Using packing tissue paper is straightforward and enhances the presentation of gifts and protects delicate items during storage or shipping. Here's how:
Using Tissue Paper for Gift Wrapping
Tissue paper adds a decorative touch and provides cushioning when wrapping gifts.
- Preparing the Tissue Paper: Lay a sheet of tissue paper on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
- Creating Volume and Texture: Place your thumb and forefinger in the center of the tissue paper and gently lift it. According to provided reference, you can give a flick of your wrist and use your other hand to straighten out the tissue paper after lifting from the center. This creates a pleasing ruffled effect.
- Placing in a Gift Bag: Place the prepared tissue paper inside the gift bag, on top of the gift. Arrange it so that the ruffles are visible and create an attractive display.
Using Tissue Paper for Protecting Items
Tissue paper can also protect fragile items during moving or storage.
- Wrapping: Wrap individual fragile items such as ornaments or glassware completely in tissue paper to prevent scratches and breakage.
- Cushioning: Use crumpled tissue paper to fill empty spaces in boxes, providing cushioning and preventing items from shifting during transport.
