Furoshiki gift wrapping
Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese method of wrapping gifts using recycled or sustainably sourced pieces of cloth. You'll need a square piece of cloth (Furoshiki), your gift, and a flat surface to work on.
-
Select a Furoshiki cloth that is large enough to wrap your gift while leaving some extra fabric for folding and tying. The size of the cloth will depend on the size of your gift.
-
Lay the cloth flat on your working surface, with the pattern or design facing down. Place your gift in the center of the cloth.
-
Fold one corner of the cloth diagonally across the gift to the opposite corner. The gift should now be covered by a triangle-shaped portion of the cloth.
-
Fold the remaining corners of the cloth over the top of the gift, one by one. Make sure the folds are snug but not too tight. Tuck the excess fabric underneath the gift.
-
Gather the two opposite corners of the cloth that are now at the top of the gift. Tie them together into a simple knot. You can use a double knot if needed to secure the wrapping.
-
Adjust the folds and fabric as needed to create a neat and visually pleasing wrapping. You can also add a decorative touch, such as a ribbon or a small ornament, by tucking it under the knot or tying it around the knot.
