A Gift Wrapping Pro Shares the Secret to Gorgeous Presents

The secret to making your gift look flawless? Alton says it's no-show seams. "Start by folding the working edge of the paper over by about 1 inch. This loses the rough, cut edge of the paper to help hide the seam. Next, instead of fixing the seam right down the center of the package, pull the paper to the far side of the box and create the seam right on the edge. Tuck the excess paper from the opposite side under where you're about to tape the seam for a smooth finish."
