Alton DuLaney, the world’s most famous gift-wrap artist, knows all the gift wrapping tricks and strategies to getting that crisp, neat wrapped look—and he shared the common mistakes he sees people making.

DuLaney uses his hand to measure the box’s height and then determine how much paper he needs on either end.
