How to: Wrap a Cylindrical Present

G'day, Crafty Minions! I hope you are all alright and I just want to say a quick apology for missing Tip Top Tuesday last week! I thought it seemed a little odd but I thought it was this week! I promise I will do something meaty :) PLUS there is something a little exciting I'm planning, especially for you :D

So for my parents anniversary, I brought them a few gifts and one of them was this computer air cleaner thingy for my dad. As you can see, its a weird shape. How would you wrap this??

Well, I'll show you! :)
This is what you'll need:
               
Wrapping paper                        
Sellotape                            
Card                          
Scissors                           
and a pencil!

Sorry for the awful lighting and quality!
1. Draw around the bottom of the cylindrical present twice onto the card. Cut them out.


Aw man! They just keep getting worse! Sorry :(
                           
2. Place your gift onto the wrapping paper and roll it over once. This will give you an idea of how much is need to wrap the whole thing. Add an inch or two to overlap plus two inches top and bottom, depending on how big your gift is. Cut it out.

 
 
3. Next, fold an inch over on the top and bottom of the wrapping paper and cut little slits into it, like you would if you were lining a circular cake tin.



4. Wrap up the present and secure with tape.


5. Fold the tabs over on the ends, which is now much easier to do with the slits in, and tap securely.

6. Lastly, make a loop out of sellotape (a cheats version of double sided sticky tape, which of course you could use) and stick it onto one of the card circles. Then stick that onto the top of the gift, to cover up the end. Repeat with the second card circle and the bottom.
 

 
Du-du-loo Ta-daaa!! You're done! One neatly wrapped cylindrical pressie!
 
 
There you go! That was really easy, wasn't it? :)
 
Let me know if you have wrapped a present using this tutorial. I'd really like to hear if it's useful.
 
Don't forget, now you can follow me on Bloglovin' to make sure you don't miss a thing! There's some exciting stuff coming :)

Tip Top Tuesdays #4

Hello there! This Tip Top Tuesday caught me out by surprise, I can't believe how fast 2 weeks goes by!

Today's Top Tip is a very quick one and it is something I worked on today. My crafty corner was getting a bit loaded down with rolls of wallpaper and wrapping paper shoved everywhere and, to be honest, it was driving me crazy because I have a kind of OCD when it comes to organisation. I'm not a very tidy person but I have to be organised, everything has to have its place. So naturally, I needed somewhere to store all these rolls of paper. And this is what I came up with:


Store wrapping paper and wallpaper rolls in a circular bin!
 
It's that simple and it looks really neat and you can see all the rolls you have and how much you have.
 
As you can see I have a roll of brown paper which, I must add, is essential in anyone's craft room. Presents always look better in it because its not fancy and it makes the gift even more of a surprise. Plus, it can be glammed up with ribbon, sparkles, or stamps. Sorry, just thought I'd get that in there!! :D 
 
Thanks for reading and I'll catch you soon with another How To!
