Lay the item you wish to wrap on a flat surface. You need to cut enough Bubble Wrap to completely cover your item more than once. If you are wrapping up prized or especially fragile possessions, it is better to be generous with the wrap. Lay out the Bubble Wrap with the bubble side facing upwards. You may have noticed that one half of the Bubble Wrap has a completely flat surface, and the other contains all of the tiny bubbles. A common mistake people make is to wrap up the item with the bubbles on the outside and the flat edge against their item. Although this does provide some cushion for the object, it does not take full advantage of the Bubble Wrap. Place your item on top of the Bubble Wrap. The item should be resting on the bubble side of the Bubble Wrap. The reason for this is that the bubbles essentially serve as cushions for your object. Each bubble contains an air pocket, which protects your item if it gets bashed around in transit. When the item is properly wrapped, the bubbles are completely encasing the object and minimizing all damage to it. If the bubbles were on the outside, they would come into direct contact with sharper or tougher objects and end up popped, thus removing a good portion of the protection for your item. Wrap up the item entirely in the Bubble Wrap multiple times. For example, if you had a picture frame, you will have cut off a large rectangular piece of Bubble Wrap. Put the long side of the picture frame up to one of the shorter sides of the Bubble Wrap, and hold them together. Now roll it up to the opposite short edge, picking up layers of wrapping as you flip the frame over and over to the other end. The majority of the frame will now be wrapped, and there should be enough wrap left to cover the gaps on the short sides. If you are wrapping something especially valuable, use another piece to ensure the item is entirely covered.
