To fold tissue paper for a gift, fold each side of the tissue paper into the middle, then grab the pointed bottom and twist it together. Place the tissue paper in a gift bag for a beautiful presentation.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how to fold tissue paper for a gift, suitable for gift bags:
-
Gather your Materials: You will need tissue paper sheets (usually 2-4 sheets depending on the desired fullness) and your gift bag.
-
Stack the Tissue Paper: Lay the tissue paper sheets on top of each other. You can alternate colors for a more visually appealing look.
-
Accordion Fold (Optional Variation 1):
- Start by folding the tissue paper about 1-2 inches over.
- Flip the tissue paper over and fold the same width in the opposite direction.
- Continue accordion folding until you have folded the entire length of the tissue paper.
- Pinch in the middle of the tissue paper and add a wire or decorative ribbon.
- Fluff the two sides of the tissue paper upwards.
-
Triangle Fold (Optional Variation 2):
- Fold the tissue paper lengthwise in half to form a rectangle.
- Fold the corners in to meet each other at the centerline
- Fold the tissue paper in half to form a triangle.
- Fluff the sides of the triangle outwards.
-
Placement in Gift Bag: Place the folded tissue paper inside the gift bag, ensuring the "fluffed" or decorative parts are facing upwards and are visible above the gift.
-
Adjust for Appearance: Adjust the tissue paper so it looks balanced and visually appealing in relation to the gift bag and the gift inside. You can pull some of the tissue paper up higher than others to create varying heights and a more dynamic look.
By following these steps, you can elevate the presentation of your gift with beautifully folded tissue paper.
