Wrapping Paper Cutters

Tired of 'scissoring' your way through gift wrapping chores? Do you waste wrapping paper because of those uneven cuts? Do you want your gift-wrapping ideas to look professional and elegant? If your answer to any of these questions is a resounding "yes", then it is high time you get yourself a wrapping paper cutter.

Wrapping paper cutters have different sizes and varies in form according your specific needs. Nevertheless, they all have the same purpose - to cut wrapping paper properly.

Freestanding gift wrapping paper dispenser and cutters can usually hold a roll of paper up to 9" in diameter. These cutters are designed for rolls with standard end plugs and can be wall-mounted, free stand on the counter, or under the counter. They usually have sharp, serrated edge blades and counter top mount. Larger wrapping paper cutters can hold up to 36" length rolls. Be sure to check out the best buy when looking for these types of paper dispensers and cutters.

If you don't have space to spare for a freestanding gift wrapping paper dispenser and cutter, then this handy implement, which is available at major art-supply and craft stores is a must in your gift wrapping set. Used with a ruler, this cutter lets you rapidly cut long, straight lines through paper or even fabric. If your gift wrapping chore involves a lot of cutting (which it usually does), then you've got to have this one. It's an ideal substitute for cutter blades.

If you have a heavy-duty paper cutter (typically use to cut bulks of paper and laminating films in offices), then you can also use this to evenly cut wrapping papers. These cutters typically have a ruler for precision cutting. They also come in a variety of sizes. If you plan to buy one of these, be prepared to allot extra space in your storage area.

Lastly, if cutters are not your type of tool, you can always use the old-reliable pair of scissors. For doing straight cuts, use straight trimmers with rubber handles to avoid straining your fingers particularly if you are going to do a lot of cutting. For added style, use decorative edge scissors to trim paper edges to add style and uniqueness to your wrapping (See table below).
