Christmas Wrapping Tips: How to Wrap a Large Gift

The holidays are a busy time of year. After you complete all of the shopping, comes the task of wrapping all the gifts. Wrapping a large Christmas present can pose a special challenge, but with a little creativity you can find Christmas wrapping materials that provide use even after the holidays are over.

Wrapping Tips: Cozy Blankets are Ideal for Wrapping a Large Christmas Present

Instead of using traditional Christmas wrapping paper to attempt to wrap a large present, consider purchasing a cozy fleece blanket to use as wrapping for a large present. Not only will you save non-recyclable wrapping paper from the landfill, you'll also provide your recipient with a blanket they can use throughout the year. To use a blanket as material for wrapping a large Christmas present, you will need a large fleece blanket, rubber band, and ribbon. Place the item to be wrapped in the middle of the blanket. Pull each end of the blanket upwards and place the rubber band around the ends of the blanket to hold it in place. Give the package the finishing touches by tying colorful ribbon around the top of the gift.

Create Your Own Christmas Wrapping to Use for Wrapping a Large Christmas Present

A stop to any store close to the holidays will reveal aisles stocked with Christmas wrapping in all colors and styles, but none large enough to wrap large gifts like golf clubs or bikes. One affordable option for wrapping large presents is to use large contractor 55-gallon size bags. These are available at most hardware stores. These large bags serve as an affordable option for quickly wrapping a large Christmas present or odd-shaped gifts. To wrap a large gift, place the item inside the bag. Use a rubber band to secure the top of the bag. Trim off the top of the bag if necessary. Then use decorative ribbon to tie around the top of the bag. You can then decorate the outside of the bag with colorful holiday stickers or use different color tape to create a decorative pattern on the gift. After the gift is opened it can be used to collect all the trash from other presents.

How to Wrap a Large Gift Using Vinyl Table Cloth

Instead of using several pieces of Christmas wrapping to wrap a large gift, consider using a vinyl table cloth. You can find a variety of colors, decorative themes and sizes which makes vinyl table cloths ideal for wrapping a large Christmas present. To wrap a large gift, place the gift in the center of the table cloth. If the table cloth is too big, trim accordingly. Wrap the present as you would with Christmas wrapping. Once the gift is unwrapped, the vinyl Christmas wrapping can be used as a paint drop cloth, table covering or working surface for completing craft projects.

With a little creativity, wrapping a large Christmas present is easy. Use materials you have around your home or pick up supplies at a local discount, party or hardware store to wrap a large gift. You can make large Christmas presents look great by adding your own personal touch, decorations and details.
