I DID IT. I DID IT. I LIGITAMATLY DID IT. NO JOKE, I DIDN'T EVEN USE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. I AM THE BESTTTTT.

POST THE TUTORIAL HOW DID YOU DO IT?? I KEEP RIPPING THE PAPER

[@3Faidonas3]

@@catonfire5010 this video... is the tutorial... Maybe get some stronger wrapping paper?

This is a great tutorial. No chatter, no grating music, clear instructions with demonstrations.

[@donnamahar5163]

I had 5 gifts that were odd shaped. Wasn't sure what to do with them. I found this video and tried it. It was fun to do them. Then I just embellished them however I liked. So cute. Thanks!!

[@justincoals3751]

0:10 What they fail to mention in this tutorial is that you need significant excess of wrapping paper for the length since you will use that to create the bottom of the bag and all the top folds. And you need a thick/dense , high quality paper, otherwise, the thinner, cheaper papers will not hold this shape and they will tear easily. My experience? I've tried this a few times.

[@yohaidaacosta-hernandez7796]

justin coals I don’t think it needs to be mentioned if it’s something obvious.

[@rrose18]

Worked with thinner paper also. Tried it

[@peabean8755]

Yohaida Acosta-Hernandez actually this comment was pretty hopeful

[@jasmineyoung1319]

... i bought wrapping paper from the dollar tree.. and it worked just fine

[@Cre8tive_Always]

It worked for me. Just a tip the shiny paper holds its shape better than matte. I got mine from dollar tree. Happy wrapping! 👋

[@louisedeleu3667]

I come back to this video year after year around Christmas time. Amazing technique!

[@deliaboxy623]

This looked so easy, BUT IT WASNT

[@munazah9838]

Hahaa

[@amandajones2958]

Really how was it hard? Honestly just curious what you had trouble with. Cause I watched the video and made it in under a min an a half.

[@herlenexyleenaadovas9079]

It's easy though, i learned this at my Art Class.

[@ElectricMuppet]

I just did this with a life size, huge stuffed wolf and I am beyond proud of myself 🥲 Thank you for uploading this!!

SO the answer is to just make a gift bag out of wrapping paper...

[@tonantzin1445]

You’re the mvp for saving me two minutes ☺️✨

[@kimberly8040]

Yup

[@JaYdYn_29]

Lmao

[@sylviacrowe2117]

Yes it’s basically a bag but it’s more fun for kids to rip open the paper then just pull it out of a bag. ❤️

[@itsmesteve1081]

If you don't have double sided tape just fold your tape into a cylinder similar to a toilet paper roll with the sticky part on the outside. It will act like a pseudo double sided tape

[@bingbing4332]

Hey Steve

[@dandefish]

Thanks,

[@dbomb-db]

Thanks Steve!

[@poophead1503]

Thank you Steve, oh my god

[@lets_wrapitup]

I learnt that from mr maker

[@bionicle37]

NOBODY FUCKEN HAS DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE Thanks for the video though, it really helped

[@emilytalbert7690]

Jaka Jeršin BAhahahahhaha

[@peng2732]

I have double sided tape

[@Luckingsworth]

Double sided tape... just use single sided tape and roll it over itself. Voila.

[@chocolateberries8884]

Same feels

[@annonimooseq1246]

I honestly expected to see “NEW Martha Stewart double sided tape!” At the end

[@MrAngadhanoa]

I find myself coming back to this video over and over again. Amazing video.

[@patriciatautai8121]

One thing for sure, if you are going to make gift bags, make sure its heavy stock paper. Tried it with regular wrap and it shapes up but tears pretty easy.

[@peabean8755]

I have 12+ gifts to give and I didn’t want to waste money buying boxes for them and they were too small to just use a shoe box so this is such a life saver!

[@absolutely1nothing]

i legibly cut out random pieces of cereal boxes and glue/tape them together to make a box bc i got no skill to do this 💀

[@LolaChocolate]

WAIT THAT IS ACTUALLY SO SMART@@absolutely1nothing

[@aplusjba]

I used craft paper and created a tag to hang off a hole punch up top of the bag, along with a hanging chocolate ornament. Super nice looking.

[@Mr.Bhoite]

It helped me a-lot to wrap odd-shaped objects. Thank you for this lovely idea.

[@Zinnias2278]

The diagonal part KILLED me

[@amelka_sto_]

I come back to this video every Christmas haha ♥️🎄

[@agga1209]

Mine worked out fine with dollar tree wrapping paper, I did not have double sided tape so I used regular clear scotch tape. Who cares if you can see the tape if you look closely, the packaging will be all ripped off anyways. :)

[@Edwin-xs3fb]

ANG Chino so true ma’am! I never stress on the type of tape I use, as long as it sticks it works!

[@arexoak9989]

Gracias Señora Martha, me ha salvado esta navidad.

[@asthaqlafeer]

Thanks for the viddie! Helped me a lot. ❤

[@sofezra]

thank you so much ❤

[@jedivanrooyen9614]

Can we all take some time to appreciate how those lines linden up at the base of the bag

[@123analovely]

ok i am so ... that i had to see it three times .. thankyou i was really needing this

[@alexanderperez2732]

This is cool, but I just buy a box for odd shaped gifts. Looks more pleasing to me in a square shape lol

[@tvdan1043]

Okay so if this middle-aged guy can figure this out from the video, anybody can! My first attempt wasn't the prettiest thing ever, but it got better on the second one. Thanks Martha!

[@bluemonkszz70]

Thank you:> it was my first time wrapping a gift since the person Imma give it to is that special.

[@moaengene-r8u]

This is the only gift wrap that i was able to do properly on the first try.

[@pboyd8354]

ohhhhh THAT is too cool for words! Thank you!!

Thank you!! This is just what I needed. And straight to the point. ❤

[@digitalis-y9h]

My country is in lockdown so I can't go to the stores to get a giftbox or bag, this is the perfect solution! It looks very charming too. Thanks!

[@extremelyhappysimmer]

Double sided tape is the bomb. I never wrap without it.

[@munazah9838]

Is it ok on the wall? I mean does it ruin your wall paint when removed? That double sided tape...

[@hopelove4027]

Just made this for a soccer ball and it held up really nicely

[@gentidrini]

Oh if u want u can wrap it as a treat

[@cheez5577]

This video actually helped a lot, so thank you! :)

[@notjanie2320]

I guess it doesn’t work for harder objects?? I wasted hours trying to make this bag twice with some cute wrapping paper. and it looked fine. Then I put my sons present in it and it looked awful and worse than my normal wrapping skills😭😂 there were no clean lines and corners of the box were poking out all over the place. I’ll just settle for an ugly looking gift bag 😭😭

[@phionaphoo]

You can fold the paper first for it to be thicker and sturdier?

[@finjie]

Maybe put cardboard on these base first?

[@cliffavenuerestoration]

Did you make this wrap to put a box that could have been wrapped in it?

[@Babyyoda.artistian]

Perhaps you could buy an ugly gift bag, cut and tape the wrapping paper on the front & back sides of the bag? I hope this helps you! Merry Christmas!

[@codesachi4631]

Thank you a lot! ❤

[@soochung4626]
