I'm fascinated with the Furoshiki gift wrapping methods. It's so eco friendly. Imagine receiving all your gifts like this. All those lovely fabrics to reuse!

Here is a chart that shows the different techniques:

Looks easy, right? Those in the video are my favorites with the bag being the top dog!

What was your favorite? Have you ever given or received a gift wrapped furoshiki style?

    Thanks! I'll be using gift wrap I already have this year (and possible next), but after that, I'm going to go green with it. This chart will come in helpful.

    Annie I am using some of my stockpile of gift wrap too. Not everything is appropriate for furoshiki, but I'll be using it whenever I can with some fabric from my stash. It's so fun!
