📋 What you'll need
• Quality gift wrap
• Double-sided tape (discreet)
• Decorative ribbon or string
• Scissors
Step 1: Fold the Scarf
Carefully fold the scarf into three or four sections to prevent creasing and achieve a regular rectangular shape.

Cut a piece of gift wrap large enough to fully wrap the scarf with a few inches to spare.
Step 3: Position
Place the scarf in the center of the gift wrap and fold the sides towards the middle.
Step 4: Fold
Fold the ends precisely to achieve a clean and neat wrap. Use double-sided tape for an invisible finish.
Step 5: Decorate
Add a decorative ribbon or elegant string to perfect the packaging.
💡 Pro Tip
For an even neater wrap, use double-sided tape instead of visible sticky tape. The effect is much more professional!

📋 What you'll need
• Rigid box suitable for the size
• Tissue paper or velvet
• Satin or organza ribbon
• Personalized card (optional)
