How to wrap a doll with no packaging

I have a couple of second hand dolls this year for dd, obviously no packaging, the big disney toddler dolls. I'm not sure how to wrap them prettily? There is already a scuttlebug and joint brio set which will not be wrapped, so I don't want to naked these too!

Pop them in a big gift bag with scrunched up tissue on top?

Get some thin card, a bit longer than the doll and wide enough to wrap round it with a bit of overlap. Wrap round and secure with sellotape.
Cut wrapping paper with enough to wrap round and also fold up ends at top and bottom of doll. Wrap round and stick with sellotape. Fold up ends neatly and stick.

Wrap them in baby blankets?

I want to be you! That’s amazing. would never genuinely have thought of that! I will use that idea so many times in the future.

I’d put them in a box with a lid and make up the box as a bed for the doll. Then wra

Put them in an empty box, or an Amazon box something came in etc. put pretty tissue or shredded paper in. Wrap the box.

Putting things in boxes to wrap them is much easier for me because I hate wrapping.

Lay them down in a shoebox which you have turned into a little bed...so little pillow behind their head, blanket, maybe even a small book.

A cloth wrapping bag?

Bonus is you can re-use or pass on to someone.

We've got a second hand bike without wrapping this year and I'll try to get one of those bows from Home Bargains or somewhere to put on it.

😂I think there are other aspects of me that you might not be so keen on! However I appreciate the compliment!

Lay the doll on some wrapping paper. Wrap the paper over so the doll is covered. Cut to size, remove the doll, seal the sides and one end with tape to make a sort of bag/poke. Pop the doll inside and seal the other end.

Thanks! I'd been pondering reusable bags, but the box sounds like fun! Time to head out with a tape measure...

Don't... its really not worth the hassle. Anything too hard to wrap is automatically a 'sofa present' to me.

I would sit the doll on the scuttlebug.

I bought a lovely doll for my friends daughter and the box was awful. Took it in to card factory and they wrapped it for me! In cellophane and ribbons and I used wrapping paper after

Love this idea.

Ask Santa to perch her jauntily in the tree above the wrapped presents or on top of them, or with her head sticking out of the top of the stocking.... don't want her to suffocate....
