Diagonal Gift Wrapping

  • Here is how to determine the size of paper needed.
    Using traditional method, a 9"x6"x4.5" box will need a piece of 29"x23" gift wrap paper.
    Using my method, choose the smallest side to be the height (4.5"). Then measure the length of the diagonal of the 9"x6" rectangle (works out to be about 11" in this case). Take the diagonal length and add 2 times the height (11+2x4.5) to get 20". So a 20"x20" paper will do the job instead of the 23"x29" needed for the traditional method.

    Thank you for explaining how much paper to use. All the other viral videos going around this week are just showing us someone doing it in record time, but you took time to explain, simply, how to cut the paper and line it up with the box. I really appreciate that. I'm glad I found your video because I was having trouble with the first step or setting the gift on the paper. Happy Christmas!

    • @mayfung3433
      @mayfung3433 Před 9 lety +9

      Hi, Dorrie, thank you for watching our video. Since we did not expect our video would be so popular, we did not plan well to include the measurement. Let me give you an example here by using a 9" L, 6" W, and 4.5" height box. If using the traditional method, it will require a 29" x 23" paper (I measured around the box both length wise and width wise and added 2' on each side). When using our diagonal method, you measure the 9"Lx6"W side diagonally and in this case, it will be about 11", you then add the height x 2, which is 4.5"x2, that would yield 20", that should be your gauge and usually you can subtract 2" for the other side, so a 20" x 18" paper would be enough for this 9"x6"x4.5" box. If you want to play it safe, you can always use 20"x20", it will be plenty. I always cut it pretty close to kind of show my skill - because after all, it is about saving paper. It can also be for decorative reason when you want to set a striped pattern diagonally - have fun! Thank you again! May
