How to Make a Paper Present

Tips

  • If you actually want to place a gift inside the cube, do not tape all sides completely. Leave the bottom edge of one side unfastened so it can swing open.
  • Try taping all parts of the bow together, at its center, to minimize the use of tape.
  • For aesthetic reasons, make sure the adhesive tape is not visible! Try using double-sided tape and then tape from inside. If not, gently fold a strip of adhesive tape and place it under the bow to make it less apparent. Repeat multiple times for extra strength. When you do fold, cut the strip into pieces that are smaller than the bow.

Warnings

  • Make sure your gift is very light – light enough to be carried on paper. If not, your paper cube will tear!
  • Don’t tape all sides before you place your gift inside the box.
