How to gift wrap a mug: a step-by-step guide

Have you thought about filling it with chocolates as well? (Obviously, you get to eat the overspill.) But wait, how on earth do you gift wrap a mug? Let’s have a look…

To wrap one standard-sized simple mug you’ll need

  • 1 x large sheet of cellophane (from any good craft shop)
  • 2 x large sheets of coloured tissue paper
  • 1 x gift tag (or just make a hole in a piece of card)
  • 1-2 long lengths of colourful ribbon
  • Scissors

How to gift wrap your mug

Step 1: cut your ribbon

Guestimate the amount you’ll need- depends on whether you want to go big or small. Use two different colours like we did, if you want.

Step 2: lay out the wrapping

Cellophane first with the tissue paper on top. Then place your mug in the middle.

Step 3: get wrapping

Bring the corners of the tissue paper up, over the mug. Repeat with the cellophane.

Step 4: tie your ribbon

Neatly tie a bow around the top of your wrapped mug.

Step 5: write your gift tag

Say whatever you like, from a simple Happy Birthday or ‘Can’t wait to see you’, to explain why you picked that photo. Tie the tag onto your ribbon and you’re done. Mug gift wrapping – made easy!
