The art of wrapping with Furoshiki
Furoshiki gift wrapping really can be this simple
Furoshiki is a simple way to wrap a gift with fabric. For the easiest method, all you need is your gift and a square of wrapping fabric.
How to wrap with Furoshiki
- Place the gift or item in the centre of the Furoshiki wrapping fabric.
- Bring two diagonally opposite corners together and tie them.
- Bring the remaining two diagonally opposite corners together and tie again.
- Adjust the folds and knots until you are happy with the finish. No tape or scissors required.
And that’s it. Beautifully wrapped, without a wrestling match with paper, tape or hunting for scissors!
Make it your own
For an extra thoughtful touch, tuck a sprig of greenery, dried flowers or seasonal foliage into the folds, or use ribbon or string you already have to create your own finish.
