1. Wrap
Wrap curling ribbon (available at gift and craft stores) around the box 10 times. Slide the bundle off and tie it in the middle with a piece of ribbon. Repeat seven times.

2. Cut and Curl
Cut the loops at each end of every bundle. Grip the middle of a bundle with your thumb and index finger. Use the thumb of your other hand to hold a ribbon strand in place over the sharp edge of an open pair of scissors. Starting from the bundle’s center, run the scissor edge down the length of each strand, pulling toward you.

3. Adhere
Tape two bundles in the middle of the package. Attach the rest of the bundles (in pairs) with tape to cover the box top.
