Learn how to wrap Christmas gifts with Glass Ornaments Gift Wrap, from measuring and folding to protecting fragile presents and finishing with a polished bow.

Quick answer

Wrap your gift with Glass Ornaments Gift Wrap by cutting a sheet large enough to overlap the box by about two inches on every side, folding the long edges first, and finishing with sharp creases and a low-profile bow. For fragile items, add a cushioning layer and keep the ornament print visible rather than covering it with heavy embellishments.

Why the ornament print changes your approach

Glass Ornaments Gift Wrap is printed on 70# opaque stock, so the paper is sturdy enough to hold a crisp fold but still folds cleanly at the corners. The hand-illustrated ornament pattern is the main event, which means your wrapping should frame the print rather than compete with it. Keep ribbon narrow, avoid busy tags, and let the paper do the visual work.

Because each sheet measures 20 by 29 inches, you can wrap most small to medium boxes without splicing two sheets together. That single-sheet coverage matters for fragile gifts: fewer seams mean fewer weak points where the paper can tear or gap.

When to add extra protection for fragile gifts

The paper itself is not padded, so it will not cushion a bauble or a glass ornament on its own. If you are wrapping something breakable, wrap the item first in tissue or bubble wrap, then place it in a box that leaves at least an inch of clearance on all sides. This keeps the ornament print smooth and prevents sharp edges from poking through the 70# stock.

For very irregular shapes, such as a loose bauble or a small figurine, a box is almost always easier to wrap neatly than the object itself. If you must wrap the object directly, use two layers of paper and avoid pulling tightly across curves.

Step-by-step wrapping process

Measure and cut the paper: Place the box face down on the unprinted side of the paper and bring the long edges together over the center. Trim so the edges overlap by about two inches, then fold back a half-inch hem along one long edge for a straight guide. Common mistake: cutting too close to the box, which leaves no room for overlap and causes gaps at the seam. Always cut on the unprinted side so pencil marks or creases do not show on the ornament print.
Wrap the long seam first: Center the box on the paper, bring one long edge to the middle, secure it with a small piece of tape, then bring the hemmed edge over it and tape along the full length. Run your thumb along the seam to flatten it. Checkpoint: the paper should lie flat without pulling the box out of shape. Use double-sided tape on the hem if you want a seamless look with no visible tape on the ornament print.
Fold the ends into clean triangles: At each short end, press the paper flat against the box side, fold the top flap down, and crease the two corners into triangles before folding them inward. Tape the center flap last. Common mistake: folding the corners before creasing them, which creates bulky lumps under the paper. Crease every fold with your thumbnail or a bone folder before taping; sharp creases are what make the 70# stock look crisp.
Add cushioning for fragile contents: Before sealing the final flap, slide a layer of tissue or bubble wrap around the item inside the box, or wrap the item separately before boxing. Shake the box gently; if the contents move, add more filler. Checkpoint: nothing should shift when you turn the box over. For a bauble or glass ornament, double-box it: a small inner box padded with tissue, then the gift box wrapped in Glass Ornaments Gift Wrap.
Finish with a low-profile bow: Tie a narrow ribbon around the box in one direction, then cross it underneath and tie a second bow on top. Trim the tails at an angle. Avoid heavy bows or oversized tags that hide the ornament print. Common mistake: pulling the ribbon so tight that it dents the paper corners. If the gift will travel, skip the bow and use a flat ribbon band secured with double-sided tape; it survives packing better.

Product facts

Glass Ornaments Gift Wrap: Includes three sheets of gift wrap, each measuring 20 by 29 inches, printed on 70# opaque stock. Three sheets give you enough paper for multiple gifts or a second attempt, and the opaque stock resists show-through so the print stays clean.
