How to Put Tissue Paper in a Gift Bag

One of the best parts of receiving a gift is carefully unwrapping the covering to reveal what is inside, building up the excitement by rifling through the colourful tissue paper and beautiful embellishments. Whether you are looking into how to put tissue paper in a gift bag to enhance your printed gift bags for business events, or simply want to add an extra special touch to gifts for your loved ones, create professional looking gift bags without the hassle with our handy guide.

How to Put Tissue Paper in a Gift Bag

Once you have your gift bag ready, you’ll want to open each piece of tissue paper fully as this will help achieve a volumised look. With tissue paper being so delicate, taking your time will help prevent any accidental tears.

Now your tissue paper is ready, place them into the bag one piece at a time, placing the centre of the sheet on the bottom of the gift bag and lining the sides, allowing the edges of the sheet to be displayed out of the top of the bag for a decorative finish. Keep going until you have achieved your desired look and rearrange the edges to position them as you please.

Keep the Contents Well Hidden

Now that you know how to put tissue paper in a gift bag, it’s time to add the gift inside and there are two ways you can choose to do this:

• Carefully place the contents inside without damaging the tissue paper and ensure they are securely positioned. Now you want to grab another one or two sheets of tissue paper and loosely cover the gifts to keep them well hidden and fill out the gift bag; you should not be able to see any part of the gift from all angles – no sneak peeks allowed!
• The next option is to individually wrap the gifts in tissue paper for a neater finish. Loosely wrap the contents in tissue paper, doubling up for larger gifts to avoid transparency but there is no need for taping these up as they will be placed into the gift bag – this is a great way to do sustainable packaging. Place your wrapped gifts into the bag with the neat side facing upwards and double check that nothing is left on show.

Adding a Personal Touch

Once your gift is perfectly hidden and surrounded by your stunning tissue paper decoration, it’s time to add any finishing touches. Whether you opt for ribbons, bows, gift tags or other embellishments, let your creativity run free!

For businesses looking to create branded packages for events, goodie bags or store customers, adding your branding is a great way to promote your business whilst adding a luxury touch. Printed tissue paper allows you to choose the colour and design of your tissue paper to ensure your gifts perfectly portray your branding.
