Gift wrapping tips
Creating beautiful wrapping might feel a bit overwhelming, but fear not! Curlicue are here to help. Here are a few tips to make it easy for you to wrap gifts in way that is quick, easy and will impress your loved ones.
Use double-sided tape
Double-sided tape is a gift wrapper's secret weapon. It helps you get a neat finish on your wrapped gifts, and best of all, our eco-craft double sided tape is plastic-free and biodegrades.
With our eco-tape you can easily tear it (which means no more sticky scissors), press down onto the paper and then peel the other side off using the finger-lift excess. Press the other side of the wrap on and voila!
Gift Bags
Our favourite wrap is a quick and easy gift bag. Not only do they look fantastic, but they are quick and easy to make once you've got the hang of them.
Best for:
- Small to medium gifts
- Awkwardly shaped gifts
What you need:
- A sheet of Curlicue wrapping paper (we recommend rolled sheets so that there aren't any additional crease lines, but folded works too!)
- Plastic-free double sided tape
- Scissors
Nice to have:
- Twine
- Swing tags
- Hole punch

Origami Bows
Making an Origami Bow is the perfect way to add a special touch to your gift and use up offcuts of wrapping paper to reduce waste (and they can be reused! Just use some of our double-sided eco tape to attach it to the gift and remove before you recycle the wrap).
