Have you ever received a hat disguised as something else? It can be extremely disappointing when opening up a gift and discovering that it wasn’t actually what was intended.
Wrapping a hat to look its best can be easy and will surely bring joy to a loved one! Simply take some time and effort, and make someone’s day by giving something thoughtful.
Choose the Right Materials
Gift giving is an amazing way to spread joy, from small tokens of affection to extravagant presents for special events. No matter the occasion, gift wrapping plays a critical role in making sure that your present looks truly wonderful.
When it comes to gift wrap, there are a few considerations you should keep in mind. First and foremost is choosing appropriate materials; thick paper or fabric that will protect the hat during transport while not ripping during shipping is ideal. Also be sure to choose colors that complement it well and add some flair with some fun ribbons or tape!
Fabric gift wrap can be an eco-friendly and enjoyable way to present hats as gifts, as it is reusable, biodegradable and woman-owned. To use fabric as gift wrap on your hats, begin by folding fabric into square or rectangle and wrapping around it neatly around the hat, ensuring all ends are neatly tucked-in before sealing with tape at the top of the package.
Use a box or padded envelope when mailing your hat – this will help ensure a safe journey from your house to theirs! When choosing the size of box you need for shipping purposes.
Use any extra paper or fabric you may have lying around to give the gift an impressive appearance and show how thoughtfully chosen it was. Tie ribbon around the box in an eye-catching bow so as to draw attention to what lies within.
Measure the Hat
Finding the appropriate hat size is critical for comfort and fit, yet measurements may differ between brands and styles of hats. That’s why it is vitally important that you take time to measure your head before purchasing a new hat.
To properly measure your head for a hat, begin by wrapping a string or tape measuring device around the back of your head just above your ears firmly but comfortably tight, marking where both ends meet with a pen or pencil, and using that measurement to find out your size in a sizing chart.
In order to obtain maximum accuracy when measuring your head size, it’s advisable to take both centimeters and inches measurements simultaneously. Also, it is a good practice to repeat taking your measurement multiple times and compare it against a sizing chart to ensure an accurate number.
Once you have taken accurate measurements, it’s time to create your hat gift wrap. There are various materials and designs you can choose from when putting together your package; cardboard, fabric or more luxurious options like decorative boxes may all work. Whatever material or design is chosen should coordinate well with or match the hat you are giving as a present.
Before wrapping the hat up for shipping, it’s a smart idea to place some tissue paper over it to protect and cushion its fragile material during transport and make the packaging appear more professional and appealing. Don’t forget to add an attractive decorative bow or flower as well – that will complete your package beautifully!
Cut the Wrapping Paper
Gift-wrapping a hat requires precision when cutting the paper perfectly; too much paper creates bulk that’s difficult to work with while too little will leave gaps around edges and corners of the present. For optimal results, begin by cutting a long strip that measures twice the height and width of your hat, using scissors carefully cut along lines marked by pencil or tape before carefully trimming along your pencil lines with scissors.
Once you’ve cut the wrapping paper, lay it out on a flat surface with its decorative side down. Take your hat and position it in the middle of the paper with its weight evenly distributed; once in place, grab two opposite corners and pull them upward towards one another before gently pinching together for added security around the hat’s body and an elegant, polished look.
Add ribbon or bows for a professional finish by wrapping gifts with colorful paper. Ribbon is an effective way to make wrapping look festive, adding another decorative detail that completes a gift’s presentation.
As another simple way of wrapping a hat, put it in a box or shipment bag. This will protect it from damage during its travels and ensure that it reaches its recipient undamaged. Just make sure it’s big enough so as not to restrict how you wrap the item!
Place the Hat in a Box
Protecting a hat as you gift it is of the utmost importance when wrapping it as a present. Padded envelopes may provide added cushion and warmth during transit; or consider opting for shipping bags which offer temperature regulation to protect from extreme temperature changes and guarantee optimal condition during arrival.
Craft supply stores or online can often stock special hat boxes; however, this isn’t required when packing your hat away for storage. In fact, an ordinary wide shoebox or clear plastic container may even suffice – just ensure each side folds neatly three times and taped securely shut.
Start by placing the hat on a flat surface. Measure its circumference using a tape measure and write down this number; add two inches as extra room when making your calculations to determine how big a box you will require for storage.
Set out a piece of crumpled tissue paper in the bottom of the box. Next, pack the crown of the hat in tissue paper so it remains its shape over time and does not rest against its brim, which could cause it to flatten out over time.
Now, place the hat into its nest. If needed, add more rumpled tissue for additional protection or any gaps that need filling; ribbons or bows can add an extra decorative touch – and voila, your beautiful, custom package that will keep their head warm and dry will be complete.
Add a Decorative Bow or Flower
Add an extra personal touch to your hat gift by embellishing its wrapping with an adorable bow or flower decoration. Not only will it look lovely, but the extra decoration shows that you put great thought and thought into their present!
Use tissue paper when wrapping the hat to protect it and avoid it being crushed during shipping, keeping its form so it does not shift during transit. This will also keep it in place during transport so as to prevent movement during transport.
Start by placing the hat flat on top of a sheet of wrapping paper or gift bag. Fold over and secure with tape; any extra adhesive may need to be used if necessary to ensure its tight fitting.
Once your hat is wrapped, cut a length of ribbon or twine that’s long enough for you to tie a bow over it – this will finish off its appearance and make it more polished!
Gift wrapping a hat may seem complicated at first, but with some practice and following some easy tips – like using thick materials and measuring it before beginning wrapping – this task can become much simpler. Give it a try now – we bet it won’t be as daunting!
