There’s no feeling like Christmas morning when you wake up to find all your gifts waiting for you. Even more special is when you open a present you’ve been anxiously waiting for. If you’re looking for a unique gift to give this year, why not try gifting a snowboard?
It’s the perfect way to surprise someone who loves skiing or snowboarding, and it’s sure to put a smile on their face! In this blog post, we’ll show you how to gift wrap a snowboard to look as beautiful under the tree as it does on the slopes. Let’s get started!
Why Gift Wrap a Snowboard?
There are a few reasons why you might want to gift wrap a snowboard. Perhaps you’re giving the board as a present to someone who has never skied or snowboarded before. Maybe you’re gifting it to a seasoned veteran who is looking for a new board. Or, maybe you just think it would be a fun and unique way to give a gift!
Another reason to gift wrap a snowboard is that it can be difficult to transport a large, awkward-shaped present like a snowboard. By gift wrapping the board, you can make it easier to transport and store until it’s time to open presents. Whatever the reason, we think gifting a snowboard is a great idea. If you’re unsure how to go about it, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.
What You’ll Need
- 1 Snowboard
- 1 Gift Wrap
- 1 Ribbon
- 1 Scissors
Step by Step How to Gift Wrap a Snowboard
1. Choose Gift Wrap
The first step is to choose the perfect gift wrap for your snowboard. You’ll want to pick a large enough wrap to cover the entire board with a design that your recipient will love.
If you’re unsure what kind of gift wrap to choose, try looking for one that features a winter or outdoor scene. This will help get your recipient into the holiday spirit! Also, avoid using wrapping paper that is too thin, as this will make it more difficult to wrap the board. If you can’t find a wrap that you love, you can always use a plain white sheet or piece of fabric.
2. Measure Snowboard
Once you’ve chosen the perfect gift wrap, it’s time to measure your snowboard. This will ensure that you have enough wrap to cover the entire board.
To measure your snowboard, first, find the length by measuring from the tip of the nose to the tail. Next, please measure the width of the board at its widest point. Finally, measure the height of the board from the top of the nose to the bottom of the tail.
3. Cut Gift Wrap
Now that you have the measurements of your snowboard, it’s time to cut the gift wrap. Cut a piece of wrapping paper that is slightly larger than the snowboard. For example, if your snowboard is 160cm long, you will want to cut a piece of wrapping paper that is 170cm long. This will give you enough wrap to cover the entire board. If you’re using a sheet or piece of fabric, you can fold it in half to be the correct size.
4. Place the Snowboard in the Center of the Gift Wrap
Once you have your piece of gift wrap cut to size, it’s time to place the snowboard in the center. If you’re using a sheet or piece of fabric, make sure that the wrong side is facing up. This will ensure that the right side is visible when you wrap the board. Avoid placing the snowboard too close to the edge of the gift wrap, as this will make it difficult to wrap.
5. Wrap the Nose of the Snowboard
The next step is to wrap the nose of the snowboard. To do this, first, fold the top edge of the gift wrap down so that it covers the nose of the board. Next, take the left side of the gift wrap and fold it over the nose of the board.
Finally, please take the right side of the gift wrap and fold it over the nose. It would be best if you now had a triangle-shaped piece of gift wrap covering the nose of the snowboard. If you’re using a sheet or piece of fabric, you can tuck the top edge under the nose of the board.
6. Wrap the Sides of the Snowboard
Now that the nose is wrapped, it’s time to wrap the sides of the snowboard. To do this, first, find the center of the snowboard. This is generally easy to do by finding the bindings.
Once you have found the center, start wrapping the paper around the sides of the snowboard, making sure to keep the paper tight. When you reach the end of the roll of wrapping paper, cut the paper and tape it down. You can now move on to the next step.
7. Wrap the Tail of the Snowboard
The next step is to wrap the tail of the snowboard. To do this, first, fold the bottom edge of the paper up to the top of the snowboard.
Next, take the two side edges of the paper and bring them together in the middle of the snowboard, ensuring that the paper is tight around the edges of the snowboard. Once you have done this, fold the top edge of the paper down to the bottom of the snowboard.
Finally, tape the paper in place. If you want, you can also add a ribbon or bow to the snowboard for extra decoration.
8. Trim Excess Gift Wrap
Once you have wrapped the entire snowboard, it’s time to trim any excess gift wrap. You can do this with a pair of scissors. First, cut off any excess gift wrap at the top and bottom of the snowboard. Next, cut along the sides of the snowboard to even out the edges. Finally, trim the nose and tail of the snowboard, so they are nice and even.
9. Add a Ribbon or Bow
The next step is to add a ribbon or bow to the snowboard. This is completely optional, but it does add a nice touch. If you’re using a ribbon, first cut a length that’s long enough to go around the snowboard and tie in a bow.
Then, wrap the ribbon around the snowboard and tie it in a bow. If you’re using a bow, attach it to the snowboard with clear tape. Avoid using glue, as this can damage the snowboard.
10. Inspect the Snowboard
Once you have finished wrapping the snowboard, it’s time to inspect it. Make sure that there are no gaps or holes in the gift wrap. If there are, tape them up. Once you’re satisfied with the snowboard, it’s time to give it to the lucky recipient. With these easy steps, you’ll be able to gift wrap a snowboard like a pro!
How Much Gift Wrap Do You Need?
Now that you know how to gift wrap a snowboard, you’re probably wondering how much gift wrap you’ll need. The amount of gift wrap you’ll need will depend on the snowboard size. A good rule of thumb is to use one roll of wrapping paper for every two feet of a snowboard.
So, if you’re wrapping a six-foot snowboard, you’ll need three rolls of gift wrap. If you’re using a sheet or piece of fabric, you’ll need about two feet for every foot of snowboard. So, if you’re wrapping a six-foot snowboard, you’ll need 12 feet of fabric. With these guidelines in mind, you should have no problem finding the right amount of gift wrap for your snowboard.
How Much Does It Cost to Gift Wrap a Snowboard?
The cost of gift wrapping a snowboard will depend on the type of gift wrap you use. If you’re using wrapping paper, you can expect to spend about $5-$10 per roll. If you’re using a sheet or piece of fabric, you can expect to spend about $10-$20 per yard. With these prices in mind, you should have no problem finding a gift-wrapping option that fits your budget.
