Let's Get Started!

Step 1: Creating the Upper Part of the Present

To begin, draw two diagonal lines connected in the middle. These lines form the upper part of the present. You can use a ruler to ensure your lines are straight and precise.

Step 2: Outlining the Present's Lid

Repeat the previous step to draw another set of diagonal lines right underneath the first ones. These lines create the bottom part of the lid. Now, you should see two parallel lines that are arched in the middle.

Step 3: Finalizing the Lid of the Present

Connect the two sets of diagonal lines on both sides to complete the lid. Add a short vertical line on each side, and voila! The lid structure is now fully formed.

Step 4: Drawing the Bottom Half of the Present

It's time to draw the box part of the present. Start by creating the left side of the box with a long, nearly vertical line. Connect it with a shorter diagonal line at the bottom. This forms the half of the present's box.

Step 6: Adding Dimensions to the Present

To make your present look realistic, add a short vertical line in the middle of the lid and a longer vertical line in the middle of the box. These lines create the edges of the box, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.

Step 7: Drawing the Ribbons

No present is complete without a gift bow on top! Draw two sets of inverted U-shaped curves at the top of the lid to create the bow.

Step 8: Completing the Bow

Add another U-shaped curve in the middle of the first two curves from the previous step. This completes the third set of gift bows. Make sure this curve is slightly bigger than the others.

Step 9: Gift Wrap the Present

To finish off your gift, add the lace wraparound. Draw two parallel vertical lines on both sides of the present to create this effect. Remember to erase any overlapping parts within the lace.
