How to Wrap a Stroller Box for Baby Shower: 10 Steps to Follow
1. Choosing And Preparing The Wrappers:
To make a box, you will need a piece of material that is big enough to cover the entire box and is sturdy enough to hold itself up. You can use old newspapers, wrapping paper, magazine pages, or anything else you have lying around. If you don’t have anything like that, you can try using markers to add color and design.
2. Making the Box:
Making a box is a breeze; all you need is a regular size brown paper bag from the grocery store. Trace the bottom of the bag on the side sheet to get a perfect circular shape. Then cut off both sheets in a rectangle shape to fit the box.
3. Putting The Bottom Sheet On:
To wrap your box, simply insert one of the long sides inside the box and tape it to the side of the box. Then, do the same with the other side, making sure you leave enough space at both ends for the lid to be taped shut.
4. The Top Part:
The top part is the trickiest part of this whole process. To make it easy, cut out a rectangular sheet larger than the box and fold it in half longways, then roll it into a cylinder shape that will fit on top of the box. Tape or glue it to each end of the box to keep it in place.
5. Placing And Joining The Stroller Box:
To attach your box to the stroller, first place one side of the wrapper inside the stroller box. Next, pull the wrapper through to the other side, leaving enough space for the stroller wheels at one end. Finally, tape or glue each corner of the wrapper to the box.
6. Positioning the Handlebars:
To attach your box to the stroller, first place one side of the wrapper inside the stroller box. Next, pull the wrapper through to the other side, leaving enough space for the stroller wheels at one end. Finally, tape or glue each corner of the wrapper to the box.
7. Giving The Box The Shape With Care:
Before giving the box the shape, make sure that both wheels are already in place. To do this, slowly bend one side of the box into a straight line while holding on to both handlebars, then gradually take the top part of the box down. Make sure not to leave any gaps between each side and make sure it does not fold onto itself.
The best way to see if you have an excellent fold is by slowly putting it on its side and seeing how balanced it becomes; if not, try making adjustments to the top part without folding anything else. Once you are satisfied with your balance, go ahead and tape or glue each corner, so they keep their shape.
8. Positioning The Rests:
To make the rests, simply cut out small rectangular sheets of your wrapper material and put them on each end underneath the space in each corner. This is to keep your stroller balanced because it can easily slip off balance without them. Then you can either tape or glue them on to keep them in place.
9. Making The Basket:
To make the basket, take out enough masking tape to cover one side of your box and position it inside at a forty-five-degree angle so it will stay put while you are pushing your stroller. Cut off any excess tape and make sure you do not leave any gaps. To add a little more detail to your stroller, make some flowers out of the wrapper material and add them to the center on either side of the handlebars or top of the rests if they are not too big.
10. Decorating Your Baby Stroller Box:
The last step to make your stroller box look like a real baby stroller is to add color and interest. To do this, take markers and draw designs on the material, press down hard for it not to come off easily when you touch or wash it.
General Tips and Tricks
Here are some tips on how to wrap a stroller box for a baby shower.
1. When finding the right paper bag size for this project, remember that the handle should be around 30 inches long.
2. While folding and cutting the wrapping paper, make sure you have a straight edge to work against.
3. The stroller box measures 10 x 12 x 24 inches. Therefore, the wrapping paper needs to be cut to 1/2 inch shy of this length (ie, 11×24).
4. If you are worried about tearing your gift wrap when folding, stick some tape on the backside of the paper before cutting it out.
5. The stroller box has four sides, so some of the strollers will be wrapped with two sheets of wrapping paper.
6. You can decorate both sides of the box and still have enough wrapping paper, as long as you wrap it carefully (and mirror images).
7. When cutting out your gift box, you don’t need to worry about making a perfect square.
Decorating Classic Baby Shower Gift Wrap
The first type of car seat gift box is a large rectangular-shaped package with a lid that opens from one side. Start by laying the box on its back and cover it with a white or baby blue sheet of paper, cut approximately two inches longer on all sides than the box itself. Next, fold the excess sheet lengthwise toward the center of the package and crease it firmly with a bone folder.
Repeat on the other side, then open back up again. Add a thick glue line along both edges about halfway up from each side. Close the flaps over the white paper, tuck one side under the other, then apply glue to the underside. Repeat on the other side. Press down firmly on all four edges until they stick together, then trim any excess paper off the top with scissors or a utility knife.
