This Japanese Gift Wrapping Method Will Blow Your Mind

Getting the presents is stressful enough at Christmastime, but wrapping them takes it to a whole new level. You don't realize you didn't cut enough paper till the thing is half wrapped with a full role of Scotch tape on it. Or, there's way too much paper and the earrings you bought now look like a bowling ball.

You never want a bunch of janky looking gifts under the tree, but spending hours perfectly wrapping Martha Stewart style is not happening.

Well, it turns out Japan has a better way. You can find videos of people quickly wrapping pristine gifts in Japanese stores, but they're so good at it, it's hard to figure out the method.

Yep, that wrapping is awesome and on point and seems like we would never be able to do it. It's all amazing folds and like almost no tape at all. The present looks so nice, you don't even need ribbons and bows. Just packaged perfection.

A new Youtube video is here to save the day! Under the channel BeattheBush, the Youtuber breaks is down for us. 

Turns out you don't have to master any origami arts, it's really a matter of just a couple strategic folds. Half the battle is cutting the right sized paper and wrapping on the diagonal. Also, if you look close, you'll see he never places tape on the actual item itself, he's always taping paper to paper, in case you don't want your box ruined.

Even though this video is super helpful, it will still take you a few times to master. So, don't try this on your daughter's big gift. She might end up getting a wrinkled, weird nightmare.

After a few tries though, this technique is pretty bomb. You use less tape, which means it's easier to open, especially for little kids. Plus, it's neat and tidy every time.

If you're an awesome wrapper as it is, just keep doing you. But if you need a little help in this Christmas department, this video is well worth a try. 

Or just put all the presents in bags and call it a day.
