Place the wrapping paper face down on the table and place the gift on top.Cut the paper to size. Make sure it can wrap around with at least an inch extra. Then on the other side, if it’s a box you want the sides to be just smaller than the height of the box. If the item is flat like this dog toy, you want roughly an inch on each side.
