Christmas wrapping hack for when you've got a small bit of paper left

It's Christmas Eve and you are feeling very smug.

You've got a glass of Baileys in hand, Only Fools is on the telly and you've got a pile of beautifully wrapped presents underneath the tree.

But what's that? You spot a unwrapped gift poking out of a shopping bag and it was all going so well.

Oh well, you've still got time to wrap it, but to your dismay you've got to the end of your roll of wrapping paper and will now have to struggle to cover your final gift.

However, we've discovered a gift wrapping hack that will save you a lot of pain, just watch our video above.

This clever trick is handy for when you have a piece of wrapping paper which is smaller than you would like.

If the paper won't stretch over sideways or lengthways then simply turn the gift on a diagonal and fold up the corners.

Secure with sticky tape and ta-da, you've got a perfectly wrapped present to put under the Christmas tree.

Now you can go back to feeling smug.
