Wrap tricks
If you have any last minute Christmas gifts to wrap, fear not, you’ve come to the right place.
We spoke to renowned gift wrapping expert Jo Clydesdale to answer some of your most asked gift wrapping questions.
Not all gifts come in the perfectly shaped box, leaving many of us stumped when it comes to wrapping them.
To make life easier, Jo explained: “A great way to wrap odd shapes, such as bottles or tubes of sweets, is with tissue and cellophane, gathering the tissue together, making upward pleats and tying with a ribbon.”
She also said that larger gifts can be challenging, as she added: “Depending on the size, this normally means I tape multiple sheets of paper together for it to fit the size of the gift.”
