Step 1: Gather your materials
First things first, you’ll need a heart-shaped box (obviously), wrapping paper, scissors, tape, and some ribbon or twine. You can use any type of wrapping paper, but I personally think a solid color or a cute pattern would work best for this design.
Step 2: Measure and cut the wrapping paper
Lay out your wrapping paper on a flat surface and place your heart-shaped box on top of it. Make sure the box is centered and then cut the paper, leaving about 2–3 inches of excess paper on each side.
Step 3: Cut and Fold the Paper
After measuring and placing your heart-shaped box on the wrapping paper, cut the excess paper into strips, extending from the edges of the box. Here’s the twist – take those cut strips on the sides, fold them inwards, and secure each strip with tape.
Step 4: Top It Off
But here’s the extra touch – grab another heart-shaped piece of wrapping paper, ensuring it’s slightly bigger than the box itself. Place this heart-shaped paper on top of the box, aligning it perfectly, and secure it with tape.
Step 5: Create the bow
Now, take your ribbon or twine and cut a long piece. Wrap it around the box, crossing it in the center, and tie a knot to secure it. Then, take the ends of the ribbon and tie them into a bow. You can also add a cute gift tag or a small flower to the bow for an extra touch.
And there you have it, a beautifully wrapped heart-shaped box that will surely make your loved one’s heart skip a beat.
