVE a beautifully-wrapped present & have a permanent "wrapping station" in my home with paper, ribbon & embellishments at the ready. One of my "can't live without" tips to make beautiful packages without raw edges or tape showing is to have a double-wide tape dispenser from an office supply. They are weighted so you have your regular tape and double-sided tape side by side without having to stop & use both hands-like with the little plastic disposable tape dispensers. Enjoy my tip!

OMG I love your background!!!

Wow! You are awesome. The neatest gift wrapping video I have seen so far. You've got a fabulous looking home!

I normally use a glue stick.
But your idea using a double face tape, is not only clever.
It's cleaner and faster. Thanks Rebecca for the tip. Claudette.

Thanks for the tips. Great video!
I started my career (it was a seasonal job when I was in college) as a gift wrapper at an exclusive store.
This is exactly how we would wrap presents. I would add, know what type of bow and placement you are going to do BEFORE you start to wrap your gift. If the paper has a design to it that you will be wanting to highlight, make sure the placement of the highlighted design feature is exactly aligned on the bottom (err, top) of the package so that when you turn it over - :D

Hi @McKennahLane , You are exactly right in fact I thought about redoing this video to hit that point... Maybe next year :-) But you're right. If the Paper you buy has a large center figure, cut your paper so the deign is lined up perfectly when you complete the package. In this case, I often do a fabulous wired ribbon around the outside instead of on top so I don't cover the spectacular design I painstakingly placed so well. When placed on its side, looks like a bow on tip of your head :-)

@PeopletewPerson I buy paper from many sources... as I find it. I think this paper was purchased from Target. They always have beautiful paper. I also find AMAZING PAPER at the Create and Barrel. Their paper this year was out of this world! I bought up as much as I could the day after Christmas!
