How to wrap your Christmas presents in an eco-responsible way?

We have the solution! Have you ever heard of furoshiki? This is a super cool and eco-friendly tip from Japan for wrapping your Christmas presents, and even almost everything, with fabric. We say goodbye to disposable wrapping paper and hello to this traditional technique of folding and tying fabric 👀 So, ready to make a splash under the tree?

A little history lesson?

Furoshiki is nothing new. The Japanese have been using it since the 8th century! Originally it was for carrying their belongings to the public baths, but today it has become a symbol of sustainable living. It can also be translated as “bath mat” 🛁

How to wrap your Christmas gifts with Furoshiki?

What you need :

You will simply need a square of fabric, choose it according to the size of the gift. Cotton, silk, whatever, treat yourself! (and your gift of course 😌)

Furoshiki techniques:

Place your gift in the center of the fabric. Fold two opposite corners to tie them above the object. Repeat with the other two corners, tadaa! 💫

Center the bottle on the fabric. Cross the corners of the fabric over the bottle, then tie them under the neck. Classy and simple! 👌🏼

Tie two corners of the fabric together. Do the same thing on the other side and there you have a bag! Perfect for a group surprise! ✨

Our additional tip:

• Go wild with colors and patterns, it's Christmas after all!
• Play with knots to find your style 🎀
• Don’t hesitate to add small decorations like holly branches, dried flowers or glitter for example ✨
