A CHRISTMAS pro has revealed exactly how she\u2019s able to package the trickiest shapes in wrapping paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chantel Mila is a home decor, organisation and cleaning whizz and often uses her social media to share her top tips and tricks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In one such video, she decided to tackle the one issue everyone faces over the festive period: wrapping Christmas presents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While books and Apple products might be easy to tackle thanks to their sharp corners and simple shapes – others aren\u2019t so straight forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a bid to make it easier on the masses, Chantel shared her four wrapping hacks – starting with \u201chow to wrap an awkward shaped gift\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMeasure wrapping paper around gift and secure with Scotch Gift Wrap Tape,\u201d she first told viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then removed a pink stuffed bunny toy and folded the wrapping paper in half, flat on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n Folding the two ended pieces, she then cut the corners diagonally, which created a candy-wrapper effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n Placing the bunny back inside, she then secured it with two red ribbons on each side to \u201ccreate a bonbon\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n Next, she revealed how to wrap a round gift and instructed viewers to first measure paper halfway across the base and top.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n She then cut the horizontal sides into small strips on both ends and placed a round tin inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n Wrapping the paper right around the tin, she then secured the strips along the bottom and top ends of the tin. She topped it off with a long white ribbon, which she tied into a bow.\u00a0<\/p>\n She followed this up by revealing how to wrap an \u201cirregular shaped gift\u201d, like a cap.\u00a0<\/p>\n TikTok user @chantel_mila started by measuring the gift out and cutting the paper before securing each horizontal side together with a piece of tape.\u00a0<\/p>\n She then folded on end before opening it up and folding it once more to create a diamond shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n She then placed the cap inside before folding the top end and punching two holes in it to tie with a ribbon – essentially creating a goodie bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n The final shape she tackled was how to wrap a wine bottle.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWrap the paper around the bottle,\u201d she first instructed viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n After wrapping the bottom of the bottle, she folded the top end of the wrapping paper in a zigzag pattern before tying it with a ribbon.<\/p>\n In the caption, she added: \u201c4 of the best gift wraps for the trickiest shaped gifts,\u201d followed by a gift emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n People were quick to comment as one person wrote: \u201c*Immediately adds to favourites* time for us to step up our gift wrapping\u201d.<\/p>\n Another shared: \u201cThis was so helpful\u201d.<\/p>\n While a third added: \u201cGenius\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/picture>RUN, DON\u2019T WALK <\/span><\/p>\n
