This easy and slow gift wrapping technique / tutorial will show you how to wrap a gift like they do at Japanese department stores. This Japanese gift wrapping hack allows you to wrap a gift in under 30 seconds and just 1 piece of tape (with practice of course! You'll always need to hold the gift down at all times in order to wrap a present with 1 piece of tape). There's an added hack or step that creates a slot in the gift wrap and allows you to put a hidden card in there too! :-)

In Japan, not only does the gift have value, the method of wrapping it also shows appreciation for the person it’s being gifted to. So the elaborate design and intricacy isn’t for wasting time or materials; it’s to show the receiver of the gift that they are valued.

@lapelirojapecosa5821 5 лет назад

Now I will feel guilty and I would never open that gift.

@echoing_waves 5 лет назад

PEOPLE!!! In Japan wrapping matters, it shows that you care about the person you’re giving it to, the wrapping is part of the present. Sure in America or wherever else you live you can just wrap your presents how you want, without “wasting paper”, in this video she is just showing how they do it in Japan, she by all means never said “you HAVE to wrap your presents like this!”. I find it incredibly stupid to say “oh well that’s wasting paper, and it takes to much time with to many steps” 1. She says in the video that “once you get it, it could take less than 30 seconds” and 2. That’s not even that many steps, to me it would definitely be worth those steps to make my presents look like that. I think this video was very helpful and I’m definitely going to try it this Christmas!^ - ^

They take the time to show the value of who they are giving a gift to by taking the time to wrap there gifts. Not paying someone to do it for them or just handing a gift card. None wasteful. Can be reused if no writing on package and opened just by they one piece of tape. I am definitely trying it for the holidays.

If you are careful, you can almost always reuse the wrapping paper. You have to be careful with the tape/unwrapping. Rewrapping requires that the next item is mostly the same size. It seems like it requires a box shape, too. The demonstrated way is really ingenious, and I have to try it out.

@arriannasanguine8335 5 лет назад

I.. always use one piece unless the box is larger than the paper I have. Honestly... this is much more complicated than what my mom taught me and uses an extra length of paper, which means more waste.. Sadly I don’t think it’s worth it. Except for the card slot.

For those that are salty about this, you don’t have to do it. In a lot of cultures and even just family values, presentation matters just as much as the gift and the best thing about this method is that it all comes out in one piece! Reduce reuse recycle (my family’s frugal, come at me) thank you for this tutorial!! :)

Though it MAY waste a little paper, it shows how the gift-giver REALLY CARES about how he/she wraps the present (s) which they are giving. 😍 Some or maybe even most people don't even CARE about how the "wrapping" looks. This is a wonderful video which shows how the gift-giver really actually CARES about how a present looks when the recipient receieves the present. To me, it shows how the "giver" is thinking MORE about their friends/family members by wrapping the gift very nicely! Great video - keep up the great "wrapping instructions" which, as I said before, show how the "giver" really actually cares about the present, presentation, and, recipient!!! I want to wrap my gifts like this from now on. Very "informative" video to me!!! Thanks, again.

Awww yassss~ ! That's me chrissy sorted! Ive been looking for something similar to this for ages. I remember this one thing I had from a giftstore in Japan and it was wrapped similarly in that the folds were completely different and it was nice and I know it took a bit more paper and had just a different style of wrapping. I loved it but could never replicate it. So the measurements and the different angles were so incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much :D Something I've wanted to learn for 12yrs. Subscribed can't wait to check out the rest of ur vids!

All you complaining, remember this is "just for demonstration purposes". The real thing would probably use a tiny fraction of that time and paper :P

Ha!! I counted over three times and thought well bless her heart she is so thorough!! We got it hun, it’s just for those purposes, it really made me chuckle because you could FEEL how she wanted to be understood, and I’ve yet to find all the negative comments everyone’s referring to, but I’m assuming people took umbrage with the perceived “waste”?! Ugh, what a silly thing to get cross over, as if regular wrapping isn’t wasteful!

@jodyjohnsen 5 лет назад

I thought this would be great, just what I wanted. It wasn’t. Then I thought it’s not what I hoped for anyway. I’ll find a different one. Then I watched the end and saw the pocket. Now I love it. I also wrap my packages with great care. A cheap wrap and plastic bows are unacceptable to me. A lovely wrap with handmade bows created to match the gift to the recipient. This instruction is perfect. And I’m looking forward to angled ribbon designed to accent that wonderful pocket. Thank you.

@GreatScot0425 5 лет назад

This is wonderful - so creative and 'arty'. Here in the U.S. we just stuff things into a bag, throw a piece of tissue paper on top, and call it a present. In Japan they take time and creativity to show how much they care for the person who is receiving the gift.

@jeremyshaferorigami 7 лет назад

I learned something new! I've wrapped so many gifts over the years, usually figuring out methods that require no tape, but I don't think I've done that exact technique. I like how you went about it. I notice at the end that there was on final flap (slightly torn from the tape) and one pocket..... so, couldn't you have just tucked the flap into the pocket, VOILA no tape?

@nosebleeder2279 5 лет назад

I know this is a year old, but she used the tape for instructional purposes. The only tape she really needed was the last one.

@CookieDiamond511 5 лет назад

@@nosebleeder2279 yes, but that's what he was talking about. we there was something that looked like a pocket where the last flap could've been tucked in, and the whole wrapping wouldn't require ANY tape at all

Excellent demonstration and instruction. I like that you make sure to show the fold, repetition is key of teaching, after you make it so it is very easy too see what you are doing. Viewer has less need to rewind the video. The result is perfect too.

@harleighbass7765 5 лет назад

This is so intricate. Then I read a comment about what detailed wrapping means in Japan and I think that is so sweet. I was so suprised by the card slot at the end. My friends and I usually wrap each other's gifts with layers of duck tape, seran wrap, secret notes, and paper to show how much we care (haha, it's all with fun and love, I promise) about each other, so now I want to add this cute method. Even for my normal wrapping.❤ Thank you, ma'am!🎄

@menarago423 5 лет назад

Yea I'm gonna just stick with what I know and waste paper lol it's a shame I know, BUT I recycle! I don't know how anyone thinks she's wasting paper when she measured lol....really and you think she's wasting?! Don't come wrap with me, because you'll see a lot of "wasted" paper I had to clip off and RECYCLE, because I didn't measure and just plopped the gift down ☺ My gifts do come out nice though so whatever. This is beautiful wrapping, BUT way too confusing for my already confused life 😂🤪 Wish I knew how to do it....maybe one day I'll put the time in. 💖 Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift wrapping technique.

I have to try this next time I wrap a gift. Sadly I found this on christmas day. The measuring is exactly how I did it when I worked in a shop where I did gift wrapping and only had a limited time to do it. The technique was different, but it had to be tight like this. Absolutely love how clear you explained each step and repeated it. The card pocket is just perfect especially for birthdays! Definately saved this vid so I can look back at it.
