BEFORE YOU START WRAPPING
Although wrapping can be presented in many different ways, there are fundamentally only threebasic patterns. When you want to select which one, take into consideration, the shape of the item, which occasion it will be used for, and the presentation you intend to create. It is important, therefore, to thoroughly know the characteristics of the three basic patterns.

TOOLS FOR WRAPPING
tools for wrapping SCISSORS

Used for cutting ribbons and wire.A sharp pair of scissors is necessary, especially for cutting ribbons. Besides straight cutting scissors, paper edging scissors ( zig zaged ) are useful too.

 CUTTER KNIFE

Used for cutting wrapping paper. Ones with longer blades are better. specialized exacto-knives can also be bought.
STAPLER

Used for making decoration bows and to close the opening of bags. Buy sturdy ones because we use it for stapling bulks.

 TAPES

Very convenient to have both scotch tape and double-coated tape. Double-coated tape is especially necessary for beautiful finishes.

 HOLE PUNCHER

Used when threading to tie a ribbon. one hole punchers are best to make the hole in the desired spot.

 WIRE

Used for making decoration ribbons, and to temporarily hold wrapping paper. Flexible wire, which can be twisted with fingers, is easy to handle.
