If you're tired of giving people lumpy, less-than-perfectly-wrapped presents these tips will help you step up your wrapping game.<br />1. Choose busier patterns.<br />"Mixed patterns hide a lot of messy wrapping work if you don't have the time or patience to make it look seamless." Lauren Decker, owner of The Curated NY.<br /><br />2. Get professional cutting tools or at least sharp scissors.<br />Having the proper tools will make cutting straight lines a breeze.<br /><br />3. Use double-sided tape.<br />"Invisible seams are possible by taping the side of the paper to the very edge of the present, then wrapping around [the gift]. Use double-stick tape to keep it in place." Lauren Decker, owner of The Curated NY.<br /><br />4. Add toppers to your gifts.<br />Not only does it spruce up the gift and makes it seem more professional, but it also detracts from any wrapping mishaps.<br /><br />5. Use lots of tissue paper.<br />Tissue paper adds a professional touch and makes the process of unwrapping longer, which is half the fun!
