Published:
Furoshiki wrapping is more popular than ever this year as more and more people seek sustainable ways to give gifts. After all, is there anything nicer than beautifully wrapped gifts? Forget finding the end of the sticky tape or co-ordinating your ribbon with your bow – this furoshiki inspired wrap uses only a single piece of cloth with simple folds and ties. And the best bit? Your recipient can use the fabric again! This is such a simple, yet striking idea, and takes your wrapping game to a whole new level. See how it’s done…
We made this tutorial for you initially for Mother’s Day but it works just as well for any budding Santa’s Elves out there looking to try this technique for Christmas.
You’ll need:
• A square piece of fabric
• Paper and printer (optional)
• Foliage (optional)

You Will Need
- Fabric
- Printer
Step 1
Cut a square of fabric then place your present diagonally in the centre of the fabric piece. Your fabric will need to be a fair size bigger than the gift to ensure you can wrap the box with enough material to tie.
Step 2
Take the opposite corners of fabric and simply tie over the top of the box.
Step 3
You can then gather the other two corners and tie on top doubling up the knot to secure.
Step 4
Add any florals or foliage to your fabric wrapped gifts or slide a Mother’s Day note in between the fold for top marks on presentation.
