Wrapping an eyeshadow palette is a simple process that can make your gift look polished and professional. Based on common wrapping techniques, particularly for flat items like makeup palettes, the key is to secure the paper neatly around the object.
Wrapping Steps for an Eyeshadow Palette
To wrap an eyeshadow palette effectively, follow these steps:
Prepare Your Palette and Paper
- Begin by laying out your chosen wrapping paper on a flat surface.
- Face your gift downwards: Place the eyeshadow palette face down onto the center of the wrapping paper. Ensure you have enough paper on all sides to completely cover the palette.
Secure the Main Body
- Get your double-sided tape: Double-sided tape provides a clean finish as it hides the adhesive.
- Pull the paper up and over the palette from one side, bringing it tightly against the back of the palette.
- Pull the paper from the opposite side over to meet the first edge.
- Join the gift: Overlap the edges of the paper and use your double-sided tape to secure them together along the back of the palette. Try to center as possible to ensure even paper distribution around the gift.
- Pull in the paper tight: As you secure the seam, make sure the paper is pulled taut around the palette to create a snug fit with no slack.
Wrap the Sides
- Once the main body is secured, turn your attention to the open ends of the palette.
- At each end, flatten the paper against the sides of the palette, creating flaps.
- Fold the top flap down against the palette's end, creating neat triangle folds on the sides.
- Fold the bottom flap up over the top flap, securing it with double-sided tape.
- Repeat this process for the other end of the palette. This helps you wrap the sides so you've got even coverage and a clean finish.
By following these steps, you can easily wrap an eyeshadow palette, creating a beautifully presented gift.
