I. Choosing the Right Glitter Wrapping Paper

When it comes to selecting glitter wrapping paper, there is a wide variety to choose from.

Glitter wrapping paper comes in different colors, each suitable for various occasions. For example, if you are wrapping gifts for a birthday party, bright and cheerful colors such as pink glitter wrapping paper, glitter yellow wrapping paper, or blue glitter wrapping paper can add fun and festive atmosphere. On the other hand, for more formal events such as weddings or anniversaries, more elegant and softer colors such as gold glitter wrapping paper, glitter silver wrapping paper or purple glitter wrapping paper are ideal.

Wrapping paper with glitter can also have different types of glitter. Some papers have fine, subtle glitter that gives a soft, understated sparkle. This is great for a more refined look. Others have large, chunky glitter that makes a bold and eye catching statement. If you want your gift to really stand out in a crowd, the latter might be the perfect choice.

Glitter christmas wrapping paper is specifically designed for the holiday season. It often features Christmas themed elements along with the glitter, such as snowflakes, reindeer, or Christmas trees. Using this type of paper during the Christmas time can instantly set the festive mood. For glitter Christmas wrapping paper, you can choose gold glitter wrapping paper, glitter silver wrapping paper, green glitter wrapping paper, or glitter red wrapping paper.

Pink glitter wrapping paper is a popular choice, especially for gifts for girls or for feminine themed events. The soft and pretty pink color combined with the glitter makes it a very charming option.

II. Preparing the Gift and the Workspace

Before you start wrapping with glitter paper, it's important to prepare both the gift and your workspace.

1.Preparing the Gift

First, make sure the gift is in a presentable state. If it's a box, smooth out any wrinkles or folds on the box. If the gift is an irregular shape, you might want to consider putting it in a gift bag or a box that is more easily wrapped. You can also add some tissue paper inside the box to make it look more full and luxurious.

2.Preparing the Workspace

Keep all packaging supplies within easy reach, such as glitter wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbons, and bows. 

III. The Basic Wrapping Technique

1.Measuring the Paper

Place the gift in the center of the glitter wrapping paper. Measure how much paper you need by extending the paper over the gift on all sides. You should have enough paper to cover the gift completely with some extra on each end for folding. As a general rule, add about 2 - 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) of extra paper on each side.

2.Folding the Sides

Once you've cut the appropriate amount of paper, lift one side of the paper over the gift and smooth it down. Then, do the same for the opposite side. Make sure the paper is tight against the gift and there are no wrinkles. Use tape to secure the paper on the sides.

3.Folding the Ends

For the ends of the gift, fold in the sides first to create a triangular flap. Then, fold the top part of the end down over the gift and secure it with tape. This will create a neat and professional looking finish.

IV. Adding Decorative Elements

1.Ribbons and Bows

Ribbons are a classic addition to any wrapped gift. You can choose a ribbon that complements the color of the glitter wrapping paper. For example, if you're using a silver glitter paper, a white or light blue ribbon can look very elegant. Tie a simple bow on top of the gift or create a more elaborate ribbon design, such as a cross hatched pattern around the gift.

2.Glitter Accents

To enhance the glittery effect, you can add additional glitter accents. You can use glue pens to draw patterns on the gift wrap and then sprinkle on some loose glitter. This could be in the form of stars, hearts, or any other shape that suits the occasion. Let the glue dry completely before handling the gift to prevent the glitter from falling off.

3.Charms and Embellishments

Attach small charms or embellishments to the gift. This could be a small keychain, a miniature ornament, or a decorative tag. These can add a personal touch to the gift and make it even more special.

V. Wrapping Irregular Shaped Gifts

Wrapping irregular shaped gifts with glitter paper can be a bit more challenging, but it's definitely doable.

1.For Cylindrical Gifts

For gifts like a bottle of wine or a tube, start by rolling the glitter paper around the cylinder. Overlap the edges slightly and secure with tape. Then, fold the ends in a similar way as you would for a box, creating triangular flaps and folding them down to secure.

2.For Soft or Shapeless Gifts

If you're wrapping something soft like a scarf or a sweater, you can first roll it up tightly. Then, wrap the glitter paper around the rolled - up item. You can use a ribbon to tie it in place and add a bow for a more finished look.

VI.Tips for Perfect Shining Packaging

1.Working with Glitter Dust

When cutting and processing glitter paper, some glitter may peel off slightly. Use a small brush or cotton roller to clean the glitter on the work surface and surrounding area. This will keep your workspace clean and prevent flashes from appearing everywhere.

2.Choosing the Right Tape

Some tapes may not adhere well to glitter paper. Opt for a strong, double sided tape or a tape that is designed for use with textured surfaces. This will ensure that the paper stays in place throughout the gift giving process.

    In conclusion, wrapping with glitter paper is a wonderful way to add a touch of glamour and excitement to any gift. By carefully choosing the right paper, following the proper wrapping techniques, and adding creative decorative elements, you can create a truly stunning wrapped present that will surely impress the recipient. Whether it's for a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion, glitter wrapping paper is a great choice for adding that extra sparkle. So, go ahead and start experimenting with different types of glitter paper and make your gifts shine!
