Known as a ‘furoshiki’ wrapping cloth, this is a method that uses a single rectangular or square piece of fabric with a history that dates all the way back to 710 in Japan. Today, using fabric for wrapping is acknowledged as an eco-friendly, reusable, versatile and very economical way of wrapping gifts, not forgetting how beautiful it looks. Remember to let the receiver of your present know that the fabric can be re-used.

Remember to let the receiver of your present know that the fabric can be re-used.
Gather the following materials:
A piece of fabric such as an off-cut from a scarf, handkerchief or even fabrics lengths that you can source at your local craft or fabric store
Scissors
Decoration for the top of the present such as dried flowers, baubles or a tag
Follow the Steps Below:
STEP 1: POSITION YOUR GIFT
Place your gift in the center of your fabric diagonally.
STEP 2: FOLD THE FABRIC OVER YOUR GIFT
Fold in the sides so that they overlap in the middle of the gift in the same way as you would with traditional wrapping. Make sure the fabric is tight across the gift. It’s not cheating to use a pin to hold it in place!
STEP 3: FOLD THE OTHER SIDES AND TIE
Next, bring the remaining two sides up and over the gift and tie together tightly – ensure the fabric is tucked in as you do this for a neat fold over the gift.
STEP 4: MAKE A DOUBLE KNOT
You can make a double knot and leave as a decoration or tuck in the ends so that you have an attractive simple knot on top of the gift.
STEP 5: ADD A GIFT TAG
You can then tuck in a gift tag, flower or a bauble for a finishing touch.
