**Bonus points for choosing a wrapping paper that complements the color and style of your candle.
Measure the wrapping paper: Hold the candle upright and measure a piece of wrapping paper that is long enough to cover the entire height of the candle, with a few inches of excess on either end. Cut the wrapping paper along this measurement. Don’t cut off a finger – they don’t grow back.
Place the candle on the wrapping paper: Lay the candle on its side on the center of the wrapping paper.
Fold the sides of the wrapping paper over the candle: Bring the left and right sides of the wrapping paper over the candle, creating neat creased folds as you go.
Secure the wrapping paper: Use a piece of tape to secure the wrapping paper in place. You can either place the tape on the underside of the candle or on the top, your call. You’re the boss.
Repeat on the other side: Turn the candle over and repeat the process on the other side. Make sure to smooth out any wrinkles or creases in the wrapping paper as you go.
Trim any excess wrapping paper: Use your scissors to trim any excess wrapping paper from the top and bottom of the candle. You can also add a decorative ribbon or bow to add a finishing touch.
Enjoy your wrapped candle: Your candle is now ready to be given as a gift or displayed as a stylish home accent. Congrats! If you have chosen to give your friend or loved one a Sojourn Company candle you are now both a gift giving and gift wrapping master!
