Fold the last 1/2 inch of paper and press down with your fingers to create a clean edge. This will create a tight fold and clean the seam. You can fold the top side down and then flip it over.

You can tie ribbons around each end. This will make a long tube, which can be rolled to give as a gift.

A tip on Tape
Double-sided tape will ensure a clean seam. This is particularly important when wrapping boxes and cylinders. The tape can easily tear through paper.

For many gift items, including stuffed toys and clothing, it's important to wrap them in a box. This will help protect your gift from shipping damage and ensure it is safe.
These types of gift boxes can be bought at the same departmental shop aisle that you buy your wrapping paper. You can also make your own using shoeboxes left over from your previous jobs.
