Furoshiki is the traditional Japanese method of using fabric to wrap gifts. It is a simple, eco friendly way to round out your gift giving during the holidays (or anytime), and is definitely a bonus for whoever is on the receiving end (they can reuse the fabric!). This red and white stripe satin furoshiki by Lucinda-Newton Dunn is a beautiful example. Get creative with scarves, tea towels, and/or scraps of fabric you might have laying around. Or, check out this super awesome tutorial from Bookhou on how to print your own!

I love the big letter printing on muslin! I can imagine using potato prints with small children; with furoshiki, they can proudly make wrapping that will last for many seasons. Our website has lots of ideas for tying styles and sizes; feel free to take a look, and to use the images (with credit, of course): http://www.luluwraps.com. Cheers!
