Wrap with Paper and Double-Sided Tape to Create "Ravioli Wrapped" Gifts

Usually smaller gifts that don't come in a box need a gift bag or box to properly wrap but if you have double-sided tape you can make gift "raviolis" by creating a pocket, adding the gift, and taping up the fourth side of the pocket.

Instructables user sl4sh3r shows in step-by-step photos how easy it is to wrap a gift using this technique. You'll just cut out two identical rectangles of gift wrap, add double-sided tape to three sides, attach the second piece of gift wrap to the tape to form a pocket, add your gift, and then seal up the fourth side with another strip of tape. If you end up doing several of these you may want to consider buying decorative scissors for a few bucks ($5.89 for a 4-pack on Amazon) as it will add a lot to the presentation.
