| Steps | Details | Tips |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Measure and Cut | Cut wrapping paper to encircle the candle with ½ inch overlap and 2 inches excess on each end. | Use a ruler for precise cuts. |
| 2. Secure the Seam | Wrap the paper around the candle and tape the seam securely. | Double-sided tape gives a seamless look. |
| 3. Create Pleats | Fold the excess into pleats and secure them with tape or ribbon. | Fan the pleats outward for extra dimension. |
The fan fold technique is perfect for impressing someone special!
If your candle is going on a journey (hello, long-distance gifts!), don’t skimp on protection. Wrap it in bubble wrap or thick tissue paper first. Cellophane bags can also help protect against moisture while still showcasing your beautiful wrapping.
