How to wrap books

Wrapping books is a great way to protect them or make them look nice for gifting. Here's a simple guide:

1. Materials Needed
Wrapping paper or any decorative paper of your choice
Scissors
Tape
Optional: ribbon or decorative elements like stickers or labels

2. Measure and Cut
Lay the book on the wrapping paper, leaving enough paper on each side to cover the book completely when folded.
Cut the paper according to the size of the book, adding a couple of inches extra on each side for folding.

3. Fold and Secure
Place the book in the center of the paper. Fold one side of the paper over the book and secure it with tape.
Repeat with the other side, making sure the paper is snug around the book but not too tight to damage it.

4. Fold the Ends
Fold the top and bottom edges of the paper neatly over the book's edges. Crease the edges for a clean look.
Secure the folds with tape.

5. Optional Decorations
If you want to add extra flair, tie a ribbon around the book. You can also add stickers or labels for a personalized touch.

6. Finishing Touches
Trim any excess paper or tape for a neat finish.
If you're giving the book as a gift, you can attach a gift tag or write a message directly on the wrapping paper.

That's it! Your book is now wrapped and ready to be enjoyed or gifted.
