wrapping presents
 
I cant be the only person who has trouble making there chrismas or even birthday presents look neatly wrapped, ive seen other peoples presents wrapped and they have all the tape laid neatly with the design on the paper going one way and neatly taping up the ends, mine always look like a small bomb has gone off inside the paper!:blush:

it helps to disguise what is in present. but then sometimes it could be a bomb!!!!

The best thing I ever did for a present was to use steel reinforced plaster bandages.My friend needed almost an hour to unwrap.

I put everything in boxes or them giftbag things. I can't stand trying to wrap things like clothes as the bloody paper always rips :mad:.

Tin foil works a treat, no tape required.

Half a roll of gaffa tape then i went round it with a stanley knife so it only came off in small strips when it did, must have taken about the same amount of time :thumbsup:

Should if used a full roll lol, woud of taken longer, then you could put some papeer mashay (or however you spell it?) round it,then put it in aa cardbaoard box, covered in gaffa tape, then put it in a safe with a coded lock with the code hidden in the house somewhere and give them clues to find the code to open it, or is that a bit much?:D
