• In the next step, you have to put the candle in the middle of the paper. Now take two sides one by one and tape it on the upper surface.
• Now the other two sides are left to wrap, so take one side and crease to make two triangles. Fold both of the triangles to the middle of that side one by one and secure with tape.
• Do the same for the other side. Crease and make a triangle then one by one, fold those to the middle and secure with tape.
• You can use a flower on the top or middle of the box to make the wrapping more beautiful. Just use glue, and you can easily attach it with e wrapping.

The One Side Twist

This is also an easy method to wrap a candle without any hassles. This method is suitable mostly for every type of candle. For this using a colorful tissue wrap is a better option than using a paper wrap.

• First, take the candle and measure the height of the candle. After measuring, now take the tissue and cut all the sides 3-4 inches extra than the height of the candle. Ensure the tissue is square, which means the tissue’s 4 sides have to be the same size.
• Now in the next step, but the candle right in the middle of that tissue. Take all the sides up of the tissue with your hand together near the upper part of the candle.
• Now twist the ends a little bit altogether and tie it with a matching ribbon or colorful threads. You can make a bow with the ribbon to make the wrapping more beautiful.

The Box Wrap

You will need a box for this as we will keep the candle inside the box and then wrap the package.

• Now, take a wrapping paper and put the box in the middle of the paper. It is much easier to wrap something square or rectangular.
• Now wrap one side of the paper over the box, and it will cover almost half of the box. Take another side and bind it to the other side to entirely cover it.
• Now, two of the sides are still open. So start with one side first and push 2 sides of the paper inward. You will see two triangle-shaped flaps after you take two sides inward. Now take those triangle-shaped flaps one by one inward and secure those with tape. Do the same for the other side.

Now the box is fully wrapped with the candle inside. You can use a ribbon now to make a bow or artificial flowers and attach it with glue to the box.

This wrapping method will also keep the candle protected. You can also use the box method if you are gifting small sized candles. Take a big box and place the side of the small candle by the side, then wrap the box.

• Now, after you tied the ribbon, leave some extra parts like 2-3 inches of the net and cut the extra part off. Now the wrapping is done almost.
