When you’re wrapping presents, it feels like you need about six more hands.
How do you manage to fold, cut paper and get tape ready all at the same time?
One mum has a smart hack to make the whole process a little easier – and you just need a mop handle and a few chairs.
Amanda Coulter posted her hack on the Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks group on Facebook.
She simply took a long mop handle and slid the roll of wrapping paper onto it. She then put the whole thing through two chairs to keep it in place.
Doing this means she can pull out as much paper as she needs without it rolling up again as soon as she lets go.
She says she saw the video on Snapchat and decided to give it a go as she wrapped presents for her family.
She said: ‘I hate wrapping presents at the best of time. No more paper rolling back at you. A simple mop handle stops me from loosing my S**t.’
Others in the group were impressed with the idea.
One said: ‘Why wasn’t this posted a few weeks ago. That would of saved me drinking 3 bottles of wine!!’
Another said she just needed a sellotape dispenser to create the perfect gift wrapping station.
And if you find that the paper you cut is too small, try this handy TikTok viral hack – by turning your present diagonally, you might just make it work.
Happy wrapping!
