You might bookmark it for the day you give somebody a pentagonal gift. No, really. It could happen.

Aw… I thought this was how to make origami boxes. I am disappoint.
And btw, the secret is just use a gift bag (my ex’s go to method) or put it in a box and wrap it.
Double sided tape was my revelation. Looks cleaner but somehow seems too indulgent for regular use.

If this were the future of the Jetsons someone could invent Gift-Wrap in a Can that you sprayed on unusually shaped gifts to quickly and easily “wrap” them. Kind of like Spider-Man’s webbing.
Or I guess you could go with spray paint, but that seems a bit too messy and permanent.

The trick is to convert unusual shaped items into cuboids first, then wrap them.
With the proper set of tools, easy as cake.
