Want to add a personal touch to gifts? Try the green and gorgeous Japanese Furoshiki method. “There’s nothing needed other than cloth,” says Wanda Wen, co-owner of Soolip Paperie & Press in West Hollywood, California.
1.
Take a square piece of cloth (you can buy ones with double-sided patterns at Furoshiki.com or recycle barely-used scarfs) whose diagonal measurement is three times the length of the box you’re wrapping. If your cloth only has a pattern on one side, face the plain side up. Place box at a diagonal in the middle of the cloth.
2.
Take opposite corners, pull tightly, and tie them together in a single knot at the center of the top of the box.
3.
Thread the two remaining ends underneath the knot, and tie a double knot over the existing knot to fully wrap the box. Done!
