People are just realizing you don't need tape to wrap gifts

PEOPLE are just realizing there's a way to wrap gifts that doesn't require tape.

Many are shocked at the wrapping hack, saying it's so useful it's almost "sorcery."

An X, formerly known as Twitter, user (@todayyearsoldig) shared the video they stumbled across teaching viewers how to wrap gifts without tape.

"What is this sorcery," they asked, in full disbelief.

A woman placed a book diagonally on top of wrapping paper, making sure to cut the paper so that it was exactly the right size as one complete fold over the book.

Next, she wrapped two sides of the paper over the book, making sure to tuck the corners of the wrapping paper in for a seamless corner.

Pulling another side of the wrapping paper over the book, she quickly forms a makeshift envelope with the paper.

She tucks the last side of the wrapping paper into the book, requiring zero tape.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts on the method.

Many thought the demonstrator made the method look much easier than it actually was.

"It always looks so easy," laughed one viewer.

"I can't even wrap with tape," joked another.

Others were inspired to try the trick out for themselves: "Now I'm eager to get myself some wrapping paper and see if this is really true," said a third.
