Holiday How-To: Furoshiki Gift Wrap


Please allow me to introduce the ancient Japanese tradition, furoshiki. Imagine origami, but simpler and more useful. Furoshiki wraps can be used to easily and elegantly wrap holiday and birthday gifts, and offerings for party hosts. In fact, though furoshiki developed in ancient Japan as a way to bundle clothes at the public baths, it is more recently used as a way to protect and decorate gifts.

Before you start your furoshiki, you first need to determine what size fabric you will need to wrap your gifts. I used three different sizes to wrap the above items: small – 15.5″ square, medium – 22″ square, and large 26.5″ square. This tutorial has some great tips on determining the size of fabric you need for the items you intend to wrap. You can also choose to finish the edges of your fabric, or leave them raw.

    This is a really good idea but I must say that I haven’t seen that many attractive scarves in Charity shops……but maybe I haven’t been looking with a discerning eye…..can’t wait to get out and try this !
