Man's present wrapping hack goes viral just in time for Christmas
One man’s present wrapping hack has taken the internet by storm – and you’re going to want to see this.
With just days to go until Christmas, Twitter user Chuck B caught the collective attention of his fellow users with an enlightening how-to wrapping video which shows you how to make the best of limited wrapping paper.
We’ve all been caught short with not quite enough paper to wrap out gifts – particularly when we’re out of practice and can’t quite remember the most efficient way to use it.
But the footage offers a helpful solution, demonstrating how simply turning the present around diagnonally and overlapping the corners of the wrapping paper, so that it cover the present perfectly.
