OK! I kinda have a problem. I don't know HOW to wrap things in tissue paper when it comes to bagging. Of course the bagging is cheap, comparing to wrapping paper, I will wrap the bigger gifts, but I have a problem.... I am NOT good at wrapping things in tissue paper. I know many wrap things in tissue paper and it pops out like a triangular corner like...

how do I do this? And, if you cannot help me, can you help me find a website to help me wrap like a pro? 

Thank-You for your help with my Christmas journey and the kiddo's! ::laughs::....

 I feel like SCREAMING!!! I feel so ignorant when it comes to wrapping.. haha!

I just fluff it around until it looks nice..no secrets here...sorry!
First, use a few sheets- 2 or 3. Set the item in the middle, and scoop the paper around it, then use ribbon to tie it on top. Or, just place it in the bag without tying it, and add 2-3 sheets on top by shoving them into the bag from the middle of the tissue, so it sticks out the top.

I used to wrap things in tin foil; that could be another idea, if you run out of tissue paper.

At least 2-3 sheets and wrap the paper around the item. If it's round, like a glass or coffee cup, put a couple of sheets inside the glass and then roll the item in the paper.

I am not the one to ask! I'm a big fan of gift baskets ;)

Don't worry I am not the best at wrapping either but I do my best anyways

I wrap everything...I hate bags. I buy cheap wrapping paper at the Dollar Tree or in the Target dollar section, so it's actually cheaper than bags.

Good luck. I'm sure lots of Gatherites can help you.

I scrunge it up and toss it in. Never had any complaints yet.
I love wrapping in tissue. It looks so pretty!

I like to use contrasting colors of tissue paper -- back to back -- so that, when you fold it, you get edges of the "other color".... Otherwise, I just use 2 sheets or so and wrap with it just like I wrap with "regular" wrapping paper...
