A small business tutorial worth saving Here is a simple way to wrap a notebook. First, place it face down in the middle of your paper and check that both sides overlap. Fold the long sides over the notebook and secure the join. Then fold one short end into neat flaps and repeat at the other end. Finish with a ribbon or a small piece of tape. Check that the notebook can sit flat, and your gift is ready. Adapt factual claims to match what you actually demonstrate.
