How To: Wrap Items with a Furoshiki Cloth

This would be such a great skill to master. Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, and the possibilities are endless! This video gets into a few of them, including how to wrap bottles, chocolates, and books — our favorite example. The end result was so cool. You can use, reuse, and reuse again...

You can purchase Furoshiki cloths through Etsy (here and here are some options). Ebay also has some options. You could also make your own with your favorite fabric. Check out DIY Life for a host of articles about Furoshiki.

Great post. I wrap most presents in cloth. If you live by a Crate and Barrel outlet their gorgeous fabric scraps are $1/pound (yep the ones that cost $32/yard in store). However I have not mastered this art even though I have given it a go a few times from a book. Maybe I'll get it figured out from a video better.
