How I wrap presents using only one piece of tape – I’ve been using this genius hack for years, and it always impresses my friends and family

I have a love-hate relationship with sellotape over the Christmas period. While I need it to wrap presents, there never seems to be enough of it, and it has a nasty habit of ruining my precise wrapping when I do have it.

That is why over the last couple of years I’ve committed to a clever wrapping hack, which uses just one piece of sticky tape. And I guarantee it looks like I put in a lot more effort than I actually did.
