Wrapping nightmare!!!

Hi. I bought my mum a "hatbox" type bath set and it was all nicely presented with a ribbon tied round it but I couldn't wrap it with paper - so I untied the ribbon and put on the lid and now I can't tie the ribbon back on again the way it was.

If anybody knows how to do this can you please tell me. Preferably with step by step instructions :D

The box is round btw.

    I just wrapped up something round! its easy!

    Get the paper, lay the box on its side, (so it can roll about, ya know.) and go round it, al the way, stick it down, make it tight.

    Then just fold it over hte top and bottom! :D

    And be a NINJA WRAPPER!

    Just don't use the ribbon or buy one of those sticky ribbons

    Leave the ribbon there and explain to your mother when she opens it, it's the thought that counts.

    Oh and did I say half and E, I meant a 1/4 of a one.

    Use a bag. (not when doing your mother, but for giving the hatbox in)

    wrap the box with wrapping paper, then just tie the ribbon on the top as best you can :)
